What Iā€™ve realised in my 40s:

Iā€™ve stopped caring what people think of me. If my friends and family are happy, thatā€™s what matters.

Beauty starts from the inside.

Money is important, but itā€™s not everything.

Love and peace are worth more than approval.

My time and energy are valuable.

Protecting my space isnā€™t selfish.

True richness is, good health, deep love, and the freedom to be yourself.

I choose authenticity over approval.

Iā€™ve learned that if someone copies me, itā€™s a compliment.

At the end of the day, itā€™s the small moments, the people that matter, and living true to myself that matter most x

Today reminded me that sometimes the smallest moments can make the biggest difference.

No pressure, no pretence, no expectation.

Just a pony in someoneā€™s bedroom, giving comfort and love.

Watching this beautiful lady enjoy little Evie today was pure magic.

Her smile, and the look in her eyes, said everything.

Honestly, itā€™s moments like this that make it a true honour to be part of what we do.

Forget the stresses and strains of everyday life, these are the times that really matter x

I really debated whether to include all parts of this reel.

I worried about potential negative comments about Charmieā€™s reaction to some of Danā€™s uncontrolled movements.

But I felt it was important to show you all.

Firstly, to show just how much Danā€™s control improved throughout the visit. The progress was incredible to witness and his perseverance and determination are truly inspiring.

And secondly, to show how truly amazing Charm was in handling an unfamiliar and unpredictable situation with such patience and heart. She is my hero.

To say Iā€™m immensely proud of them both is an understatement. What absolute warriors ā¤ļø

A little glimpse into our morning yesterday, before we headed to Chippenham for a visit.

Feeding, putting out, loading upā€¦ and a few kisses!

Yes Gracie looks feral! She was just accompanying Charm in the trailer on this occasion. We all need some warm weather so they can have a good bath! x

There are so many things that are my favourite part of my job, but one of the absolute best has to be my boys joining me on visits. Watching me, supporting me, encouraging me and most importantly helping me spread the love.

I know they didnā€™t find it easy at first. The places I visit can sometimes be sad, upsetting and hard. But I also believe itā€™s important to be real with them. Theyā€™re old enough now to understand the harder truths of life, that we grow old and that some people have additional needs. But they are still people, and many of them Iā€™m lucky enough to call my friends.

Dan being one of them.

And I KNOW heā€™ll see this, because he specifically asked me to post the video. He wants to be seen and he wants to be famous. And I love that. I love his smile, his energy and his friendship.

Thank you Dan for making me happy today. Visiting you and your friends is a privilege and Iā€™m already looking forward to seeing you again in a couple of months x

I struggle to watch the news these days.

I know people will say we should keep up with world events. That we should stay informed.

And maybe theyā€™re right. But most days, I just canā€™t bring myself to watch. It feels heavy. It hurts my heart.

Instead, I choose to spend my days with beautiful people and animals. With those who love and have been loved. With those who carry compassion and kindness so naturally. The quiet givers. The gentle souls. The ones who still believe in goodness.

It may not seem like the most educated decision to some. But itā€™s my decision. And it protects my heart.

I choose to focus on connection, on warmth, on moments of softness in a world that can feel so hard.

There is still so much love out there. And thatā€™s where I choose to place my energy x

There was no master plan at the beginning.
No model to copy. No business blueprint to follow.

Just me, two ponies, and a vision that kept evolving.

I had to figure everything out myself. What equipment to use, where to buy it, how to market something that didnā€™t really exist yet.

There was no one to ask. No one to copy.

And there were so many hurdles. Oh so many hurdles. I remember them clearly. I remember crying to friends, telling them I wasnā€™t made for this. That I wasnā€™t strong enough to keep pushing through the obstacles.

But they told me to keep going.
They urged me to, for me, and for my boys.
I didnā€™t want to teach them that when things get hard, you quit.

So I kept going. And Iā€™m so glad I did.
Because things donā€™t come easy. And Iā€™ve learned that the harder the road, the greater the reward x

Come with me on a wet Sunday morning to turn the D***s out šŸ˜•

Sometimes when Iā€™m on visits, I become so involved in the moment, so focused on the person right in front of me, that I donā€™t always see everything else that is unfolding around me.

Itā€™s only when I step back, or replay our interactions on video later, that I notice the beautiful scenes quietly happening in the background.

The lovely smiles. The beautiful expressions. The people simply sitting nearby, taking it all in and enjoying the ponies just as much as the person I am beside.

Charlie is one of those people. Such a warm and caring gentleman. If you can, try and watch this reel, and look past the conversation happening in front of him, and just watch him for a moment. Watch his face. The way he looks on. The quiet joy.

He is absolutely gorgeous.

These visits are never just about one person. There is always so much more happening in the room than I ever realise. And sometimes the most touching moments are the ones I donā€™t always see straight away x
