Charle Teton Photography Well, it's been a while since I posted anything - yet again. But no news is good news, right? It certainly is in our case. The lovely Black Beauty is going from strength to strength and has recently turned seven - happy birthday...

Well, I ended up in Wiltshire more by mistake than choice (don't get me started on my ex-boyfriend because that would sound bitter but you can look at previous blogs if you want to get an idea of the journey to where I am today). But I like it here and...

Well, get us! Me and Beauty are now part of a British Dressage Team Quest team! And guess what our team is called? I will give you a clue. The first word is The, the second word is where we live (on the outskirts of Chippenham in Wiltshire) and the third...

Wow, I haven't written about the little black superstar for two years and more! How bad is that? Well, worry no more because we are back to bore you some more. It's post the Rio Olympics and no doubt those who couldn't tune in to the horsey events are...

So Beauty has been in my life for two weeks now and I am learning more from this little mare than I could have ever imagined. Had I blogged four days ago I would be telling you that I am the worst horse trainer in the world and that I am making her worse....
