#187 The Journey to Ed: How One Horse Changed Everything for @edthedun


Listen Later


Today, I’m chatting with Lorraine Cribben, better known as @edthedun on Instagram. Lorraine is a veterinary nurse, an equine photographer, and an equestrian influencer who has built a strong community around her journey with her horse, Ed.

We talk about:

  • How she got into equine photography and how balancing two jobs doesn’t feel like work when you love what you do
  • Setting up her Instagram page just after she got Ed and being surprised by how quickly it took off
  • The surreal feeling of being recognised as “someone from Instagram”

Then, we dive into Ed—how Lorraine nearly missed out on him but, thanks to a bit of fate, he ended up being hers. She shares:

  • What it was like bringing him home for the first time
  • The different things they’ve tried together, including giving polo a go
  • Why he’s currently on holidays and the challenges of winter riding
  • The process of bringing a horse back to fitness after a break

We also chat about the importance of having a solid support system—whether you’re competing or just riding for fun.

Lorraine shares her plans for both Ed’s future and her Instagram page, including an exciting giveaway coming up soon!
