Recently, I saw a video on TikTok that changed the chemistry in my brain. Given the amount of frivolous content I watch on there, mainly as a head break from reality, I wasn’t expecting to have an epiphany. The video explained an experience where the user was targeted verbally by a random person on publicContinue reading “I Don’t Have Blue Hair”

BWRT & Me – I’m not changing, I’m changing back.
Once upon a time there was a girl who believed she could be anything and do anything she wanted. This was in spite of many of her dreams being very much out of reach. It was in spite of not having the background to make it easy. It was in spite of every single personContinue reading “BWRT & Me – I’m not changing, I’m changing back.”
WSI Give Green Light to Emerald Dressage
One of the things I have been asked about most recently has been the fabulous Emerald Dressage Stallion Pompidou AF (Desperado x Florencio I). I was lucky enough to become involved with this horse through my husband Ross. I am a huge dressage fan and his sire is one of my favourites.

#iamnotdone
A wrote a post for the Grassroots gazette this week. It centered around the fact that in my opinion we have way too many melancholic posts doing the rounds on social media about being “done” and about being tired of pretending to enjoy competing.
