Enjoy some very special pics 💕🐎
In these photos you can’t see the insurmountable value of having a circle. A dependable, supportive, understanding, no-questions-asked circle of people. Something I never expected Hillview to give me or my family was the most incredible village.
I hold close to my heart the clients and team who work their butts off, in and out of the saddle, laugh along the way and happily take Eloise under their wing. To me they are more than just a client or a staff member.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to run a successful business, especially one with horses, and enjoy the journey along the way.
A few special people pictured…
Lou and Val. After a significant injury, months of treatment and rehabilitation, and a time when we weren’t sure Val would recover, seeing these two thriving is extra special. Lou’s dedication is something I admire enormously.
Luka and Imogen. Both working full-time in demanding roles at Scone Equine Hospital, yet still working casually for me. Incredibly diligent, hardworking girls who bring laughter, happiness and wonderful attention to detail to our farm. And who I genuinely trust with Eloise at any time doing anything.
Angela. Letty’s wonderful owner, who I couldn’t imagine not meeting 18 months ago. Life would be so strange without Angela and Letty in it! A friendship I treasure.
Bayley and Dad. Two incredible men who support me endlessly and make it possible to do what I love. Neither gets enough credit for everything behind the scenes. Eloise and I are so lucky.
And Kate of KJD Media. , always behind the lens capturing these memories but rarely in the photos herself. Such a huge part of our circle and my confidant. ❤️
The older I get, the more I realise success isn’t just about the horses, ribbons or business. It’s about the people, the laughter on the long days and the memories our children grow up surrounded by.
A full weekend competition wrap-up is coming, but first, an appreciation for the people who make the everyday moments so special.
The horses brought us together, but the people make it all worthwhile. ❤️
