News & Events

It was a bit of an eventful couple of weeks recently.

We’ve had good news finally that we have been waiting on and I have been going grey over – the planning committee has approved the arena yipee!!

Ben is still settling in really well, and now with some restrictions lifted I have lots of plans to get him out hacking. I am really hoping these hacks will steer his brain completely away from racing, which is deeply engrained and I often forget until I take up too much rein contact.

I haven’t been walking Diva out around the lanes since lockdown commenced, as it just didn’t seem right without my friend Jill accompanying us. This weekend, with things relaxing a little, Jill was able to come over to the yard and we enjoyed a lovely socially distanced walk in the sun.

When the weather turns chilly, humans wrap up warm but horses depend on their owners to keep the cold at bay. Knowing when and how to rug a horse is a complex matter, with lots of factors to consider.

What a difference a few days make. From hot and sunny to wet, windy and ten degrees cooler! No wonder us Brits are known for talking about the weather.

Horses love nothing more than a good graze in the field – but sometimes, those natural food sources can spell danger.

Have you recently given a horse a new home? If so, one of the first things you’ll find out about your new animal is whether they are hard or easy to catch. Suffice to say, being able to catch your horse in a stable, field or other space is a huge part of ownership.
