Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.

Lately, things have been very draining. Not just horses, but all of the things.

Working with Monty and Luna has been like bashing my head against the wall. Huge improvements in some areas, backward leaps in others. How on earth can one even know whether it’s me, or them, or just me over thinking everything, or the weather, or I’m putting too much expectation on improvement, or it’s moving too slowly for them, or they are just feeling my frustration from everything else…..

So today, with my wonderful sister-in-law holding my hand (not literally) we took them for a stroll in the forest. Just us and the horses, casually strolling along, no expectations, no ‘training’, just a long, relaxing, walking, talking, taking it in, splashing in pebbles, embracing the moment, seeing the wildlife type stroll…

And it was just what we all needed. They both even floated wonderfully.

Onward to a new week!

Enjoy the ambience of horse drawn carriage travel and learn a little about the history of the Langhorne Creek Wine Region. Travel by horse and carriage to taste award winning wines.

For the month of July, we are offering this wonderful experience for a ridiculously low price of $500 for 4 people ($150 pp for any extra people- up to 😎. This is less than half price!!

Why?? Because times are tough. I have a large vet bill coming in, and I need to buy hay. I need cash flow.

Take advantage of this special price by messaging or calling me, it isn’t available to book online. Buy now, and travel before the end of 2025.

Dasher, the gorgeous guide dog, seemed very relaxed while her mum, Jenny drove us around on a hands on experience

These are a really good read!

They align with our business incredibly well, obviously with the exception that our carriages are not on tracks.

I was surprised to hear the tram had issues with people trying to cause them grief. The care these horses receive is above and beyond. Anyone that has working animals knows the way to get the best out of a horse, is to give them the best.

And if your still not convinced animals have a voice, perhaps go back and read my blogs about Boris 😂😅

Finally the next instalment of ‘The Life of Brian’.

This episode, which the footage was from Jan-March shows his introduction to pulling things. It’s just taken me a while to edit it and get it completed…

Brian is such a dude, that it’s so easy to forget that he’s only 2.

Brian's training to become a carriage horse continues, with the introduction of pulling things. He confidently and obediently long reins, is totally chilled ...
