Getting Back On!
09/07/2019So I’ve been recovering from my impromptu dismount at the last show. The bruise was definitely a whopper and did prevent me from being able to wear shorts on the hottest day of the year so far!

Horses have been linked to humans for centuries. We have used them for all manner of tasks, from transport to work, to war. But where do they come from? How has their use changed over the years? And how can we protect these great animals for the future?
From giant shire horses to tiny Shetland ponies, horses come in all shapes and sizes. There are so many different breeds to choose from, there’s practically a perfect pony for everybody! So if you’re just about to embark on your search for the ideal equine companion, you’ll need to do some serious reading. You need to research up on their health needs, how to care for them, what horse insurance you need to buy and so on.
I’m pleased to say I was well enough to take the old gal out for her first jumping event this year! She did not disappoint, although hesitant and nervous once in the arena she listened and trusted me, jumping nicely round the courses.
THE NOT-SO-SECRET DIARY OF DIVA THE SHETLAND PONY
Part 7: The Shetland Pony Effect
Wednesday 19th June – Sunday 23rd June 2019
All England Jumping Showground, Hickstead
The Hickstead Derby Meet was an exceptional event for Equesure to attend and exhibit at, so much so that we’re already starting to plan for next year!
Horse riding naturally appeals to many people, as it’s the perfect hobby for animal and nature lovers alike. You will develop an indescribable bond with a spectacular creature, and in doing so it will bring both of you many benefits; both physical and mental.
Just a quick introduction about us, what we have done, and where we plan to be!
The things we do for our horses!
I managed to injure myself just after the last update – can’t fathom how but on awakening one morning I had severe pain in my shoulder blades (non-horse related I may add).
