Sammi's Story...
Horses have been a major part of my life since I was 3. As well as taking care of my own amazing and mischievous herd I work with local rescue centres, it's often heartbreaking seeing the state they come in, but with lots of tending to, love, time and patience I am to bring them up to full health, back them and find forever homes.
Here are before and after pictures of Sammi, a 2 year old cob who cam in skin and bones and riddled with lice. He is now so incredibly friendly and gaining in confidence each day. I plan to back him in Spring next year if all goes well. I fell in love with him the moment I met him so he'll be staying with me on my yard as his forever home.
Check our Maxine's Facebook page - Confidence Boost Equine Rescue to see the incredible work she does, with the help of fundraising.
Here are some pictures of Sammi arriving at the yard:

I can say I’ve been able to tick something off my bucket list now: I managed to mount and ride a camel – a brilliant experience. I had great fun grooming my one, named Baxter, and I think the people running it were happy they had people that were used to dealing with big animals and weren’t afraid to get stuck in.
I thought in this first blog post I ought to tell you a little bit about my horses and me, and give you an insight into what you might see from us going forwards. Firstly, my name is Emma. I’m 29 years old and I’ve been riding for as long as I can even remember.
I am currently lightly backing my three-year-old American Quarter Horse before turning him away for the winter. In my previous post, I explained the setbacks this year, and frustratingly I had to start the process much later in the year than I’d anticipated. But things were going well, too well…
