Hi there! I’m Jess Stone, and I’m a proud HGV driver with a deep love for horsepower—both on the road and in the arena.

By day (and often night!), you’ll find me behind the wheel of a heavy goods vehicle, navigating motorways, service stations, and everything the open road throws my way. It’s not your typical “female” job—something I’ve come to embrace and celebrate. Trucking isn’t just work for me; it’s a lifestyle, full of freedom, focus, and a bit of grit.

When I’m not in the cab, you’ll most likely find me at the stables, training in dressage. There’s a quiet power in working with horses—the discipline, connection, and grace it demands is like nothing else. It keeps me grounded and gives me space to grow, one precise movement at a time.

Another passion of mine is photography. Whether I’m capturing golden hour at a remote lay-by, the elegance of a dressage test, or candid moments from the road, photography lets me tell stories without words. It's my way of slowing down and appreciating the beauty in every part of life—dust, diesel, hoofbeats and all.

This blog is where all these pieces of my world come together. I’ll be sharing road tales, equestrian adventures, and snapshots of life through my lens. Thanks for dropping by—I’m glad you're here.
