Introduction

Hello and welcome, I am Jane Gilbey and this page is about what makes me, me! I am passionate about nature, horses and other animals. From a young child I have always loved to be out doors and to be in the presence of animals. As a family we always had dogs and cats when I was young and thanks to my mums love of nature and all the long, long walks to woods, beaches and parks that she took me, I naturally grew up with a strong love and connection with the natural world.

Every school project was about animals and I loved doing nature scrap books and projects. I didn’t really have a proper introduction to horses until I was around eleven. Once started I was hooked. Then every school essay or project was about horses and I’d be told off for day dreaming, gazing out of the window imagining I was watching or actually riding cantering through meadows and jumping over any fences that got in the way. Even long car journeys would go quite fast as I’d be in my own world flying along side the car on a horse.

I can also remember as a young child making Rose water by putting Rose petals in a bowl of water so I think the flowers were calling me to remember how to make essences even back then. I want to be able to enable people to connect with horses on a deep level, to feel grass under their feet and connect with nature through the flowers and trees with essences.
