Category: The Journey – Dancer

There is nothing in this world that makes me happier than to share these incredibly special times with this mare. She and I have had a long and colourful history together (14 years) including many years of punitive and coercive traditional and natural riding and handling (including competing in eventing). As the main catalyst for my journey to […]

Sometimes I am reminded of just how different my Dancer is now compared to just a couple of years ago. The last couple of days they’ve had their hay topped up very early compared to normal. The reliable stimulus predicting hay arriving was …either me or Chris walking into the field. Just a year or […]

“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being” Hafiz NB: This image is one I captured of my most favourite and loved places in the UK – Blue Anchor Bay. It’s breathtaking beauty brings back some of my most treasured memories

I literally exploded out of the start gates at the beginning of this year. Quite how it is nearly August already, I honestly don’t know! It’s been absolutely fabulous, I am loving every moment! However, I always find it ironic that during these periods of rapid change, it’s our personal and emotional growth which seemingly have a tough time […]

I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it and continue to be blown away […]

Dancer was diagnosed with advanced ringbone in her right pastern joint in the summer of 2010. I knew something wasn’t right, I had been aware of it for a little while, but each time I tried to show someone her very slightly shortened stride on her right fore when moving on the right rein, they […]

Do you trust what your instincts are telling you? I was tidying up my emails recently, and I came across an email I wrote quite some time ago now. I thought I would share it because I know how tough it can be to trust our instincts and our inner feelings. It really does take […]
