The Baton of Hope’s inaugural dinner

…revealing the exquisite baton was a great success.

As a passionate campaign partner, Riders Minds celebrated alongside many others. As a semicoloner myself, I hope the baton’s upcoming tour to raise awareness, will evolve into actions and change so there will be more, not less of us; less people thinking suicide is the only way; less people having to deal with tragic loss. 

3 x blown away by The Pony Club!…..

….inviting me to speak on behalf of Riders Minds at their AGM in February 2023 about.

  • The ripple effect when a rider’s mind isn’t at its best, eg on performance, human and equine interaction/relationships, and sometimes equine welfare.

  • How coaches manage a ‘not OK’ rider’s mind and how they manage their wellbeing too.

…..ground-breaking decision to introduce a Riders Minds Achievement Badge, so young and future generations of equestrians will benefit from understanding mental health matters.

….and, asking me to contribute to devising its syllabus!
