It's been a crazy week. Lessons on horse digestion, feeding and a horse spa day when it was a little windy, and bundled up when it was a little chilly, but we finished (with the lesson horses) strong with a beautiful sunny morning.
Tomorrow is travel day where we headed out to help.some local people connect with their horses.

We keep lesson appointments even when the weather isnt great (so long as it'ssafe to do so), this teaches true horsemanship.
Horses are still here, needing care, even when it's cold. I can see some true 'horse girls' in the making.
Our older monday group (not pictured) gave the horses a spa day, then learned about equine digestion.

We've been working on some of this lately and have seen a tremendous difference in our horses
We've been busy this past couple of weeks. Hosting a show and a birthday party. Helping people with their horses and playing in puddles. Hitting those milestones and looking fabulous is our matching outfits. Most of all having fun!

For as long as I can remember my passion has been horses. From a young age worked at riding schools and boarding facilities, cleaning out stalls and caring for the horses. I was lucky enough that my Mom also had the love of horses and I cannot remember a time in my life where horses have not been a part of it in some way. I moved to the states from England, (where I completed my education and gained most of my experience) after meeting my husband who is an American.
Over the years I have trained a number of horses and have successfully ridden in local competitions throughout my early to mid 20s. After leaving high-school I went on to college to study Animal care and then onto University in Nottinghamshire (UK), where I completed a Bsc in Equine Sports Science. Along side studying for my degree I also studied to take British Horse Society (BHS) qualifications. I completed and passed the BHS Stage 1 riding and horse care qualifications.
After completing my degree, I went on to become a student support worker in a college, where I provided classroom support to student with additional learning needs. Whilst working as a support worker I attended night-school and gained the qualifications that I needed to become a college teacher. This then lead to me becoming a full time instructor at Barnsley college, Wigfield farm.For five years I taught students from the age of fourteen up to adult, who were studying to get a foundation degree in Animal Care, my main focus being the equine industry.
Throughout my life I have always owned, ridden and trained horses and have had the pleasure of teaching many people horse care and riding lessons. My husband and I bought Merrylegs for our children and she has been a true blessing to have in our family. I am now extremely blessed to have the opportunity to offer my services to the people of the coastal bend, a place which I have come to call home.
