🐴❤️ Horsey parents… once they've caught the bug, there's no going back! 😂🐎
It all started with a pony party for Melody's 5th birthday… and she's been horse mad ever since! ❤️
The last few months have been quite the adventure! We attended our first Horse of the Year in Birmingham and loved sharing Melody's passion. 🐴✨
She's also been competing in the Havana Shows league, and to our absolute shock and delight, finished JOINT FIRST! 🏆🥹 We couldn't be prouder!
❤️ A special shout-out to Havana Shows! If you're looking for a showing league for your child, we couldn't recommend them enough. Wonderful sportsmanship, encouragement and camaraderie from such a lovely mix of people, young and old. They welcomed us with open arms and made us feel part of the family. 🥰
And horses aren't her only obsession! 🐥 Our gorgeous Brahma chick, Scream, hatched last week and is convinced Melody is her mummy! 😂❤️
Between running Hawthorn Hideaway, looking after our guests and being horsey parents, life is certainly busy!
But watching the joy on Melody's face makes every muddy boot, early morning and freezing day worthwhile. ❤️
Sometimes the best adventures are the ones we experience through our children's eyes. 🥹
🐴 Fellow horsey parents… has your life been completely taken over by ponies too? 😂❤️
