Dear Lord…how did this happen? 60…wtf? Some say it is a blessing to reach this age, others disagree. I haven’t formed an opinion yet as I am still a young ‘un in this role. I have had a few senior moments this week but I will not let that dampen my […]
Mayday! Mayday! Christmas 2023 in countdown…
Our family motto is: “The holiday starts as soon as we leave the gate and ends when we arrive back at said gate.” So be it with Christmas 2023. Our family holiday at home started when we left the gate to collect Briony on the 9 December and ended when […]
Christmas the Wilde way.
Christmas is a big thing in our home. We celebrate the day by mom working herself to death. Training for this event usually starts in July every year. Six months of preparation that lead up to one glorious day. It’s nearly like a wedding, just better,I swear. This year we […]
The perils of following the youth blindly
Briony is due to arrive in 5 days. Things are crazy busy here as I am trying my best to get the last bookings and business done before the Christmas holiday starts. In between all of this, I have to make a booking for a wax, and this brought up […]

The days are flying by
I can’t watch movies about animals or read books about their life stories and how they came to be. It just makes me so sad. Emotions are always sitting on the surface, waiting to be let loose of their harness and embarrass me, so I try to steer clear of […]
Aboo
Standing in the shower last night I hear a dog howling. Without looking I know exactly who it is. Aboo. We have never been owned by a Great Dane. First time for everything but does he push the boundaries… He entered our lives in a very unassuming way, meant to […]
It’s a busy, busy time.
A hundred years from today nobody will remember me and all the stupid or great things I did. Think about that. With this in mind I ask myself:” Why am I not taking full advantage of living my best life everyday?” Thats why we are going volume 11 this Christmas […]
I need to sage myself.
I have a friend that assists animals with muscular stress release. It is absolutely amazing to witness the techniques that he uses on horses, how the muscles relax under his expert hands and give relief to these huge animals. I had no idea that my horses could be suffering from pain […]
