Welcome to EquistoryNI – a personal equestrian blog documenting my horses, different adventures we go on, and the beautiful countryside that makes Northern Ireland so special.
Whether you’re a lifelong horse owner, a weekend rider, or simply someone who enjoys life around the yard, I hope that EquistoryNI can bring together honest stories, practical advice and real experiences from everyday equestrian life.
From schooling sessions and competitions to horse care, stable management, farming and behind-the-scenes moments, this is a place to share the journey – both the successes and the lessons learned along the way.
What You’ll Find Here
Horse Care
Practical tips and advice covering horse health, stable management, feeding, grooming, seasonal care and everyday wellbeing to help owners provide the very best for their horses.
Riding & Training
Follow training journeys, riding experiences and competition preparation, alongside reflections on improving both horse and rider through patience, consistency and good horsemanship.
Competition Life
Discover reports from local shows and events across Northern Ireland, including showjumping, showing and other equestrian competitions, with honest insights into the highs and lows that every rider experiences.
Life Around the Yard
The best memories often happen away from the competition arena. Read stories from the stable yard, meet the horses behind the blog and enjoy the everyday moments that make equestrian life so rewarding.
Farming & Country Living
Growing up around the countryside brings horses and farming together. Explore articles celebrating rural life, agriculture and the traditions that shape Northern Irelands equestrian community.
Why EquistoryNI?
EquistoryNI was created to tell authentic stories from my own experiences – to allow reflection on life through the ears (and years).
There are no perfect horses and no perfect riders – only genuine experiences, lifelong learning and a passion for horses. Every article is written from personal experience, with the aim of informing, encouraging and connecting with others who understand the unique lifestyle that comes with owning and riding horses.
Whether you’re looking for practical advice, competition inspiration or simply enjoy reading about life with horses, there’s something here for every equestrian.
Join the Journey
Thank you for visiting EquistoryNI. I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I’ve enjoyed living them – because every horse has a story—and this is where we tell them.
