I’ve written before about Buster and my rural upbringing where Buster was brought up on a farming property near Nindigully and I on a cotton property near Dalby. My childhood memories are as sweet-as-honey: swimming in the tea-stained dam (peddling your legs like a duck to prevent the leaches from latching); fire and brimstone storms reaching across the sky; feeding our poddy […]

The first time I discovered Angus Barrett Saddlery was at the Warwick camp draft where we both had trade stands. His leatherwork is a breath of fresh air in a market that is saturated with poor quality, imported tack. Angus takes great pride in his work to the point of being fastidious. His leather is sourced at […]

So after six months of pregnancy (click here, to read my thoughts on riding when pregnant) and seven weeks since welcoming Winnie into the world, I managed to squeeze in a couple of rides last week. Strangely, I was a little anxious about riding, post-partem, even though I’ve been there before with our Finn. I don’t know where  the […]

I’m so very excited about our competition that we’ve recently launched via Facebook in accordance with our attendance to Equitana Melbourne this year. {insert drum roll} Our partners in Mongolia have been super generous in offering a 19-day horse riding holiday to a remote region known as Khovsgol in Mongolia. For me, Mongolia is the final […]

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 […]

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 […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. photo caption: A cheeky smile while munching on a zucchini, chocolate brownie at a new eatery in the main street of Buderim – The Shack. My heart shadows.

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.

This image was captured by Astrid Harrisson on our Sierra Chica ride in Argentina.

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. photo caption: This is our little globetrotter as of yesterday. Her grandmother brought the South American inspired cardigan back from a recent trip to the USA. She loves wearing her hoodie. Here she is putting lawn clippings in her toy pram. Every afternoon, […]

A portrait of my daughter, once a week, every week, in 2014. photo caption: Here is a pic of our little globetrotter with her papa at our local agricultural show in Maleny. The show always falls at the end of May and it always rains so that fair-goers are never without a pair of gum boots […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

I whole heartedly believe in this quote. Travelling is the university of life.

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 […]

This image was captured on our honeymoon on the Namib desert ride, Namibia.
