After the year we've all had, I've decided to push

After the year we've all had, I've decided to push on with stepping out of my comfort zone and make more video content.
I think it will be a great way for me to record where I've come from and capture where I go to next.
I'm not a professional and doing video scares the living daylights out of me, but I'm having fun doing it.
So, come join me, learn my story, find out what really goes on behind the scenes and interact with me so I know I'm not just talking to myself. lol🤣
Click the link in my BIO 👉 YouTube and you will be directed to my new video.
I recorded this trailer last week but being new to all this techy stuff, I've only just got round to publishing the video. 😁🤦‍♀️
Drop me a comment if you can think of anything you would like to learn about me, saddlery or training to become a Saddler.
See you there, Clair x

The day of Love ♥️ (Valentines day) was a coup

The day of Love ♥️ (Valentines day) was a couple of weeks ago and I had prepared these limited edition beauties for a one off launch:
♥️ Love & Luck Bag Charm (or large keyring)
♥️ Horseshoe Heart Keyring
However, due to recent events In my personal life and family commitments I was a little AWOL meaning I missed the intended launch date.
Once I dwelled on the fact that I had missed the ideal date to launch these little rubies, I then thought "why do I need a day of Love to spread a message of LOVE & LUCK?" ❣️
We all need some love and luck in our lives and these are definitely set for that challenge.
Do you know of anyone who would appreciate these beauties? If so, tag them. 💌
And feel free to share to your story too ♥️
I will pop these onto my online shop in the meantime, so go to the link in my BIO 👉 Equestrian Gifts 😘

Yesterday I joined an online webinar which was a '

Yesterday I joined an online webinar which was a 'Bits and Bit Fitting course'. A collaboration between the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) and The Society of Master Saddlers (SMS).
As part of my QEST Scholarship, some of the funding I applied for was to be put towards further learning in the field of Bits and Bit fitting.
Although it wasn't an actual certificated course, it certainly has given me some excellent foundations in which to build on, that will compliment my Bridle Making and fitting skills when conducting bridle consultations with future clients.
I would like to think that, in the not so distant future, I will have a collection of bits of all shapes and sizes that I can offer my clients as part of a trial service.
I'm hoping to recommence my bridle consultations in May 2021 (subject to the outcomes of the government reviews). So, if you are interested in a visit, then message me to provisionally book a date.

"We will get through this"
📷 @charliemackesy
When things seem to get worse not better, remember 'we will get through this'.
I am currently working more at my day job now since their business has boomed during this pandemic started as well as juggle two high school aged children and a recent death in the family.
I've become a bit of a juggling act and rather than become stressed and anxious about it all something has to give to keep the balance.
Just to clarify, I will not be undertaking any more bridle consultations, Bespoke orders or even repairs until further notice.
I will however be working on my gift collection of products as and when time allows (or I need to escape to the studio for some ME time) and the website will see some updates too.
Unfortunately, until lockdown and restrictions are eased my @qestcraft scholarship training is postponed until further notice.
I was really looking forward to getting back into student mode and learn new skills in bridlemaking, bridle fitting and bit fitting.
You are always welcome to message me in the meantime.
Take care #STAYSAFE.
