This Carers Week, we’re celebrating PACC 💛

PACC is a Shropshire charity supporting parent carers and families of children and young people with SEND, including co-ordinating accessible school holiday activities for the families they support.

Last summer, they commissioned us to produce their official “PACC Healthy Lives” summer promotional film — which meant travelling across Shropshire to capture many of the wide range of activities they organise 🎥

In doing so, we got to see first-hand the difference their work makes: the confidence, the community, the joy, and the vital spaces they help create for families who need them ✨

This video remains a lovely reminder of just how essential accessible, meaningful holiday provision can be — and why organisations like PACC deserve to be recognised, supported and celebrated. Not just during Carers’ Week, but all year round 🙌🏻

We hope you enjoy watching it. If you feel you or your family could benefit from the incredible work PACC do, please take a look at their website. We’ll pop the link in the comments 🌟

We need to talk about Tip Toe 🖤

The extraordinary new Channel 4 drama finished airing this week, and we are still coming to terms with what we’ve just watched.

Brutal. Brilliant. Unforgettable.

A chilling social commentary about fear, prejudice and the way online misinformation can distort perception, radicalise communities and give rise to modern mob rule.

It is hard to watch. It should be.

After generations of fighting to be seen, one line has not left us: “What if they see us and they still don’t like us?”

That is exactly why LGBT+ visibility on screen matters. Not as a box-ticking exercise, but as a reflection of real lives, real communities and real consequences 🌈

We ourselves have seen first-hand how easily outdated, harmful attitudes can still surface, often from people who should know better. That is why stories like this need to be told loudly, clearly and without compromise.

Thank you Russell T Davies for creating something so necessary, fearless and devastating. This feels like television people will still be talking about for generations to come.

And as for the music… 🙌🏻

We could not be prouder of our very own Henry House composer, Sam Watts. To have the man scoring our pilot involved in watershed television like this feels incredibly special 🎼

The score — and just as importantly, the restraint of knowing when to let silence do the damage — adds so much to the show’s most chilling moments.

Sam has described Tip Toe as the proudest moment of his career. And so it should be.

It’s our proudest moment of your career too, Sam (and you’re scoring our pilot!) ❤️

Traitors winner to visit local care home that inspired Henry House 🏰

To mark Carers Week, we’re proud to announce that Rachel Duffy, winner of hit reality show The Traitors, is set to visit Hengoed Park later this month alongside our Henry House leading lady Órla Jones 🎬

With Carers’ Week placing a spotlight on unpaid carers, Rachel’s own story feels especially meaningful.

She bravely cared for her mum through her dementia journey for many years 💛

That lived experience has helped us further develop Henry House, following Rachel’s appointment as a Story Consultant on our care home drama, supporting our commitment to telling these stories with authenticity, dignity and heart.

But she’s not the only one…

Hengoed Park recently endorsed the project after their staff worked with us as Story Consultants in their own right, bringing invaluable insight from those working on the front line of a real-life rural care home every single day 👏

Rachel and Órla’s visit will be our way of thanking Hengoed Park’s hard-working carers for everything they have done for Henry House — and giving back for everything they do as carers all year round.

So keep your eyes peeled for a “Traitor” in the area coming soon 👀

Well, they’ll believe you now, Molly… 👀

When our recent work experience student Molly from Lakelands Academy found herself briefly on the phone with The Traitors winner Rachel Duffy, her only worry was that nobody would believe her.

So, for Molly’s birthday, we asked our Henry House Story Consultant if she might help us prove it once and for all - and huge thanks to Rachel for making this magical little moment possible ✨

Happy birthday, Molly — from Rachel and the rest of the Rocking Horse family. We hope this settles the matter! 🎂

That’s a wrap on a wonderful workshop weekend! 🎬

Yesterday, we were joined by members of local autism support group, Shropshire Autonomy at The Hive Shrewsbury for an accessible, hands-on filmmaking session.

A huge thank you to everyone who got stuck in — and our brilliant workshop team for bringing the session to life 👏

So just why were Shropshire Autonomy members learning about filmmaking this weekend?

More on that very soon… 👀

For Dementia Action Week, we wanted to introduce you to Doris 💙

In Henry House, our care home comedy-drama we’re developing, Doris (played by the wonderful Jacqueline King in our pilot) is not just a resident living with dementia.

She was once the cleaner of the home — and long before living there, Henry House was already part of her life 🏡

Doris loved Henry House, so when she developed dementia, the team went to great lengths to make sure she could come and live with them, becoming a resident in a place she already knew and felt safe.

Now, every morning, Doris puts on her tabard, picks up her feather duster and gets to work — with no awareness that she is no longer there as a cleaner, but as a resident 🧹

But rather than correct her every day, the team celebrate it. Because Doris is not just someone to be cared for. She is someone with a history, a role, a sense of purpose and a lifetime of stories that still matter ✨

That feels very close to the spirit of this year’s Alzheimer's Society Dementia Action Week theme: the stories behind the Forget Me Not.

But Henry House also asks the harder question ⚖️

Is allowing Doris to keep cleaning a compassionate way of protecting her identity and wellbeing — or is there a point where it crosses a line into exploitation, even when it makes her happy?

Are the staff of Henry House right to let Doris keep hold of a role that gives her purpose — or are they crossing a line, even with the best intentions?

What would you do? 👀

That is why we’re working so hard to get Henry House onto your screens. Because care is complicated. People are complicated. And these are exactly the kinds of questions nothing else on TV is asking 📺

For the one who makes work experience happen ❤️

Behind every placement we offer young people via The Jack Morris Initiative, our accessible work experience programme, there’s a lot people don’t see; the planning, safeguarding, the little details and the big responsibility.

As Work Experience Co-Ordinator, Abi Baker is the driving force behind all of that. From there, our founder Gareth Owain David Thomas usually leads the actual placements, with local students shadowing him in his role 🎬

But when Gareth had to be away for part of this week’s placement, Abi went even further than usual — stepping up to deliver the programme in person. All so Molly, a 14-year-old student from Lakelands Academy, didn’t miss out.

As Molly’s placement comes to an end, this is a thank you to someone who keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes (in more ways than one! 🚗), but never stops being seen, valued and loved — by us or by those she supports.

Thank you for all you do, Abi. The Jack Morris Initiative and Rocking Horse Media simply would not function without you ✨

Hengoed Park has officially endorsed Henry House! 🏡🎬

By working closely with us behind the scenes over the past year as Story Consultants on our care home comedy-drama, the staff of the local care home have helped us bring greater authenticity to the world we’re building.

Their input has been especially valuable because Hengoed Park is actually an independently owned, rural care home — just like Henry House itself! 😍

That insight, experience and care has helped us shape a world full of humour, warmth, pressure, heartbreak, personality and deeply human stories ❤️

But this one feels especially meaningful because Hengoed Park is where the earliest spark of Henry House began, during creator Gareth Owain David Thomas’ own night shifts there ten years ago.

To now have their support as we continue developing the project is incredibly special, and we’re so grateful to Ellie Jones (pictured with Gareth), Annie Aston, and everyone at Hengoed Park for helping us get this world right ✨

Lovely to see the news featured in today’s Oswestry Advertizer too 📰

As Mental Health Awareness Week comes to a close, it felt like the right moment to reflect on why the stories we tell — and the way we tell them — matter 💚

Across fiction, documentary and the work we do behind the scenes, we believe stories can open conversations, raise awareness and help people feel seen.

From our fictional projects like Henry House and Holly & Ivy, to our ongoing commitment to telling Callum’s very real story, these projects all carry care, responsibility and lived experience at the heart of them.

Because every conversation matters.
Every act of care matters.
Every action counts 💫

We may have been quiet on here recently, but not behind the scenes… 👀

There’s been a lot going on across Rocking Horse Media over the last few weeks — with projects moving, conversations continuing, and plenty being built in the background.

Our Henry House Story Consultant Rachel Duffy was even on the BAFTA red carpet this past weekend, celebrating the best in British television alongside the top talent shaping our industry right now 🎬

Having someone of Rachel’s profile involved in our care home comedy drama already means so much — but seeing her at such a major event only reminds us how lucky we are to be working with her.

Now we’re manifesting the future version where Henry House is there too… BAFTA nomination, red carpet, the lot. She scrubs up well, doesn’t she? 😍
