Good morning!
Good morning!
Here's a picture of me doing my favourite thing: horse riding!
The thing I work for, all day, every day.
The horse is my mare, Zuca, a beautiful Lusitano.
It has taken almost half a year for me to get in the saddle for the first time.
First there was never ending rain falls - like the country hasn't seen in a hundred years!
Then the foal came. She's still there, but big enough to wait outside the round pen for mummy to come back.
And finally I had to source a fitting saddle, crucial to success.
If you spell the words “absolutely nothing”backwards, you get “Gnihton yletulosba”,
which ironically means absolutely nothing.
Good morning!
Drizzle in the air, grey skies above - We ease back into motion.
Liberty with Jazzy, beneath the rain's soft rhythm.
Meet the guinea pigs!

Meet the children
Found someone to take the noseband off!
Yay!
Do we have a picture editor in here?
Chatgpt created this image for me, and despite very clear instructions from the start, it's incapable of doing a minor edit.
The detail: the noseband on the bridle needs to be removed
If any of you tech talents could do this for me, I'll gladly send some sats your way.
Good morning! Be real!
I had a nightly visitor last night, a Genet found its way onto our terrace, but our brave cat chased it away.
Good morning!
Helen Mirren once said:
Before you argue with someone, ask yourself if that person is even mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective. Because if not, there’s absolutely no point.
Not every debate is worth your energy. Sometimes, no matter how clearly you express yourself, the other person isn't listening to understand — they're listening to react. They’re locked inside their own beliefs, unwilling to even consider another point of view. Engaging with them only drains you.
That’s the difference between a meaningful conversation and a pointless argument.
Talking to someone open to growth and understanding can be enlightening — even if you don’t agree. But trying to reason with someone who refuses to see beyond their own convictions? It’s like talking to a brick wall. No amount of logic or truth will reach them — not because you’re wrong, but because they’re unwilling to see anything else.
Maturity isn't about winning arguments. It’s about recognizing when the argument just isn’t worth it. It’s choosing peace over proving a point to someone who’s already decided not to change their mind.
You don’t have to fight every battle. You don’t owe everyone an explanation.
Sometimes, the strongest thing you can do is walk away — not because you have nothing to say, but because you know they’re not ready to listen. And that’s not your burden to carry.
THE HORSEMAN'S PLEDGE
I will never forget that our relationship was my choice and not yours.
Because this relationship is of my doing I will take responsibility for how it evolves through through my leadership.
If I am unsatisfied with your performance or attitude I will not blame you or those who have handled you in your past.
I will look to myself to find better ways to communicate my desires and expectations in ways that you can accept and do not rob you of your dignity or spirit.
I will remember that your nature is not the same as mine .
Realizing this I will do my best to work together through your nature, not break you to mine.
I will do my best to protect you and not betray your trust by setting you up to fail through lack of preparation .
I will not expect you to be what I can not find in myself to be.
If you are not confident, precise , consistent or happy, I know I must find these things in myself first.
I will try to be aware of you and do everything in my power to be the kind of leader that I would want to follow.
I will value you and try not to take advantage of your good nature and willingness.
I will not risk your physical or mental well being with shortsightedness or for quick personal gains.
I will always strive to improve myself to be the best for you I can possibly be.
I will put your needs and well being above my expectations and desires.
