Behold........

The Franken-Poo-Picker™️

This is a two-pronged p**p picker that is, by all known laws of plastic engineering, deceased.

It has been taped. Re-taped. And then taped again for emotional support.
Have I bought three this year already?

Yes.

Did I refuse to buy a fourth on principle?

Also yes.

At this point it’s less a tool and more a statement.

• Is it structurally sound? Questionable.
• Does it flex like it’s had a long day? Absolutely.
• Will it survive the winter? Spiritually, no. Physically, maybe.

Horse ownership is 10 percent joy, 20 percent mud, and 70 percent standing in a field going:

“I am not buying another one of these.”

This is sustainability.
This is resilience.

This is duct tape holding together both plastic and my last shred of patience.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be out here, running a one-woman recycling scheme and pretending this was the plan all along.

Available for hire.

Tuesday Tales 📖

IVF Christmas 2023. 🎄
Straight into January '24 with a failed cycle.

Nothing quite says “new year, fresh start” like medical disappointment and a severe hormonal hangover.

While everyone else was banging on about intentions, vision boards, and becoming their “best self,” I was starting the year with scans, numbers, and the quiet realisation that hope had just been dashed.

There’s a particular British skill ( problem ) in this situation.

You carry on.
You make the tea.
You say “I’m fine” in a tone that ends the conversation.

This is 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙛𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙙 grief.

The kind you’re expected to swallow neatly and move along from, preferably without making anyone else uncomfortable.

January doesn’t feel hopeful when you start it like that....
It feels flat.
Clinical.
Slightly absurd.

The thing about it though is this.
January doesn’t just happen once.

It turns up every year.
Same smug energy.
Same pressure to feel hopeful.
Same assumption that we’re all starting from a clean slate.

And some of us never are.

And if that’s you right now, or was you once, you’re not broken for feeling cynical while the world shouts optimism at you in the new year.

Sometimes the most honest response to “new year, new me”
is a raised eyebrow and getting through the day.

No inspiration required. ✨️

How we can rewild everyday
(no forests required) 🌱 unless you have one to hand 😉

Rewilding isn’t a lifestyle overhaul.
It’s letting your biology back into the room.

🌤️ See real light early
Ten minutes of daylight, even through cloud, helps set your circadian rhythm. This tells your brain when to wake, eat, focus, and sleep. Screens do not count.

🚶 Move in low-effort ways
Walking, carrying, tidying, pottering. Rhythmic movement regulates the nervous system far better than forcing yourself into “productive exercise”.

❄️ Feel the weather
Cold air on your face. Warm water on your hands. Wind, rain, heat. Sensory input anchors the body in time and place.

🕰️ Eat and rest roughly on a rhythm
Not perfect schedules. Just some consistency. Bodies like predictability more than optimisation.

📵 Create pockets without stimulation
No phone while making tea. No podcast on a short walk. Boredom is not a problem. It’s a reset.

🐴 Spend time with animals or nature when you can
They operate on seasons, light, and safety, not urgency. Your nervous system learns by proximity.

Rewilding isn’t about escaping modern life , oh I wish I could live in a hut in a forest and make jam & bread 🍞 and that be all.

It’s about stopping the constant override of systems that evolved to keep you steady.

Small changes.
Daily.
Biology-led.

That’s enough.
🌿 ⏰ 🧠 🍂 🐴

I’ve made something new, and it’s free 🌿

Re-Wild Yourself is a gentle participant guide for women who feel most like themselves when they’re outside, near horses, breathing properly again.

It’s not therapy.
It’s not self-improvement.
It’s not about fixing anything.

It’s somatic, nervous-system aware, earthy, slow, and human.
Grounded in choice, consent, curiosity, and a bit of mud on your boots.
Horses are present, not used.
Rest counts. Doing nothing counts.

If you’d like the free guide, comment REWILD and I’ll send you the link 🌾

Quiet things still matter.

“If my life was a movie, the audience would be screaming…”

• WHY ARE YOU DOING SIX THINGS AT ONCE.
• WRITE IT DOWN. WRITE IT DOWN.
• THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY.
• YOU DO NOT NEED TO FIX THIS AT 11PM

Your Turn!

Having horses when you’re neurodivergent is basically running a a very high budget wellbeing retreat for yourself without realising it. 🐴🧠

You thought you were buying a horse.
What you actually bought was an external hard drive for your nervous system.

• Routine?
People love to say horses thrive on routine.
Mine thrive on ✨vibes✨.
I turn up at wildly inconsistent times like a feral yard goblin and they’re like,
“Ah yes. This version of you again.” ⏰🧌 We LOVE it.

• Executive dysfunction?
You can ignore emails for weeks.
You will not ignore a horse staring at you like you personally ruined their day because you gave them 3 carrots and they know the 4th is in your pocket. 👁️🌾

• Sensory overload?
Phone = too loud.
People = too loud.
Horse chewing hay = perfect.
Brain finally stops buffering. 📵🌾

• Social energy at zero?
Great. Horses do not do small talk. Ideal.
They will stand with you in silence and call it quality time. 🤝

• Hyperfocus?
You only meant to “quickly check” them for the 4th time today.
It’s now dark, you’re covered in mud, and you’ve started a deep emotional audit of saddle pads and long lost bags of miscellaneous items. 🔦🫠

• Emotional regulation?
Horses sense your internal chaos before you’ve even parked the car.
They don’t judge it.
They just quietly refuse to cooperate until you stop spiralling. Iconic behaviour. 👑

• Masking?
Doesn’t work.
Horse sees straight through it like,
“Please stop pretending you’re fine. I can smell the cortisol.” 👃😐

They don’t care if your life is messy.
They don’t care if you’re late.
They don’t care if you haven’t replied to anyone in your WhatsApp for three days.

They care that you show up.
That you’re kind.
That the hay eventually appears. 🌾💛

It’s not structure.
It’s connection.
And somehow that’s exactly what our brains needed all along.

We worry about our horses. We worry about them spending too much time inside, developing vices, getting stiff, getting bored.

But we rarely stop to notice that we have become "life sour."

Look at the human habitat:

We sleep in a brick box.
We commute in a metal box.
We sit for 8 hours staring at a glowing light box 🖥 if that's our job.

We are the ones living in captivity.
We are the ones who are domesticated, clipped, and rugged by society. We are fed a diet of artificial urgency, blue light, and processed stress... 📱

And we wonder why we feel anxious.
We wonder why we feel "nappy" on a Monday morning.

Then... we drive to the yard in our metal boxes 🚗...beep beep.

It is often the only time in 24 hours that we touch something real. Mud. Cold water. Rough hair. The smell of earth and hay....unless you work here.

We tell ourselves we go there to exercise the horse. But if we are honest about it. They are the ones exercising us.

They are re-wilding us, one grooming session at a time. They are the anchor that pulls us out of our heads and back into our bodies. They remind our nervous systems that we are not designed for spreadsheets—we are designed for connection.

When you feel that desperate, magnetic pull to go to the yard, even when it’s freezing, even when you are exhausted... That isn’t just a "hobby." That is your survival instinct fighting for air.

You aren’t just "checking on the horse." You are escaping the human zoo for an hour to remember what it feels like to be a living thing.

So if you just stood in the field today and breathed them in? You didn’t waste time. You just came up for air. 🫁🐴

🧠💥 POLYVAGAL THEORY (aka “Why you snapped at your partner, cried in Tesco, and then needed a nap… all in the same hour.”)

Let’s make it simple. Like, ponies-in-a-field simple. 🐴

Because your nervous system? She’s dramatic. She has moods. And she doesn’t always let your brain know what she’s doing.

So let’s meet the three ponies of Polyvagal Theory:

🖤 Fight-or-Flight Pony – jumpy, twitchy, ready to bolt because someone looked at them funny. Will probably scream if you drop a spoon.
(Yes, this is why you couldn't reply to that text. Or got irrationally angry at the slow WiFi.)

🤍 Safe and Social Pony – this pony is vibing. Makes eye contact. Can handle a chat. Will help you carry your emotional bags AND make you a cuppa.
(This is the version of you that’s brushing your horse, laughing with a mate, and actually responding to emails.)

🤎 Shutdown Pony – she’s DONE. Over it. Can’t even. Has entered energy-saving mode like an old laptop.
(Not lazy. Not rude. Just nervous system: unplugged.)

💡Polyvagal Theory says:
You’re not broken.
You’re not overreacting.
Your body is just trying to protect you — sometimes in ways that feel ridiculous (but make total sense underneath).

Right. A gentle reality check for January brains.

Your horse has had two weeks off over Christmas.
You feel guilty.
You’re convinced they’ve lost all their muscle.
Your brain is telling you that you’re basically back to square one.

Pause.

They are horses. Not fitness influencers.

They do not care if they have missed schooling.
They are not spiralling about topline.
They are not lying in the field thinking, “Well that’s my season ruined.”

What they care about is this: Are they fed.
Are they warm enough.
Are they safe.
Are they allowed to be horses.

Two weeks off does not undo years of care.
Muscle memory exists. Bodies adapt. Horses are designed to cope with far more than a quiet December.

The pressure you feel right now is human pressure, not equine need.

You do not need to rush.
You do not need to punish yourself with a “restart from zero” mindset.
You do not need to prove anything in January.

Start where you are.
Do what you realistically have the time and energy for.
Let winter be winter.

Your horse is fine.
You’re allowed to be too.

Whose back to work today?

28/12/2025

Any of my Scottish friends in here?

I am heading up to Poolewe next week with Jed and Splosh 🐶 and we’re after proper recommendations.

Looking for:

• Good food that’s actually worth it
• Dog-friendly places to eat
• Walks with big views, wild bits, forests, coastlines
• Easy wanders and slightly bigger adventures
• Hidden gems you’d tell a friend, not TripAdvisor

We’re very much in our wandering, eating well, staring at landscapes, letting the dog live her best life era.

If you know somewhere we shouldn’t miss, drop it below. Cafés, beaches, short walks, long walks, places that just feel good to be in that are super dog friendly

Scotland folk, do your thing ❤️
