#20 Living with horses, babies & loss | Chat with Cheryl Dollery


Listen Later

Life has many twists and turns, ups and down - and as equestrians and parents, we can sometimes think that perhaps we experience a few more than the average Joe(lle)! It's not an 'easy' life to begin with - but many of our fellow equestrians are also privately facing trials and tribulations we may know very little about...


In this episode, we got to speak to an "everyday equestrian mum", Cheryl Dollery, about her experiences so far... From living with two hilarious Highland ponies and a growing family, to losing a baby girl with ⁠Patau's Syndrome⁠ and a troublesome newborn stage with her gorgeous little boy, Theo.


In her own words, Cheryl tells us more about;

  • Native pony chuckles and capers (inc. Highland pony and Welsh Section D quirks!)
  • How her Highland ponies fit into everyday family life
  • Her little boy, Theo, and his rocky start to newborn life
  • How losing a baby girl with Patau's Syndrome (a genetic chromosome disorder) has affected her life
  • How you learn to live with grief as time passes
  • Plus, much more.


    We were so grateful to Cheryl for generously sharing her experiences with us, so hope you can take some strength and inspiration from this episode.


    Please note: Some of the topics we discuss in this episode some listeners may find challenging - including baby loss and grief. We advise listener discretion.
