Princess the unicorn and friends

🌟 Taking a little time for me this afternoon! As someone who works around the clock, I’ve realized the importance of self-care, and today was all about pampering myself. 💅✨

I had the pleasure of getting my nails done by the incredible Abi, and let me tell you, she is an absolute gem! 🌼

I believe that supporting amazing businesses like Abi’s doesn’t dim your own sparkle; it only helps others shine even brighter! 💖

Just look at these nails! It’s a beautiful reminder that even when I spend my days in the mud, a little bit of glam can put a smile on my face.

Remember, self-care is essential! 💪✨

🌟 What a fantastic day! Today was our annual health check for our beautiful horses and, of course, our unicorns, thanks to Wi******er Council’s David and Charles. This check is a crucial part of maintaining our license to run a horse riding school, ensuring that our horses are not only well cared for but also that we meet all necessary insurance requirements. 🐴✨

It’s always a bit nerve-wracking with such an official inspection, but I’m thrilled to report that everything went wonderfully! Sometimes, I still can’t believe I own and run my very own horse riding school—especially since I started with no money or land! Just a big dream and lots of determination. 💪💖

David and Charles had some wonderful words to share—calling me an inspiration and highlighting my passion for learning and caring for my horses and clients. Their excitement for my future means the world to me! 🌈

Reflecting on the journey, it’s been a rollercoaster over these nine years, filled with challenges, mistakes, and countless lessons. But I’m finally finding my rhythm and truly enjoying this adventure called life. Remember, we only get one shot at this, so let’s make every day count! 🎉

Thanks for being part of this journey with me! Here’s to more amazing days ahead! 🥳❤️

Two beautiful and amazingly talented horses! 💔 🐴 so heartbreaking for everyone. Need to give my beautiful horses & (unicorn) a bigger, longer, tighter hug! let them know how truly loved and special they all are!

Sleep well Blueberry and Uti, two of the greatest horses of our generation.

It is with immense sadness that we have said goodbye to Valegro and Uthopia and without question, this is a loss that just feels hard to comprehend.

Trying to write a tribute to these two horses feels harder than I imagined. The yard just doesn’t feel the same without them, there’s an emptiness in the air.

Valegro and Uthopia did more than win medals and write history, they gave our sport a golden era. They both showed that greatness can be gentle, sensitive and harmonious and they made a nation proud and inspired so many.

Being part of their journey will always remain one of my proudest achievements and the whole team and myself are deeply grateful for the joy they gave to us at home but also to their fans around the world.

Their entire lives ran in parallel; they travelled to the shows side by side, lived in neighbouring stables, grazed in the same fields and retired together. Their bond and companionship were absolute.

As life as old boys advanced, so too did the health challenges, so allowing them to leave this world together was the final act of loyalty and dignity I felt I could give them, honouring a partnership that had never been separated in life.

They leave behind a huge void, and the yard has changed forever and so have we. They were our family and I will love and miss them always. The impact they had will remain but sadly, we don’t get to keep horses forever.
We only get to carry what they leave inside us. And these two left us so much.

🌟 What a whirlwind of a week it has been! Today started bright and early at 5 AM as we set off for London, invited to a stunning nursery at the iconic Royal Albert Hall. Meeting the children was nothing short of magical! Their excitement and wonder at the sight of Princess truly warmed my heart.

I had the joy of sharing the tale of how I discovered my beautiful unicorn princess, along with the adventures we’ve embarked on together. We explored some fascinating facts about unicorns and I answered all their curious questions. The highlight? Watching each child’s face light up with joy as they took a photo with Princess!

I also had the pleasure of connecting with some of the wonderful parents—though I can’t name names, their words touched my heart. They expressed feeling as if they were in the presence of a celebrity, while I couldn’t help but feel starstruck by their warmth and kindness. What a surreal moment!

Reflecting on my journey, I’m just a girl who always had her head in the clouds, navigating life with ADHD and dyslexia. I was that fidgety child in school, always chatting and dreaming. Yet here I am, running my very own riding school with beautiful horses—something I once only dreamed of as a child.

This journey has reinforced the importance of pursuing your passions and staying true to yourself, no matter the obstacles. To my children and all of you out there: never let anyone discourage you from following your heart. The sky’s the limit when you believe in yourself!

🌧️✨ Another weekend in the books, and what a wonderful one it was! Despite the rain, everyone had a fantastic time in their lessons and at parties and special gatherings. Today’s weather turned around beautifully, making it perfect for a little puddle jumping! 💦

I must admit, I took full advantage of it with my trusty welly boots while walking through the forest. Who says you have to grow up? I’m definitely still a child at heart and loving every splash! 😂🌈

Just a heads up, I won’t be able to answer messages tonight because I’m off on a date night with my lovely husband! 💖 We’re super excited to catch the second Wicked film—can’t wait! 🎭

I’ll be back with everyone tomorrow, and we have a fun-filled week ahead with huge adventures! 🦄✨ Keep an eye out to see what mischief a unicorn can get up to in a week!

Have a magical evening! 💫

🌧️ What a wet and wild day it was! Despite the rain, Princess and Thor were absolute stars during their lessons! 🌟 Princess even managed to sprinkle a little magic in the New Forest, proving that weather can’t dampen our spirits!

I’m incredibly grateful for my fabulous collection of waterproof coats—definitely a lifesaver today! 🧥 But let’s be honest, nothing beats the joy of sinking into a hot bath after a day like this! 🛁

🌟 I want to give a huge shoutout to a wonderful local business owner, abi! As many of you know, I truly believe in supporting and uplifting each other in our community, and abi is one of the best!

She is the loveliest person, and I can personally vouch for her incredible nail artistry. Many of you have complimented my nails lately, and I have to say, they’ve never looked better! Thanks to abi, I finally have beautiful nails and not just grubby little fingernails from daily work with the horses.

If her nails can withstand everything I put them through, then she’s definitely doing something amazing! Please take a moment to support her—follow her page and check out her work. Let’s cheer each other on! 💅❤️

🌬️❄️ Brrr! Winter has officially arrived, and it’s bringing a chill that’s here to stay! As temperatures drop, let’s make the most of our horse riding lessons while staying cozy.

To keep those little hands warm and ready to ride, I highly recommend a good pair of gloves! Knitted woolly gloves with grips on the inside are perfect for kids, ensuring warmth without sacrificing grip. Alternatively, a sturdy pair of winter gloves works wonders too.

Bundle up, stay warm, and let’s enjoy the rides together! 🐴✨

🌞🐴 These three are such divas! I had to practically drag them out to soak up some sunshine today. 😂 It’s like trying to get a teenager to leave their cozy bed! 🙄

After what felt like an eternity of rain, the sun finally peeked out, and you’d think they’d be excited. But nope! They were perfectly content in their “stables” (aka their luxury bedrooms). I literally had to push them out to the field to enjoy the fresh air!

They’re spoiled? Absolutely! But let me tell you, they stood at the gate all day, looking like they were waiting for the royal decree to return to their stables. Who knew horses could be such homebodies? 😄🏡✨
