Latest From C F Equine

Since opening my books on the 1st of April, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some truly lovely horses and ponies — all shapes, sizes, colours, quirks, and personalities. Every visit has reminded me why I do this job: to help horses feel comfortable, understood, and supported in the work we ask of them.

I’ve kept firmly to my mantra from day one: saddle fitting should work with your budget, not against it. My role isn’t to sell you the most expensive saddle on the van — it’s to find what genuinely suits your horse, your riding, and your wallet. Welfare first, practicality always.

One unexpected joy of running CF Equine full‑time is having a little bit of my own horse time back. I even managed to take Marley out for a small jump recently. And I’ll be honest… I’m finding it very hard not to let that old competitive itch creep back in. Maybe a tiny bit of fun wouldn’t hurt. Maybe.

For now, I’m just grateful — for the horses I’ve met, the owners who’ve trusted me, and the chance to build this business the right way: quietly, kindly, and with the horse at the centre of every decision.

Here’s to many more miles, not so muddy boots, and happy horses.
