S2 #10 The Year of the Horse; Reflections, Resolutions & a New Chapter for EMC | Equestrian Mums Club
You don’t always choose when life asks you to slow down...
Sometimes it taps you politely, sometimes it kicks the stable door in. And this episode? It’s very much about listening when it does.
As we step into a new year at the Equestrian Mums Club, this catch-up is a gentle reset. A chat about family firsts, shifting priorities, and why taking a step back can sometimes be the most positive step forward. There’s laughter (because parenting without humour is a losing game), reflections on health hiccups that led to unexpected productivity, and the familiar juggle of work, horses, children and everything in between.
📷 "I feel like I could be more rested!"
Katie & Sophie catch up on the festive period, New Year & the ‘consequences’ of London International Horse Show.
We talk about the quiet magic of the bond between a pony and their person, the joy found in small, ordinary moments, and why planning fun - not perfection - might be the real secret to surviving family life. It’s also a moment of honesty about change: how communities evolve, how seasons shift, and why the Equestrian Mums Club was always meant to be bigger than any one voice.
At its heart, this episode is about choosing joy where you can, protecting your wellbeing where it matters, and remembering that none of us are doing this alone; even when it feels that way.
If you’re listening from the yard, on the school run, or hiding somewhere quiet with a lukewarm cup of tea, we hope this episode feels like a friendly arm round the shoulder. We’re all just figuring it out as we go.
