‼️IMPORTANT ‼️

Due to a client breaking her arm in a freak accident on Monday evening I will be doing my April diary over the next few days.
If you require anything PLEASE message me ASAP so that I can make sure to TRY to accommodate everyone 🫣

Please note that from 01/04/26 I will be changing bank accounts!
Please be aware that March invoices will be the last payments to go into my current account…new details will be on all April invoices ☺️

As many of you know, but some may not, I have Maple, a 6yo Jack Russell 🍁 unfortunately she has recently been diagnosed with cancer & will be starting treatment next week.
All bookings that are booked in still stand, but unfortunately my availability is currently drastically reduced whilst I try to run my business but also give her the treatment she deserves.

Apologies for any inconvenience!

*IMPORTANT*

Please be aware I may need to increase my prices short term / re arrange my diary to keep fuel costs to a minimum. Both of my fuel cards have gone up by about 15p +VAT a litre. Where I can I will be using the cheapest fuel stations possible but I suspect the pump prices will also rise!

While I’m whinging about fuel prices everyone in the Middle East is very much in my thoughts and those that are missing out on family reunions & holidays…things will get better but everyone’s safety is the most imporant thing

That’s me home, showered and into dry comfy clothes.
Diary, iPad & notebook are all beside me if anyone has any dates that they would like to book in.

I had a meeting yesterday with a client & we have discussed dates right up to the end of 2026. I have also had a client pencil in dates for February 2027 so she can head to 🇳🇿 for a family wedding.
My diary is ALWAYS open. There’s no such thing as being too organised 😆

😪 the joys of winter 🥶

❌ The Jedforest Point to Point has been abandoned.

From the clerk of the course - “Unfortunately we have been beaten by the weather. Temperatures are not rising at all”.

Please share.

I’ve finally been able to get into the frame of mind to continue with my British Horse Society exams!
I’m looking forward to training with Braefield Equestrian Training- with Caroline Wilson up in Edinburgh.

There is space in my car if anyone is interested in attending these courses.

Please be aware Thursday afternoons will no longer be available so I can rest my leg before training !

2026 is looking positive
