About this episode

Belle Richardson discusses her journey from radiographer to co-founder of SealStop, focusing on water conservation in equestrian care.

Ever stood at the end of a hose thinking… this is absolutely chucking it away ?! 💦 This week, we’re joined by Belle Richardson - horse mum, mum of boys, problem-solver, and co-founder of SealStop . She's turned a very real yard frustration into a simple idea... that’s now helping save water across the equestrian world and beyond. From NHS radiography to muddy gateways and flooded yards, Belle’s story is one of spotting a problem in real life... and then actually doing something about it. This episode is for you if… • you’ve ever winced at how much water gets wasted on the yard • you’re juggling horses, kids, and a never-ending to-do list • you love a practical fix that actually makes life easier • or you’ve got an idea bubbling away but no “perfect” time to start We chat about: • Belle’s unexpected journey from radiographer to inventor • Why the best ideas often come from frustration, not funding • The reality of water use in horse care (it’s more than you think) • Building a business around family life... not the other way round • and how small, community-led ideas can create really BIG impact Plus, we obviously address the honest juggle of making it all work when life is…
