The hottest May Bank Holiday on recordβ¦ and how lucky are we to have our very own private cooling-off spot here at Little Lodge Farm! βοΈπ΄π¦
Itβs safe to say the river was a sanctuary for the horses during the heatwave. Our private river-access horse area proved incredibly popular, and weβre delighted to be able to offer a safe, horse-only environment. To ensure the best experience for everyone, access is strictly limited to horses and their riders, with no general public, loose dogs, or paddle boards sharing the entrance.
This helps keep the water calm and enjoyable for all horses β even those who arenβt always convinced about taking a dip!
I took Breeze in for a swim on Monday. Heβs never quite as keen to go in when Iβm riding him as he is when I lead him in, so thatβs exactly what we did. Once he was in, he absolutely loved it and made the most of cooling off in the river. π₯°
Days like these remind us just how special our little corner of the forest really is. πΏπ
