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. When we experience symptoms that affect our ability to enjoy our sport or to have a quality of life we are often written off as emotional / over sensitive / anxious / hormonal.

Lately I’ve seen a wealth of new items in stores that I can only describe as a climate mismatch.

Things Instructors and Coaches Say
There was a post the other week on the “sh*teventersunite” page about phrases commonly used by instructors / coaches. Now while I have a few phrases of my own (mainly about elbows and clicking), it got me thinking of some of my favourite phrases I have heard screamed at me while on a horse. 🦄“YouContinue reading “Things Instructors and Coaches Say”
