A Message from Labella Equestrian
At Labella Equestrian, our horses have always been, and always will be, at the heart of everything we do.
On Thursday, one of our much-loved lesson horses experienced a serious colic episode. Thankfully, they are now recovering well, but it gave us the opportunity to stop, reflect and ask ourselves an important question...
Are we doing enough for the horses that give so much to us?
After a great deal of thought, we’ve made the difficult decision to significantly reduce the workload of our lesson horses. Moving forward, our lesson program will operate with fewer horses in work, ensuring that one horse is always resting and receiving the recovery time they deserve.
As a result, we’ll also be reducing the number of lessons we offer each week.
This has meant making some incredibly difficult decisions, including saying goodbye to valued clients. These decisions have been heartbreaking, but we firmly believe they are the right ones for the long-term health and wellbeing of our horses.
Our lesson horses are far more than just horses that carry riders—they are teachers, confidence builders, trusted friends and cherished members of the Labella family. Every smile, achievement and milestone our riders experience is because of their patience, generosity and willingness to give their all.
Now it’s our turn to give something back.
Thank you to our wonderful clients for your understanding, kindness and ongoing support as we navigate these changes together. Your compassion for our horses is one of the many reasons we’re so proud of the community we’ve built.
This marks the beginning of a new chapter for Labella Equestrian—one built on sustainability, quality and, above all else, putting our horses first.
Thank you for being part of the journey. 🤍🐴
