This time of the year, summer/Autumn, I am seeing a lot of posts on social media about mud fever and asking how to fix it. This time of the year, what people are describing as mud fever is unlikely to be mud fever and more likely to be photosensitivity. They both present with similar symptoms but are different conditions. They both need to be fixed from the inside out to prevent it from coming back.
What is is success? So many different things to different people! Let me tell you what it is to me.
As I am learning about different things, one of the things I have learnt is that it is just as important to feed your mind with the right fuel, the same way you feed your body. If you fuel your body with junk, you feel yuck. The same goes for your mind. Fill it with rubbish and it affects the way you look at life.
The Winter Funk
Monday, 2 May 2022
If you are a horse rider you will know exactly what I mean by the winter funk. You've finished a busy season, you and your horse have a few weeks or month off then you are into winter training. Its cold, its wet, you are stepping up a level and it's hard, the days are short, you're tired and all the other million excuses you come up with to not get out there and ride.
I have sponsored a number of classes at various different events over the years which I am happy to do as a way to give back to a sport that I love. Sponsors are absolutely vital to events. Some events can't run and some would be able to run but be at a much greater expense to the riders. Sadly it seems riders aren't overly forth coming with their thanks to the sponsors of their classes which is a huge shame.
