About Me: The Pony Dad

Hi, I'm the founder of Brave New Outdoors. I started this site to share my experiences balancing family life with a deep love for the outdoors.

Between the chaos of work and school runs, I realized that getting outside shouldn't have to wait for a two-week summer holiday. Whether I'm acting as head groom for my daughter's mounted games pony, outfitting the camper van for a rainy weekend, or squeezing in a dawn patrol trail run, my goal is simple: get outside, get muddy, and be brave.

Brave New Outdoors is for the modern parent. Here you'll find honest gear reviews, the regular "Pony Dad Diaries", and practical tips for making micro-adventures happen even when life feels too busy.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find the inspiration to plan your next adventure—no matter how small.
