Most people try to give parenting or horse advice, that comes from a genuine place. And, a lot of the time... we can often ask for it. However, some of the time we don’t ask for it... and get it anyway!

In this episode, we discuss ways in which we can pick out the good from the bad (and politely ignore the unsolicited) - without coming across as ‘my way or the highway’. 

Expect to hear from our own experiences, as we muddle our way through motherhood and horse ownership - as well as some of the experiences shared by our listeners.

We often marvel at mothers who take on careers alongside parenting... but there's jobs, and then there's elite-level sport...

In this episode, we were blessed to have an glimpse into how one superwoman makes it all work - Olympic medallist, international dressage rider, Laura Tomlinson.

Laura has competed at the World Equestrian Games, the European Championships, 2x Olympic Games and a vast number of other high profile shows throughout her career. She was part of the gold medal-winning team at the London 2012 Olympics and also took home an individual bronze medal with her Danish Warmblood, Mistral Højris (Alf). Incredibly, she was also appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2013 New Year Honours for services to equestrianism.

We sit down and get to know Laura over a cup of tea - as she gives us all a rare glimpse into what life is really like as an elite athlete and as an equestrian mum of four (wow!).

Join us and listen in, as we find out more about:

Plus, much much more.

We hope you enjoy!

Early mornings, late nights, plenty of laughs... and plenty of tears, too! Endless tidying, feeding, bathing and poo (lots and lots of that). Does having horses prepare you for parenthood? We're fairly certain there's at least a little overlap!

In this episode, we're talking about some of the similarities we've found between parenting and keeping horses, so far - and some of them are maybe a little different than you'd expect.

Laugh along with us as we compare notes on what having horses and kids is really like...
