BAMBI has a bit of a problem!! 🥺🦌❤️ … It seems that lots of you hadn’t seen her initial introduction, and missed her appeal for a foster home ... so she’s still waiting in kennels and we feel that she’s been a little bit ‘forgotten’ 🥺🦌❤️

She is one of the most emaciated dogs we have ever helped - her body score was just 1/10 and she weighed just 10kg 😰 she was rescued from living (loosely termed 💔) in her own urine/faeces in a crate - her fur and paws were burnt from the urine 😣

She is just 1 yr old … and despite all of this that she’s endured, she truly couldn’t love people any more and is just the sweetest little girl you could ever meet ❤️🦌

Bambi is doing so well gaining weight nicely with 5 small meals a day, her coat is nice and shiny now, she’s cosy, comfy, warm and clean at all times, she’s playing with her toys now… BUT!!! She deserves so much more!! 😭 She shouldn’t still be in a kennel - she adores people and just soaks up affection and attention- all she wants is to be snuggled up with someone on a sofa ❤️

She is still very puppy like as she has missed out on so much of her puppyhood 🥺 she clearly hasn’t had any training, but will pick things up very quickly ❤️

BAMBI DESPERATELY DESERVES TO BE IN A HOME THIS WINTER!!!! ❤️🦌❤️ HELP US GET OUR SPECIAL GIRL OUT OF KENNELS!!! ❤️🦌❤️

The Anti-Regret Guide to Horses, Hormones and Hard Days ❤

There is something wonderfully ridiculous about wanting horses. You imagine partnership and beach gallops. Life gives you mud, rain, flies, wind that rearranges your face, repetition, setbacks, near-death moments and farriers who ghost you. Then your hormones crash the party. Your brain turns to cotton wool, your joints protest and your to-do list becomes a horror film.

So when someone says they are too overwhelmed to work with their horse, I get it. But here is what people forget. The most inspiring horsewomen are not the ones with tidy lives. They are the ones life tried to break. Women who lost loved ones and came back sharper. People who survived cancer or live with it daily and say it taught them how to live. People who crawled out of trauma, chronic disease and hardship and still decided life is worth fighting for. People who woke up after a heart attack and whispered, “I wish I had made different choices.”

They are not superhuman. They just stopped pretending time is infinite. If I am lucky, I have maybe a thousand weeks left with horses. A thousand weeks to be conscious. A thousand weeks to stop letting comfort make the decisions. A thousand weeks is not many.

This is why conscious living matters. Not floating. Planning. Conscious rest is saying, “I am wrecked today. I rest and return Thursday.” Collapse is what happens when you pretend you are fine. Conscious push is the same. Do not wait to feel motivated. Hormones have made motivation unreliable. Use the Mel Robbins five second rule. Five seconds between “I should” and “nah.” Stand up, boots on, walk to the paddock before your brain invents the excuse. Not glamorous. But it works.

You fix your life bit by bit. Not by adding more horses, more clinics or more fantasy goals. Reality is kinder. Look at your time. Look at your energy. Pick one horse. One goal. One impossible task. Do it. Then do the next and clear your chaos.

And now for the uncomfortable part. Check your screen time. If it is creeping toward three hours, you are not too busy. You are quietly donating your life to algorithms that do not care whether you touch your horse again. Meanwhile your horse is in the paddock desperately needing movement and leadership.

Horses do not need perfection. They need try. They need you showing up messy and determined. They need you choosing yourself in small but consistent ways.

No one is coming to save your schedule. You earn confidence. You earn strength. You earn your life with horses by choosing it deliberately. Rest when needed. Push when needed. Plan both. Fight for both. You will never feel ready. Energy comes from effort. Momentum comes from action.

Rise, you glorious creature. Bit by bit. Choice by choice. Boot by boot. Your weeks are limited, and your horse is waiting ❤.

A deeply worrying step backwards for nature.
The UK Government has rejected Amendment 130/40 and crucial chalk stream protections.

This happened despite strong evidence showing that:

⚠️Nature isn’t the cause of housebuilding delays
🧰 Skills shortages are the real barrier to housing delivery – not wildlife!
🏗️ Planning changes are tipping the balance towards growth at the expense of the environment
🏠Greener home incentives are urgently needed
🌱Biodiversity Net Gain cannot succeed if small sites are exempt.

Using nature as a scapegoat won’t fix the planning system- it will only damage it.

💚 Huge thanks to everyone who contacted their MP. Please keep speaking up.

We think each year, individuals suffer because of loud fireworks. We believe horses, dogs, cats, livestock and wildlife can be terrified by noisy fireworks and many people find them intolerable.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Whispers to a War Horse ❤
Amid the chaos, still and near,
A soldier bends, the world unclear.
With trembling hands, he strokes the mane,
A fleeting balm for grief and pain.

The horse leans close, its dark eyes deep,
A keeper of the secrets they keep.
No words are said, yet both can feel,
The bond of trust, unbroken, real.

Steel and leather, dust and fear,
Echo round them, sharp and near.
But in this moment, soft, profound,
The noise of war makes not a sound.

For though the world may tear apart,
Man and beast share one brave heart.
Through blood, through loss, they’ll march as one,
Till night has claimed what day’s begun.

remembering all those horses who lost their loves in Wars on Memorial Day
