We had frost in the valley this morning! It’s the closest we’ll ever get to a white Christmas so here’s a horse in a red hat and winter roses to add to the festivities 🥳😊 Wishing you all happiness and thank you for your presence here. Hope to see you present in Portugal in 2026 🦄🩷

Samson has become quite the escape artist recently, finding the most obscure places to slip through the fence that take us days to find. And every time Matte repairs the fence with a “That’ll fix him” Sam smiles discreetly and finds another spot. And then Q, Sam’s faithful consort, started joining him on these night forays.

Now, Q is a proper lady, a very well-bred registered Quarter horse, who grew up with stables and things till she was 4 or 5. She’s always had an eyebrow raised at the lifestyle I dragged her into. If she was a person she’d be a hardworking business woman with her eye on the clock and perfectly manicured nails. She actually gets a bit stressed if we don’t get down to let her in quickly enough, and you can see her tapping her wristwatch, “What time do you call this!”.

Sam on the other hand grew up semi-feral, in the Golan Heights, and is always half a step away from giving up on civilised life. He is perfectly capable of taking care of his own survival thank you, and yes, you people are handy and I enjoy the carrots etc, but not essential…. So if we don’t get to him in a timely fashion he will just go look for his own way in, crossing ditches, clambering over rock walls, arriving happily home at the back gate, via lord knows where.

It’s not a big deal when the horses wander from time to time. We are surrounded by scrubland and oak trees, not agricultural land, so no harm done. There are no close neighbours or vehicles, let alone busy roads, and honestly, I quite like it that they go explore and get some good grasses. They don’t go far (usually!) and mostly it’s one or two at a time. In the morning they summon us with loud whinnies to come and open the gate and trot up to join the others waiting for breakfast.

So we have always played the game, they get out, we fix the fence, and they respect that until the next time 🙂 But I am a little bit worried that now Sam has got a taste for the nightlife, he has changed the rules of the game and sees finding new sneaky escape routes as a fun way to give us a challenge.

It makes me laugh, I love horses who think for themselves. Although I’m not the one who has to walk the fence, looking for clues as to where the hell….! So what do you say Matte? Game on? Do you think you’ve fixed it now? I guess we’ll see tomorrow.
(Don’t tell Matte I’m rooting for Sam haha)

I have to confess, I am not completely enjoying the winter this year! 😡
And although I like to paint a rosy picture of life on the farm sometimes it’s good to have a little grumble, you have been warned!

Normally, winter is a pleasant relief after the heat and dryness, most days are bright and sunny with a pleasant chill behind them, and then a few days of rain with warmer weather, rinse, repeat. But this year, darn weather is both cold and wet and I’m feeling aggrieved!

Yes, yes rain is good for the land etc and I try not to wish it away but it just gets in the way of doing stuff that needs to be done, like cleaning shrubs or mowing pastures, and the horses are wet and scruffy, and the dogs spread mud everywhere… 🐾

The trials of rustic living, which of course I wouldn’t change for the cleanest house in suburbia, but I just had to get it off my chest and share the less than blissful reality that this can sometimes be….if you’re still with me thank you for listening 🙂

And finally here we are, solstice time, that wonderful deep sinking feeling that comes at the pit of the year. A moment to reflect and renew and enjoy the restful darkness before the sun starts pulling us back towards the light.

If you can, over the next few days spend as much time as you possible in stillness, connecting with your interiority and the rustling underlife of winter. Preferably cosied up next to a fire or watching the planets turn in the night sky, and wait for the coming transition. 2026 is the Year of the Horse, so it’s bound to be spectacular 😄

Stop, breathe, expand, let your nervous system reset, enjoy hanging out with our tranquil horse herd and take a break from the busy-ness of the world 😌

Hi everybody, how have you been? Have you missed us? Or did you not notice our long radio silence 😊

Yup, the river of life has been flowing along so fast the last couple of months we haven’t had time for the virtual world. But it seems that we’ve reached calmer waters, so time for a catch up.

Last time we posted everything was still dry as a bone and we were wondering if the rain would ever come. Well, it did, and then some, so we’re back to a green landscape. We’ve been catching the tail end of storm Bram the last couple of days so I’m trying hard not to wish the wet weather away and instead counting our blessings in raindrops 🌧️

A bad weather makes it the perfect time for reviewing the year and setting intentions for the next one, sitting cozy around the fire

In fact, on that point , we would love to hear your feedback. If you’ve been a visitor or bought any of our products, we would love to hear what you love, what we could do better, and what you would like to see more of.
Enjoy the pics, just a bit of a photo dumb 😊

Just ran across this blog post as we were upgrading the website. It explains a little more about me and my horse story, you might enjoy :) While you're there have a look around the site and let us know if you spot any errors, it's just been made live today.

My partner and I were talking recently about my special touch with horses. It’s not the first time it’s been […]

Hi everyone, not too late to join us on our second Autumn workshop, The Nature of Horses (earlier one no longer available)

Would you like to know more about the nature of horses and how you can help them thrive, body, mind and soul? Sign up now to be sure you have a spot. 4 residential spots, 4 non-residential. It will be a very special meeting 😌

The Nature of Horses: 26th-30th October 2025

The OtE herd invites you to meet horses on their terms, in their own environment, an experience that empowers horses and humans. They are inviting you to join them to learn about them, yourself, and what they really need

Your human guide into this world is Nayana, who has spent a lifetime figuring out how to provide horses the best of nature AND nurture.
Over the Edge Farm is her ultimate classroom on the subject and she loves to share her learnings with others who are looking for ways to better serve Horse.

Some subjects we will touch on include:
🔸Understanding their true native language, and how you can speak it
🔸How to be the person they want you to be and fulfill your potential
🔸How, why and when to use essential oils and herbs, nature's medicine
🔸How to minimise stress in a horse's life and create a NaturePlus environment, no matter where you live,
🔸How to enhance your intuitive sense and subtle communication with all beings with the help of the horses

There is no tight schedule, what happens day to day will be guided by the rhythm of the herd and the interests of the group, with plenty of time for enjoying the special ambience at Over the Edge 🥰

If you want to extend your stay beyond the days mentioned dm us to enquire

So who’s going to come and hang out with me and the herd? 🤔

As we drift in to late summer everything feels slow, we are resting in the moment, like the ocean as the tide turns 🌊

The big heat has passed, the air is fresh and the horses coats are changing, any minute now they’ll be fluffy again. In this pause between seasons there is a magic, they wander around in a leisurely fashion satisfied with life

But we can feel the next season creeping up on us with all its new adventures and there is an edge of excitement to see what (and who) it will bring our way. Will it be you? 😌
