The Paddock Paradise Podcast is not chained to a location or desk of some sort, so when we were in the UK for a clinic we could not resist paying a visit to Alyson and Maddie who own and operate PB Paddock Paradise Track livery in Newport.

We sat down for a little one -n-one.. well two actually and discussed Paddock Paradise, natural horse care and of course the WHY of operating a livery yard like this with Alyson and her daughter Maddie, both devoted to helping horses and spreading the word of natural care for equines.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the clinic dates mentioned at the very end of this interview have been set back to December. Please follow our page for more details about our scheduled events at www.paddockparadiseacademy.com

Evelien Riesmeijer started her journey into Natural Horse Care in 2018. Coming from a family of professional showjumpers, Evelien is no stranger to the process horse owners go through when they are first introduced to the principles of natural horse care.

In 2020 she joined Jaime Jacksons program in The Netherlands. Her practice has grown exponentially in the past two years, and she is now ready to take on students of the Paddock Paradise Academy as they work their way through our training program.

Jan Brooksbank (UK) recently returned from Dubai where she lived close to 20 years.

For the past ten years she has trimmed hooves in the UAE under her social media pseudonym “Desert Hoof”. Having owned and worked with horses all her life, Jan is your typical horseowner.

But she is also a natural horse care advocate who initiated the first Paddock Paradise track system in the UAE, and removing the shoes and bits on most horses at Al Ruwayyah stables.
