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.”
Is Your Vagina Getting in the Way of your Diagnosis?
This piece is one I chose to write for Equitas. I believe its a phenomena that affects many women.

Often this assumptionContinue reading “Is Your Vagina Getting in the Way of your Diagnosis?”

Lately I’ve seen a wealth of new items in stores that I can only describe as a climate mismatch. My current favourite is the riding leggings with knee ventilationContinue reading “Equestrian Clothing Manufacturers – We need to talk!”
Constructive Feedback Vs Criticism
Just something that I wanted to share. Inspired by a conversation with a friend where we realised that we had experienced some great coaches before but also some that had good intentions but lacked the ability to understand the riders current state, couldn’t aim towards goals and ended up being critical rather than helpful. ItContinue reading “Constructive Feedback Vs Criticism”
Dressage – “Don’t Fear to Volunteer”
When we sign up to join Leinster Dressage (or any region of Dressage Ireland), one of the criteria is that wee volunteer to help at regional or national shows. For those of us who volunteer regularly or who have organised and run shows, this is second nature to us and the roles are familiar butContinue reading “Dressage – “Don’t Fear to Volunteer””
