Freelance Grooming. The beggining.

-
So why have I started grooming?
To be clear, I have a job, full time 7:30 - 17:00 five days a week.
But having worked this office job since last November I realized that despite being in a better position from most peoples point of view, I was not in a better position for myself. 
I missed the hard work and cold fingers, the satisfaction of turning a woolly mammoth into a well-presented hunter. Or my fluffy little section A into a well-groomed driving pony. 
I also, despite the regular wage I am now on, struggle financially. 
I want a job that I can do as an extra, earning alongside my full-time job, so why not make it my own little business. 
I enjoy doing it, I like seeing horses that I have turned out looking good in whatever it is that they are doing. 
So time to get myself out of my little rut.
Back to the ridiculously early mornings, mucking out and feeding before work, plaiting up manes and leaving horses ready to go hunting. 
I want to go in at night feeling like I have achieved something.
My office job is fine but it doesn't give me a sense of fulfillment.
The horses do. 
To the point where I would like to build this up, make it a career and something that can sustain me instead of just something that provides me with some extra income.
Horses, grooming, and training are something that I am utterly passionate about and I fully intend to follow my dream.
This blog will be a record of my progress.
Tips and tricks that I learn along the way and hopefully a source of inspiration for anyone out there that is considering going into this line of work.
There will also be a website coming up as things progress. 
I am confident that I can make this a success and have signed up for a course in equine sports massage, by next July I should be qualified and have another string to my bow.
This journey is going to be hard, no doubt there will be ups and downs, laughter, tears and times when I just don't want to do it. 

I want to share every second of this with you.
As I groom, Train, Produce and lord knows what else I hope you will get some entertainment and some inspiration out of it. 

See you all in the next post.

Looking after the Golden oldies coming into Winter.

Now that the nights are drawing in and the weather is starting to turn a lot of people will be thinking about winter care for their horses. For me, this is prime time to up the anti for the older horses that are in my care. I will be watching them carefully, judging when to start feeding them, looking for signs of stiffness or them being cold. How is their weight looking? Do they need extra help this year, or do they need help more quickly than they did last year?  I will show you a couple of my examples and see what you think. Case one: Monty. Monty is a 29-year-old section A. Awesome little Palomino dude. No stiffness and a serious personality. What he does struggle with though is his weight. Though he doesn't belong to me I try to keep him on top form for his owners and currently we are struggling a little with maintaining his weight. So steps to get him to a good weight before the winter sets in. 1) Rug. The little guy is always rugged when he is out, in case of sho

The pride factor, Turning a horse out well for someone else.

I was asked a question the other day, and thought the answer might provide a good blog post. "Why do you turn horses out for other people, and then not mind when they take comments about how good their horses look?" Well for me personally, its quite simple.  I get a huge amount of satisfaction from seeing the horses I turn out, out doing their jobs, with the riders looking like they are having the time of their lives.  For me its the best picture in the world and simply the knowledge that I have helped to create that picture is a massive satisfaction for me.  I see some of these horses come in mid week as mud monsters, having had a serious field party. By the time they go out they are immaculate.  Its incredibly rewarding.  For me its not about who takes credit for what is done, almost all of the people I have ever turned out for thank me.   I love hearing that there have been comments made about how smart the horses look, even if that comment has not b

A visit from the dentist! All ready for Winter.

Two of the older ponies down and sorted for the dentist.  And officially ready for the winter.  In fact they are currently out enjoying the last of the autumn grass, with their rugs on. Stella went incredibly well and was all routine so she will only have to be seen once a year unless anything rears its head, luckily this seems highly unlikely. Monty on the other hand, as we predicted, was much worse. Over an hour and half of dental work and he is now on the right track and able to eat properly once again.  He had a hunch about his teeth when he came and as he started to lose condition despite being fed we knew we had to do something.  It won't surprise a lot of you that are used to handling ponies, that little Monty was much more of a challenge than the much larger Stella.  Not that he was naughty, he just didn't appreciate having to deal with things such as dental work at his age. You would be surprised to know how much hard work it is to keep a small ponie
