🐴📖 MILES, MARES AND MAYHEM — THE BIG REVEAL! 📖🐴

Well… here goes nothing! 🙈❤️

I’ve been keeping a rather big secret, and I can honestly say this is probably one of the most nerve-racking things I’ve ever shared!

Somewhere between thousands of miles on the road, countless horses, breakdowns, laughter, tears and a frankly ridiculous amount of mayhem… I somehow managed to write a book! 🤣

Miles, Mares and Mayhem: Confessions of a Highland Horse Transporter is officially a reality! 🥹📖

It’s not a glamorous, polished account of life in the equestrian industry. It’s the real thing. The good, the bad, the heartbreaking and the downright ridiculous!

But there’s something else behind these pages, too.

If there’s one thing I’d love people to take away from my story, it’s that you don’t have to have everything figured out to follow your dreams. Sometimes you just have to be brave enough to start. ❤️

And believe me, sharing this with you all has taken a fair bit of bravery!

📖 Kindle — available to pre-order now!

📚 Paperback — launching 28th November 2026!

I’ll also have copies available directly from me at a special launch price! ❤️

So here it is. My first ever book. Written with a lot of love, a fair few tears and probably more swear words than strictly necessary! 🤣

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go and hide behind Willow until the nerves settle! 🐶🙈

🐶🎃 WILLOW HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT… 👀❤️

Only ONE HOUR until our BIG secret is finally revealed!

Willow has been sworn to secrecy, although she’s apparently decided to dress for the occasion! 🤣🧙‍♀️

I’ve been keeping this under wraps for quite some time, and honestly, I’m absolutely bricking it! 🙈

6PM TONIGHT! ❤️

All will be revealed…

I’ve been keeping a rather BIG secret… 👀❤️

Something I’ve been working on behind the scenes for quite some time. I know youve all been waiting to hear about it!

There’s been laughter, tears, a lot of hard work and a fair amount of wondering whether I’ve completely lost the plot! 🤣

But tomorrow evening, I’m finally going to share it with you all.

And honestly? I’m absolutely terrified! 🙈

All will be revealed tomorrow at 6pm ❤️🐴

Turns out there’s been a little more going on behind the scenes than transporting horses and trying to keep Willow out of my lunch… 👀🐾

I’ve been quietly working on something that means a huge amount to me, and I’m nearly ready to let you in on it.

Not spilling the beans just yet — which, as you can imagine, is taking considerable self-control 😂

Exciting news coming soon. Watch this space 💙

As today marks three years since Smurf’s passing, I thought it was a good time to reflect on his influence, inspiration and legacy. 💙

I have one of Smurfs shoes in the lorry, so he’s still with us on every journey.

From the beginning, my vision was clear: to make professional horse transport, with genuine care for horses and their welfare at the heart of every decision, a real choice—not simply the cheapest journey or an option focused only on getting from A to B.

That vision remains unchanged.

There has been progress, learning and plenty of change along the way, and this year has brought challenges that have required us to adapt. But adaptation is not giving up. It is part of protecting the integrity of the business and ensuring that we can continue moving forward without compromising the principles it was built upon.

There is so much happening quietly behind the scenes, and I’m working incredibly hard to bring some very exciting plans to life. While I may not be in the position I imagined I would be this time last year, the direction remains clear—and there is plenty to look forward to this winter.

The journey may be evolving, but the vision is still firmly at the heart of everything we do:

Horse First. Always. 💙

A little update from HETS 💙

Apologies to anyone who is currently waiting for a reply, quotation, confirmation or paperwork from me. I’ve been pretty poorly over the last few days with a horrible flu/virus and, despite attempting to carry on as normal, it has finally forced me to admit defeat and rest!

If you are waiting to hear from me, I haven’t forgotten about you. I’ll work through all outstanding messages, enquiries and admin as soon as I’m feeling well enough and will get back to everyone as quickly as I can.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding — normal HETS service (and my ability to form a coherent sentence!) will resume ASAP. 💙🐴

One last photo together 💙🚛

There’s something quite special about this photo.

Both of these lorries started their very first official HETS transport jobs from my dad’s house — and this morning, completely by chance, they ended up back in the same place together one last time before the lease lorry went back to Hemingways. 🥹

A lot of horses, a lot of miles and a lot of memories between these two. ❤️

A little sad to see one go, but very grateful for the chapter we’ve had with it.

Onwards. 🐴🚛

A little fleet update 🚛❤️

As many of you know, for a while now HETS has been operating with two vehicles, which has given us some extra flexibility with bookings and allowed us to expand what we can offer.

This week, our leased vehicle will be returning to Hemingways, as the company moves in a different direction and our current leasing arrangement comes to an end.

I would like to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to Jennifer and all the team at Hemingways for what has been a genuinely wonderful business relationship. It has been an absolute pleasure working with them, and should either of our circumstances change in the future, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire from them again.

For the time being, this means HETS will be returning to operating with one vehicle.

I’m not going to rush into sourcing another vehicle simply for the sake of having two. Commercial vehicles are a considerable investment, and I’d rather take my time and make sure that any future addition to the fleet is the right one for the business.

HETS is very much still here and operating as normal. We’ll continue covering our usual local and long-distance transport, individual and shared journeys and regular routes. The only real difference is that availability may become a little more limited during particularly busy periods, so booking ahead wherever possible will be appreciated.

Running two vehicles has been a fantastic chapter for the business, and I’m incredibly grateful to Hemingways for being part of it.

For now, we’re simply returning to one vehicle and carrying on doing what we do. ❤️

And perhaps I’ll enjoy having one less set of vehicle keys to lose. 😂
