“Woohoo the clocks have changed… it’s not winter anymore”

The yard this morning: grey.
just… aggressively grey.

Not winter.
Not spring.
Just vibes and damp.

Horses:

still hairy
still muddy
Just more zoomies

Field:

Not frozen anymore
Not dry
just that weird squidgy middle ground where your boot stays on but it isnt croc ready.

Me, like an absolute mug: “longer evenings though 😌✨”

Also me, 12 minutes later: being sandblasted by sideways rain and hail (?!) while holding a headcollar and questioning every life choice that led here.

The only thing that’s actually changed is:

– I’m now tired at a different time
– the horses still want feeding at their time
– and I somehow look worse in natural daylight

British spring is just winter with better PR.

TW - Pregnancy ⚠️.

Ok strap in guys this is a LONG one.

So I am sure many of you know mine and Jed A. Mclean 's long infertility journey . Over almost 6 years we have had multiple miscarriages , ectopic pregnancy , unknown location implantations , failed IVF. It felt like we had won like a really terrible game of BINGO on the how many types of loss can you have game.

When we had our round of IVF in 2023 we were told it was total fertilisation failure which would most likely be due to egg quality , even though they got 5 little eggies. We had loads of tests and on consultation the clinic told us that donor egg round would be the way forward - which was 16k. Wild.

Me and Jed were lucky enough to have such a supportive group of friends who helped us raise some money towards this but we decided that it just wasnt a route we wanted to go down , so I used the money and booked in at Harley Street Fertility Clinic and was recommended red light laser therapy and a procedure to increase blood flow and help egg quality.

After this I had another miscarriage ( chemical... BINGO CARD STAMP ) and then we spent the longest time processing , grieving and working out what our life would look like without children. We worked HARD to get to a point where babies and pregnant people were not immediately triggering.

I've lost old friends and made new ones along the journey because no one truly understands the loss and grief of infertility unless you have traversed it and that is something I truly believe.

So fast forward almost 3 years and I thought lets have a foal , if we can't have a human baby I'll live vicariously through my horse , who wouldn't!

So I bought a broodmare , chose a stallion and the little / medium bundle with 4 legs is due in a month. Absolutely grand. So exciting. 🐎

Well ...... the universe decided it had other plans. Thanks universe for the heads up.

So I have written this post to announce this piece of news tentatively and also scream for advice and help simultaneously.. .

Here's to Baby Rainbow McLean due September 2026. Yes a real actual human baby.....

Behold : Baby 👶.

And secondly how did people manage their horses on maternity pay because I feel I'm going to have to make a very tricky choice on a foal I've just bred! So any ideas would be grand.

From a very anxious , nauseous , exhausted and also extremely blown away human growing a little miracle 🌈

Also to note thanks to my mum who has been a rock so far in every single time I have a daily mental breakdown at the moment over herbs , horses and humans , she's made me laugh.

Also as we have had NO time to prepare for maternity leave as this has been as far from planned a possibly. Yes I am using this as shameless plug for some support .... please check out my workbooks over at www.equimotional.com/shop.

We received a copy of the new book 'When Dora Met Her Feelings' from Equimotional today, and we’re looking forward to reading it. 📚✨

We think it could work really well alongside our Equines & Emotions programme, and the illustrations will be fantastic inspiration when designing our own Animotions. 🐴💭🎨 (The Anger Pony reminds us of the Anger Pony one of our previous students created!)

We’re looking forward to seeing where creativity, ideas, and emotional storytelling take our learners. 💛

Right.

I have been hailed on.
I have been rained on.
I got slightly sunburnt… in the SAME DAY.
And now it’s snowing.

Snowing.

It’s nearly April. I had mentally packed away my will to survive winter. I was ready for light evenings and to enjoy being outdoors again.

Instead I’ve just watched my fence try to leave the property in 40mph winds and honestly… fair enough. I’d leave too.

I don’t know what season we’re in.
I don’t know what coat to wear.
I don’t even know who I am anymore.

If you see me stood in the field in sunglasses, a winter coat, and emotional distress… just mind your business.

Hi everyone 👋

Just popping this here as a follow on from my last post about the workbook distributors.

I’ve put together a proper information document because I realised it’s quite hard to explain it all in one Facebook post without it getting confusing.

You can read it here:
👉 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GTlGiEgTpZZlOG2DQn0cK0OMsZHPprhT/view?usp=drivesdk

It explains how it works, what you can and can’t do, and gives some real examples of costs and what people might realistically make from it.

This idea has come from trying to solve a problem that I keep coming up against…

Postage outside the UK is just not sustainable for most people. And I know there are people all over the place who want to use the resources but can’t justify the cost.

So this felt like a way of making things more accessible, while also giving people something they can actually use within their own work and build from over time.

It’s not for everyone, and that’s completely fine.

But if you’ve been following along for a while and thinking
“I could actually use these where I am”

then have a read and just message me if you want to chat it through.

No pressure at all.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m going to say this as it is…

It’s actually really hard being a tiny business trying to reach people all over the world 🌍

No big or small or at all advertising budget.
No fancy campaigns.
Just us , the horses, and a lot of workbooks that seem to be travelling further than we can 🐴📚

So we have been thinking…

Who would be interested in becoming an Equimotional Workbook Distributor in their country?

This would mean:

✨ You’d have resale rights to printed copies of my workbook library and use if them in your sessions (there are currently 16 available)
✨ You print locally and sell within your own setting or country
✨ You keep your profit after printing and postage costs

A few important bits to keep it clear and fair:

📌 Printed copies only (NO PDF resale)
📌 No editing or rebranding
📌 This is NOT a franchise or coaching qualification
📌 There would be an annual licence fee paid via Direct Debit

Most of my workbooks sell between £15–£25 as hard copies.

So just to give a real-life example:

If you sold: – 20 workbooks → that’s roughly £300–£500 – 50 workbooks → £750–£1,250 - 100 workbooks up to £2500.

Even after printing costs, you can see how this could work as a steady income stream alongside your practice 💭

The idea is that it keeps things accessible in your country without the ridiculous UK postage costs… and gives you something you can actually build an income from on top of your work.

Realistically, it’s uncapped income potential depending on how much you use or sell them 💭

I’ll only be taking on 2–5 distributors per country depending on country size and population, because I want this to stay aligned and not turn into a free-for-all.

So… if you’re reading this from outside the UK and thinking
“this could actually work where I am”

Drop a comment saying DISTRIBUTOR or send me a message and tell me a bit about what you do and where you’re based 💬

Thanks x 🐴✨
