You won’t find a lot of fuss or fancy language here—just the truth, and a lot of mud under the fingernails.
Amy Dell-Anthony is the founder of Abbott’s View Livery in the UK—a place where horses are allowed to be horses, mistakes are shared as freely as successes, and the business plan is written in hoof prints rather than spreadsheets.

Amy didn’t set out to be an influencer, or even an expert. She just kept listening—to the horses that threw her, the ones that picked her, and the quiet ones standing in the back, coping. A degree in animal behaviour and welfare gave her the science, but it was daily life with her cob Buck that gave her the questions worth asking. Why do we do things this way? What if there’s another possibility?

Abbott’s View is a working example of what happens when you put the horse’s needs above tradition, and let curiosity lead the way. Her track system wasn’t built to be impressive. It was built because nothing else worked. Every fence, sand pit, and experiment has been tested, tweaked, and sometimes torn down. Perfection isn’t the point. Presence is.

Amy is the author of The Track Book — a practical, honest how-to for anyone ready to start (wherever they are, whatever their land, whatever their budget). She consults with horse owners across the UK, and dreams of helping more people around the world give their horses the lives they actually deserve.

If you’re after someone who’ll tell you the truth about what horses need, what works, what doesn’t—and who’s not afraid to say, “I’m still learning”—you’re in the right place.

This week on Let’s Talk Horses, Life & Living, Sarah Watt sits down with Tasmin Maher, a South African rider and coach who learned early that real success has less to do with perfect rounds and everything to do with finding joy in the process.

Tasmin’s story isn’t about trophies or training secrets—it’s about building a life around horses because you love it, not because anyone else expects you to. She shares what it’s like growing up with horses as family, why pressure doesn’t have to steal your joy, and how the real victories are often the small, steady wins you share with your horse when nobody else is watching.

If you’ve ever needed permission to slow down, to listen instead of force, or to remember why you started in the first place, this episode is for you. Sarah and Tasmin talk about heartbreak and healing, about the partnership that can only be built over years, and about what happens when you finally let go of perfection and just show up—for your horse, and for yourself.

So come as you are—bring your questions, your curiosity, and your tiredness if you need it. Settle in for a conversation that invites you to find your own rhythm, wherever you are in your journey.

What does it really take to live in presence—with horses, with people, with your life?

In this honest and wide-ranging episode, Sarah Watt welcomes back horseman and educator Scott Purdum for a conversation that weaves through hoof care, burnout, redefining success, and the art of saying no. They talk barefoot vs. shod, working with difficult horses, asking for help, and what it means to meet others—human or equine—exactly where they are.

It’s a conversation about permission. To change your mind. To step back. To charge more. To choose less. To listen more deeply. To live more presently.

What if the thing you thought you had to push through… was actually the moment you got to choose something greater?
