welcome winnie

Wow, its nearly been eight weeks since I’ve touched down in this blog-sphere. It’s fair to say I’ve got a valid excuse for the lack of posts. We welcomed our gorgeous daughter, Winifred, known to us as Winnie, into the world on September 26. Winnie has us all tangled up in love and makes us gasp […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. photo caption: We’re trialling a shetland pony for Finn at the moment. This photo is of Finn on Minty (previously called Gally) who was determined to go over the ‘pink’ jumps – fortunately Minty was a willing participant. Finn was very nonchalant about the entire […]

In limbo

So I officially started maternity leave as of Monday this week from salt magazine – my other business that I run with my father. Come to think of it, I haven’t talked about it much on this here blog space. No particular reason really, I started the lifestyle magazine which is based on the sublime […]

As I sit here the size of a mini-bus (35 weeks pregnant), feeling dreary from a head cold this image transports me. It was taken on the Maasai Mara ride in Kenya and in a couple of days I’ve got three clients who will start this adrenalin-packed ride. I’m not going to lie, I wish I was going with them.

This image was taken on our British Colombia ride in Canada of the head guide Josh. It took us a good four hours on horseback to reach this vista. We spent a lazy lunch soaked in sun, eating food out of saddle bags while the horses snoozed in the shade.

Mongolia – The Final Frontier

I have a tribe of globetrotters travelling to Mongolia in August, some have been before and others it’s their first time. Safe to say, I love organising their trips and I would be lying if I didn’t mention I’m a shade of green that I’m not accompanying them – especially in my rotund state! They […]

GoPro-ing On Horseback

For many years now, years Buster and I have been GoPro-ing our Globetrotting adventures to add another dimension to our videography and we love it. When our clients are considering a riding adventure, video footage makes it a lot easier for them to get a feel for the landscape, pace and horses. GoPros offer an […]

My dreams have been peppered with jumping fallen logs in faraway lands at the moment. So when I stumbled across this quote on Pinterest, I couldn’t help myself! Buster took this photo when we were riding in Patagonia, Chile.

The Almighty Polo Swing

I’m the first to admit that I’m an awful spectator when it comes to watching a sport I love. At 27 weeks pregnant I’ve been pushed to the sideline for the current polo season. On Sunday I found myself in attendance at our home polo field on the banks of the mighty Mary River to […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. Every fourth Sunday of the month in Nambour, we have the Little Steam Trains that chug around a leafy bush track, under bridges and alongside a creek. This is the second time we’ve been and Finn loves it. This Sunday she got to […]

Days Like These

I’ve been feeling quite distant from this blog of late and I guess the reason is I’m not actively globetrotting at the moment. I’m curious, have you ever had a time in your life where horses have been out of reach? I’ve had brief episodes in my life where my connection with equines has lapsed […]

Feeling Beige

Six weeks has gone and this blog post has been a vacant space with tumble weeds passing through its virtual pages. To be completely honest, I haven’t posted of late because I’ve been feeling beige, some may describe it as ‘meh.’ As if I’ve been walking through a thick fog and have no idea when […]

Our Globetrotter Is Learning To Ride

Can you remember the first time you rode a horse? Pictured above is an aged, curled cornered photo of me astride our hefty, chestnut racehorse called Oakley aged 4 with my sister, Amanda (at the front). My brother, sister and I were the fortunate ones to be born into a horse-loving family. My father has […]
