ABOUT ME:

Me having some time away from the horses

Like most other kids, I wanted to ride, and in those days, we were allowed to help out at riding schools in exchange for riding. So from the age of 6, I was hooked on horses. About 7 years passed by and sadly I became allergic to horses and was forced to stop riding.

One day in my early thirties, I decided to see if I could actually be near horses without any allergic reaction. Hooray - success. Now I was hooked again, and within the first year of riding again, I had passed (with high results),  Levels 1, 2 & 3 of the British Horse Society Horse Owners Certificate and owned my first horse - Holly. I haven't looked back since. Now I have two lovely mares and three young Shetland geldings.

In October 2005, I started my freelance groom business part-time and in January 2006, I gave up full-time employment so I could work with horses all day. Since then, my days have been spent caring for my horses, those on livery with me and on client sites.

As a BHS Gold Member, I am Insured for Personal Liability and Personal Accident in respect of my own horses or ones in my care. For more information, visit BHS membership.

Please let me introduce you to my little family.

ABOUT BILLY B: 

Billy has been with me since June 2008. He is a very cheeky unregistered 10.2hh Shetland gelding. Billy is 5 but acts lots older. He is absolutely brilliant in traffic and is so chilled out. We are often out walking around the Binfield Circuit. If you see us, come and say hello.He loves humans and follows me around and helps me empty the wheelbarrow in his own special way! Billy stands for hours while you scratch around his withers, under his neck, belly and his hind legs or just about anywhere.

ABOUT MR HUMPHRIES:

Mr Humphries (or Humfy for short),  joined my little family in June 2009. He is a 5 year old unregistered mini shetland gelding of 9hh. Humfy is the most affectionate pony who loves giving you kisses and being scratched around his head and neck and belly. He happily follows you everywhere as he loves attention. He often runs in front of me to stop me walking away as he wants more attention.

ABOUT ROGER:

Roger is half brother to Humfy and has been signed over to me and joined my family in November 2009. He is a 5 year old unregistered mini shetland gelding of just under 9hh. Roger is easily scared and isn't good in traffic. He loves being scratched between his legs and lifts his leg so you can get to the correct spot. He follows Humfy everywhere and plays with Billy too. Roger does however like to test my patience by jumping through the electric fencing to get to the lovely green grass on the other side.
