Hi guys, we have had lots of comments and requests for more details about the horses we use in our Black Heart Equestrian photoshoots so here’s a bit of an introduction.    Gee Gee has to be first on the list as he is the ‘main man’ of the yard and who Black Heart was named for. He is a 8 year old jet black Dutch warmblood stallion, bred in Holland from a Westpoint stallion and a Florencio mother.  He’s massive and stands around 17.1hh but can feel even bigger if he is fresh! He is the most gorgeous horse inside and out.  He is my horse of a life time and has so much talent.  We have spent most of the...

Hey guys,So a blog about cyber bulling/ internet ‘trolling’ has been a looooong time coming but after a small blow up on our Instagram, I thought it was needed ASAP. Bare with me whilst I get to the point, but for anyone who didn’t see or doesn’t follow our Instagram – I’ll summarise what happened!My background is horse riding. I’ve ridden since age 4, done dressage since I was 8 and represented Great Britain internationally since I was 12. I have won my fair share of International competitions and currently riding at Prix St George/Inter I. I am a rider first and a clothing brand owner second. I love to inject my riding experience into the brand as everything has...
