We do the job because we love it, winter is never easy 🥶☃️❄️
I’m very lucky to have amazing clients who always offer me ☕️🫖 it is always appreciated 🥰

Day 5 – Look after your crew! 🧣💙

Cold mornings, wet weather and long days on the yard can take their toll. When you're busy looking after the horses, it's easy to forget about looking after yourself, too!

❄️ Give yourself and your fellow grooms a little extra care this winter:

✔️ Make the most of breaks in a warm, dry space, and enjoy a hot drink when you can.

✔️ Make sure you've got suitable waterproofs and warm layers for those unpredictable yard days. 🌧️

✔️ Take regular breaks from the cold and wet where possible, particularly during long outdoor jobs.

✔️ Check in with your teammates. If someone is struggling with the workload or the weather, a little support can go a long way.

✔️ Remember that tiredness, cold hands and uncomfortable conditions can affect concentration. Take a moment to warm up, regroup and work safely.

✔️ Don't forget your own wellbeing! Staying hydrated, eating properly and getting enough rest all help you keep going through the busy winter months.

🧤 Need to refresh your winter kit? BGA members can enjoy benefits from our supporters, including Treehouse Sporting Colours and Cuddlr. 💙

A great yard isn't just about the horses; it's about the people who care for them, too. Looking after each other helps keep everyone happier, healthier and safer.

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day

🐴 We all know how much horses can mean to us, but spending time with them can also have a positive impact on our mental wellbeing, helping us to:
💚 Reduce stress and anxiety
💚 Enjoy time outdoors and stay active
💚 Build confidence and a sense of achievement
💚 Find friendship, connection and a sense of belonging

Discover more about the benefits of horses and eventing for our mental wellbeing in our BE Prepared article:

Everyone’s experience of mental health is different. By making space for honest conversations, listening without judgement and supporting one another, we can help create a community where no one feels they have to face difficult times alone.

Remember, if you're struggling, support is available. The British Eventing Support Trust provides confidential mental health support to eligible BE competing members, including a 24/7 helpline and professional counselling, as well as guidance and signposting for those who may not qualify.

Sadly this only means one thing for us horsey people, the dark is incoming 🫣🙄

While the autumn equinox has now passed, today brings something a little different, the equilux. 🌖

That's when day and night are as close to equal length as they get, with sunrise and sunset around 12 hours apart.

Stay vigilant with your horses, I’ve have seen fly strike on horses, so don’t think it won’t happen 🥺🪰

Happy Summer Solstice 😎
It’s going to be a hot week with the sun up high, and long days of sunshine.
Make the most of it equestrians. As next week we’ll notice the days getting shorter 😬🫣

Anyone is welcome in my circle 🥰🫶🏻🦄

One thing I genuinely love about the horse world…
is when people choose community over competition. 🤍🐴

Because there’s room for all of us.

Room for the nervous rider doing their first test.
Room for the person aiming for the tickets
Room for the happy hacker.
Room for the ones rebuilding confidence after a fall.
Room for the riders just trying to survive winter and afford sacred hay 🤣

The best yards, teams and friendships aren’t built on jealousy.
They’re built on:
✨ “you did amazing today”
✨ “need a hand?”
✨ “I’ve got a spare”
✨ cheering for someone else like it happened to you

Horse people know life can be hard enough already.

So be the person who claps when others shine.
The person who fixes crowns, straightens number bibs, lends gloves, holds horses and hypes people up at the gate. 🫶

Because supportive people create safe spaces… and safe spaces change people.
