Reviews
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.” - Stephen Covey
Found this a challenging thought today and thought I’d share it. Listening to each other is a skill, and a skill we all deeply appreciate when we find a good listener... but listening with the intent to understand rather than to be able to formulate our response... now there’s a thought!
... “Seek first to understand then to be understood” (Stephen Covey again)

Morning peeps!! I came across this quote this morning, it provoked some thought in me, so I thought I would share!
“We are here but for a second, but our impact ripples through time.” ― Neetal Parekh

On this fine Monday morning, wherever you are, whatever you might be doing or going through - remember:
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. - Mother Teresa
... Sending you all a big happy Monday 🙌🏼 - and to coin a phrase ‘You Got This!’

It’s such an important part of life, community... volunteering and working together to even help one person who needs help in life is worth it, and this place has helped so many different people in so many different ways. Please consider supporting this petition to keep this charity farm running and providing the invaluable and irreplaceable services it does.

Happy Easter folks!
A spring walk in the park... friendship!
I had to share this one today...

If you have time on this busy Monday... please read my brother's blog on how he has and is coping with his cancer... he has an amazing way of giving hope not just to fellow sufferers, but to all of us on the journey of life by sharing all he is learning and reminding us of some important things... I am so blessed to have a brother like him!
... '...But, I’ve also come to understand that positive people are real about what they’re facing. Even if it’s scary, they name their fear. Name it all! Describe it! Analyse it in detail. Don’t hide from it. Don’t lie about it (to yourself or others). Don’t try to blot it out. Admit your fear (and what you’re afraid of).'
“Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there’s got to be a way through it.” - Michael J Fox

On behalf of a trusted friend, this is top notch saddle for sale, cared for impeccably. Please can you share appropriately and get in touch with Joanne Horwood if you are interested. Thank you!
#MondayMotivation. Word for the week... beautiful people is #kindness - in a world where we are encouraged to be selfish at times, kindness can be a sacrifice... but I can’t think of any time when kindness is wasted, or pointless... you may never know what your little action does for someone else - friend, acquaintance, colleague, family or stranger.
Here’s to you all having a fabulous week everyone! 🤪😆😎
Today’s word (and thought) of the day .... #gentleness
In all we do today, whether with people or furry friends, let #gentleness be our theme!
Have an awesome Tuesday folks!
... and a little bit of a photoshoot today for Olivia Towers Dressage ... I reckon these t-shirts and hoodies are gonna go like hot-cakes! 🙌🏼
So for those of you who know my eldest brother has cancer and has had a stem cell transplant recently.... here is his latest blog.
Some of you may never have heard or know nothing about the process of registering and actually being called when you’ve been matched to a patient... please do read up about it and consider going on the donor register. There is a low match potential for even direct family members and for us three siblings to have not been a match was so hard fo...r us when it seemed the most natural solution... it’s not that we wouldn’t, it’s that we couldn’t! Whilst I may not be for my brother - I may be for someone else. The preciousness of having a person willing to give to someone they don’t know and help extend their life potentially by many many years is so special.... to Andy and to me as one of biggest fans!
This Sunday please consider registering and / or donating... links below:

Lastly - thank you so much for all your lovely kind messages of support and love, it means so much. Please go and give those you love the biggest hug today and tell them you love them! Happy Sunday dear sweet friends!

It's great to see Nuno Baptista continuing his regular UK training trips, organised now by his business partner Jane Gowing and the lovely Sallyanne Barton! Unfortunately in early 2018 Desk Jockeys made the difficult decision to stop organising these clinics for financial reasons, not a decision taken lightly I can assure you! Please do contact Nuno directly if you are interested in a lesson with him over here - you can do that via the Marchanta Equestrian page, where yo...u can also find out about how awesome his training holidays are at the beautifully presented Marchanta location, with his stunning horses.
Whether you have a lesson with him in the UK on your own horse, or travel to ride his advanced level horses in Portugal, as I've said quite a few times over the last few years... you won't regret it... the only thing you might do is become addicted! ENJOY! 😍🐎☀️
