On worrying that I am losing my mind.

If real rain was even half as sweet as my Thistledown Red Rain, then it could rain on me all day long. Thanks to Sarah Hayman for the photos - they have made my day - and to @georgie_driver for being a top groom even if she was dying of boredom and won’t be giving up eventing for showing any time soon! #welshsectionb #welshpony #welshponiesofinstagram #perfectpony #showtime #horseshow #equestrianlife #equestrian #horseygirl #countrylife

It’s shaky because I’m hanging out of the bedroom window, but I couldn’t not share the view. G’night y’all! 🧡 #sunsetview #sunsetvibes #countryside #breconbeacons #beautifulview #beautifuldestinations #welshcountryside #visitwales
Just a few pics to prove I did climb a mountain voluntarily again! We made an impromptu decision to piggy-back onto @katraybould and crew’s trip up the #sugarloafmountain It’s yet another weekend where I binned a show schedule! WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?!!! The pandemic and all the cancelled shows of 2020 sure have shone a light on quite how much time I spent obsessing over coats and bellies, trekking here there and everywhere instead of doing ‘normal’ things! Perhaps next weekend I’ll do better and make it to a show! 🤷‍♀️💪 #sugarloaf #breconbeaconsnationalpark #breconbeacons #monmouthshire #countrylife #welshcountryside #welshcountrysideviews
Confession time: Daisy - Haighmoor Prydferth - and I actually came out of semi-retirement from the flats yesterday. She gave me a mega ride in the go-round, pinging her little socks off. I regretted it a few minutes later when she was quite the diva in the latter half of her show. 🥴 In the end, if there was a prize for shiniest - or in fairness, most enthusiastic - pony, we might have stood a chance. As it was...
Betty: It’s a tough life being the cutest yard-guard in all the land. 🧡🧡🧡
I can’t believe that yesterday marked a year in our new home. It’s thrown its fair share of logistical nightmares at us, but overall, I still think it’s one hell of a spot! The weather has been pretty meh, so sharing a pic from the day we moved in instead. #anniversary #newhome #countrylife #countryliving #welshcountryside #breconbeacons #countryviews
Daisy Dolittle: the spiciest pocket-rocket-pony in town! 🧡🧡🧡 @venturesporthorses @katraybould #welshcob #welshsectiond #welshcobsofinstagram #firecracker #equestrianlife #training #pocketrocket #horseygirls #mountainandmoorland
Just posting another photo of Red, Thistledown Red Rain, because the weather is truly awful and she’s such a beauty. But mainly just because I can! #poniesofinstagram #welshpony #welshsectionb #beauty #showpony #equestrianlife #horseylife #ponygirl #countrylife #countryliving
As it’s just four months from today till @rhysmaelgwyn and I say ‘I do’, it was probably high time I started wedding planning again. So me, Mum and the chief bridesmaid tripped to London for a dress fitting. It was so nice to finally meet a dress I chose in 2019!! For the purposes of clarity, I’m pictured here with said bridesmaid, not my mother. #bride #covidbride #covidwedding #dressshopping #cavapoo #doggybridesmaid #cavapoosofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #bestfriends
Ooops! I napped towards home this week! 🙈 Red, Daisy and I went home for a lovely afternoon with Maggie and Mum. Red had a great time hacking round the farm with Dan and Maggie took Daisy to see a few of her new toys. We only stuck to one field and kept it simple because safe to say, Daisy’s eyes were on stalks when she reached the gate, but she soon thought it was a great idea. I keep telling myself I will go showing soon... What has 2020 done to me?! #welshsectiond #welshcob #welshcobsofinstagram #jump #funtimes #ponyfun #horseriding #poniesofinstagram #horseygirl #ponylove #equestrian #equestrianlife #countrylife
