Meet the ponies part 3

Callum 💙

So the 3rd of our 3 little musketeers Callum is Simon’s big (little) brother who we brought from the lovely Robyn who was desperate to keep the boys together as they have always been.

When I first saw them advertised and enquired I didn’t realise how many of the main herd needed to be replaced and I had told Robyn that I couldn’t buy them after all. However she had seen our social media and thought we would be the perfect home for them 🥰 so a deal was done.

Callum is broken and is such a safe little ride, Rubes was onboard first and she has welcomed 2 of her besties to come and try him and they have all loved riding him.

The 3 all settled really well from the start although Callum regularly tries to show everyone who is the boss.

So yesterday Ruby’s bestie Ivy visited with her Mom, my fellow director Kirsty and her Dad, Lee. They came so Ivy could have her first pony ride and surprised the 3 of us with this lovely little bench complete with plaque to remember our beautiful Cian 🩵👼🏽 Thanks guys the tears were happy ones we don’t see his name written down enough 💜

☀️ HEAT ☀️

Once again it looks like the heat is not finished with us yet unfortunately. We are closely monitoring the heat for the upcoming week with temperatures expecting to reach 30 degrees and over on some days. We will be in touch with customers as soon as possible if we need to rearrange your trek, thankyou in advance for your cooperation 💖🐎🐴

Meet the ponies part 2!

Simon 😊 aka Starlite Satellite of Love

Simon joined us along with his brother Callum a few weeks ago from Snugglewood Farm and they quickly settled in with our Barley 🥰

We were told that unlike his brother he wasn’t broken so we started his training slowly but he is doing really well and is keen to learn.

Our littlest jockey backed him and he accepted her like he’s been doing it for years! We will be carrying on with his education and we’re sure he will soon be ready for our smaller riders

Meet the ponies part 1!

Barley or Barley boo (what Rubes calls him) or to give him is full title Winford Barley Sugar 💙

Our first purchase when I saw him I knew he was the right fit for us and he is the cornerstone of our little therapy band of musketeers 🥰 He is also referred to as the ginger ninja and loves to escape their field and have everyone chase him (he’s a fast little pony🤣)

He is gentle and loving, so easy for little ones to handle and has learnt to walk a little more slowly with little passengers on board.

Loves to join us in the office 🤣 and have a little hand graze with our staff and volunteers.

👏🏼

We would just like to thank all of our customers for being so understanding about cancelled treks this week due to the heat wave. Our horses will be enjoying the week out in the fields resting, our horses work so hard for us and they deserve a rest especially in these temperatures. Our treks are cancelled through to Friday evening however we will be keeping an eye on Saturday also as it still looks rather warm. Should we need to cancel anymore we will be in touch with customers booked in. We apologise for any inconvenience caused but our horses and staff welfare come first 🐎
