Hi everyone, my names Tayah and I’m delighted to be apart of Tottie this year as one of their #Select17 girls! I’m 19 years old and am currently based in the South Leicestershire area where I live and work. Horses are a huge part of my life and I have been riding since I was 8 years old, I currently have a beautiful gypsy cob mare called Arabella who I’ve had for the best part of 2 years now. We are mostly just happy hackers but this year we are hoping to get out and about a little bit and try our hand (and hoof) at showing.

  

Life with Arabella is pretty simple. She is a very low maintenance horse who requires the bare minimum in order to keep her happy. Arabella is what you would call a “good doer” in the horsey world; she keeps her weight well, she doesn’t get fizzy if you leave her for weeks without work and she’s more than happy to live in the field without being touched!

When it comes to owning horses, it is completely natural to have our “bad” days. Whether its an unsuccessful ride, an uncooperative horse or you’re simply just not feeling those horsey vibes- its to be expected and its ok! But what happens when it goes beyond a single bad ride and your “bad” day becomes a bad week? What do you do when the doubt starts to creep in and change the way you both view yourself and your horse? Can you really just “keep calm and carry on”?  Well, in all honestly, that’s completely down to you!
