Esme's Country Life

I've just come back from Kentucky - they speak the same language but can do things differently! Had a great time at the three day event, everyone was just so welcoming - so thank you!

So things have changed a bit, just thought I'd let you know what's been going on. Busy week though with lots of photoshoots with the horses, and Joey has been doing some strange things...

Oh dear, it's a bit back to square one with Joey - Duke loses a tooth, catch up with all the horses and ponies in this 'back in the UK' episode

another episode from my USA series where I meet an amazing GP rider, chat about a photoshoot with SKIMS and go out for a bush ride, as well as an embarrassing toilet incident - of course

I have a busy riding week in Ocala Florida, riding Hunter and Equitation at the World Equestrian Centre before then being filmed for TV. And I go shopping, of course.

I've made it to the USA for my first leg of the tour - had an incredible time at Disney and Universal - had some embarrassing moments of course

Weird things happen in public saunas, missing dogs, excited woodpeckers and much more

The podcast is ONE! Happy Birthday 'Esme's Country Life' ! I read out your messages, more embarrassing stories, talk about the start of the podcast and why it came about - thanks for listening!

I asked you on instagram for questions about anything. Some of you asked very strange questions, some of you didn't! A bit of a long chatty one this one.

Lots going on in this weeks episode! Joey gets a clip and shows off his strength by breaking the arena fence - to be fair I did try and do the same with my head in the past - he was more successful with a full on buck. New pets arrive! Listen in to find out all about it

Casper has been going rogue and AWOL recently - maybe him being clipped as made him more adventurous? I also visit Ireland my second home, and learn more about the 26 horses found cramped on a lorry bound for Europe

What could be more fun an orienteering competition run in the middle of nowhere at night - did I get chased by a scary old man shouting at me? Of course I did.

I've done that talking to people in real life thing again! In Germany! But I spoke English. Did I embarrass myself this time?

I've been ill, but the snot disease hasn't stopped me recording a podcast for you lovely people - cottage updates, Joey updates, Casper 10 years and secret meet ups and plans for the USA

Odd things happen when you least expect it - still battling the cold in the UK at the moment! Use code ESME for 60 days free on the BookBeat App!

What on earth! More infestation is going on at the cottage. The horses are fresh in this cold weather and I have another gym fail.

Living on the internet, there are always rumours and lies. But this one! Weird.

Why do things always go wrong on holiday?! Lost suitcase, food poisoning, locked out, skiing for the first time on real snow!

This is even more chaotic than normal, I hope you can take it, but I've got end of the year hysteria and am looking forward to a short break. However I asked you what your 2024 plans were, I share my 2024 plans with USA Tour Spoilers...

In this weeks episode, we talk all things London Horse Show, I have an unhealthy obsession with smells and we discover a hidden secret Pizza Express

It's almost that magical time of year, so I talk about how I'm a weird neighbour, on being a snowflake, and Joey gets to see daylight!

in this weeks ramble... there is the smell of smoke in the air, I travel across the Irish Sea for the fourth time this year, and then head to London, where this horse girl glams up for the night

I'm back with another rambling episode, thanks to so many of you mentioning me in your Spotify Wrapped, and also the support and love from last week's podcast. If you watch YouTube you will know poor Joey is in hospital...still

OK - this is a subject that needs discussing. Why are equestrians so hard on each other? What is the reason for this toxicity. Can we not just stop? WARNING - this podcast is mostly light hearted but does cover topics that some ( including myself ) might find sensitive.

OK in this week's rather random monologue - barefoot shopping in London, as well as a photoshoot on Oxford Street which got tourists excited! A trip to Fairfax & Favor HQ and a report from Your Horse Live!
