Well this is a first for me… Feeding a fox dog treats! They have a family of 7 foxes that live on the yard. This is the dad and don’t worry he is currently being treated for the mange as one of the liveries has gained his trust and can get close to him. Never would I have thought I would be this close to a fox when I set off to work today! 🦊🧡

📣 Polite Client Notice 📣

Just a little post with just a few reminders to bear in mind for appointments please 🙏

💰 Payment is due on the day of your treatment. I don’t have the time to continuously chase payments. We all have bills to pay and I am running a business but it’s becoming more and more frustrating having to chase payments. I work 7 days a week and then trying to find further time to chase people is just unfair. I really don’t want to have to start asking for deposits or payment upfront but I may have to start to enforce this.

🧽 Please ensure your horse is groomed/clean and dry for the appointment time.

🕰️ Please be ready on time for your appointment as I am always booked back to back and it’s not fair having to make others wait for their appointments.

📅 A minimum of 48 hours notice of cancellations is required otherwise you will be charged in full.

🐾 Please ensure any loose dogs are kept under control for my arrival to the yard. Unfortunately I have had multiple occasions of dogs jumping up at my car causing scratches and damage. You all know how much I love all animals especially dogs but I do not share the same love for scratches on my car!

🥰 I am so very grateful to have so many wonderful clients but unfortunately a few are causing me to have some serious admin headaches and high blood pressure 😂

🤗 Thank you all in advance

Two hearts, two breaths — and one quiet moment of trust.
Between the wooden walls of the stable, they find each other not with words, but with a gentle touch.
No rush, no fear — only tenderness that needs no explanation.

Horses teach us simple truths: to stay close, to feel, to trust.
Sometimes all it takes is reaching toward one another — and the world becomes a little warmer.
In this gaze and soft touch lives true friendship, calm, and a love that cannot be hidden.
