Hello! Ben and I would like to introduce ourselves as the new custodians of Somerset. We are very grateful to be setting up our home in such a beautiful space.🐴🌳🍂
Even as it's getting dry we are lucky to still be connected to town water so we will switch over as soon as needed to make sure the troughs stay full.
We look forward to meeting you and your horses and please introduce yourselves if we see you around 🙂
Do reach out here, or DM us if you need anything, as we learn the ropes!
The first photo is of our little family you will see around.
If you or any friends are needing some more paddocks there are a few free so feel free to reach out.
In the comments is a photo of some gloves I found by the fence of the paddock to the left (as you drive in). I left them by the front fence near the tap if they are yours 😉

Sometimes saddle fit issues are not about the saddle - they're about the horse. And sometimes the issues are starting at ground level.
The postural effects caused by underrun heels (actually caudal hoof failure) richochet right through the body.
One of the worst things we can do is fit a saddle firmly around those narrow withers like a clothes peg. Any chance of redeveloping muscle as the hooves improve (because of course, the horse is receiving remedial hoof care, isn't it?) and the posture normalises is limited unless the horse can move correctly. That means creating space for redevelopment without compromising saddle stability.
Again, it's simply the essence of the issue from a bodyworker's point of view. I'm making no claims to be scientific here, but it's what I've been seeing in over 15 years of bodywork practice.
