Nothing makes us prouder than seeing our students shine in the workplace! ✨ Congratulations to Sam on this lovely feedback from Backontrack- equine retirement & rehabilitation. Your passion, commitment, and care for the horses are clear for all to see. 🐴💙

📣 A MASSIVE SHOUT OUT TO OUR SAM! ❤️🐴

Our teenage weekend groom who also spends one day a week here doing her work experience from College.
( who also worked here paid !! For the summer too “Slay Queen” in my un -cool teenager lingo 😂😂)

Honestly… WE NEED TO CLONE HER!! 😂

This girl is everything you want in a member of your team — loyal, fast, conscientious, knowledgeable, reliable and properly hardworking.

She doesn’t stand around waiting to be told what to do. She sees a job and gets on with it, knows the horses, notices the little things and genuinely cares about them. ❤️

And anyone who works with 40 horses knows just how valuable that is!

Sam, you’re an absolute superstar and we appreciate you more than you probably realise. 🥰

Easton College Equestrian Centre— you’ve got a good one here!! 👏🐴❤️

🐴✨ Royal Norfolk Show 2026 ✨🐴

Looking back at a fantastic couple of days at the Royal Norfolk Show for our students, horses, and staff!

As a special end-of-year treat, some of our riders had the opportunity to take part in a drill ride over poles demonstration, and they certainly did us proud. The precision, teamwork, and confidence on display were a credit to all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes throughout the year.

Our horses looked absolutely superb throughout the performance, behaving impeccably and showing off their athleticism, training, and calm professionalism in front of the crowds. We are incredibly proud of every horse-and-rider partnership that took part.

The Royal Norfolk Show isn’t just about riding, though. Many of our students also play an important role in helping to run the event, from stewarding arenas and assisting with show stabling to supporting the smooth day-to-day operation of the show. These experiences provide invaluable hands-on learning opportunities, allowing students to develop practical skills, build confidence, and gain real insight into the wider equestrian industry.
As always, horse welfare remained our top priority throughout the event. With the showground right on our doorstep, we were able to closely monitor our horses in the warm weather and had the flexibility to adjust plans or cancel activities at any point if needed. Thankfully, our horses remained happy, comfortable and well cared for, allowing them to enjoy the experience alongside our students.

A huge well done to all our students and staff for representing the centre so brilliantly, both in and out of the saddle. It was a memorable week and a wonderful way to celebrate the end of another successful academic year.

📸 Here ara a few highlights from a demonstration that showcased the skill, dedication and teamwork of our students and horses.

🐴 Happy Retirement, Fergus! 🐴

After several wonderful years at the yard, it’s time for our much-loved Fergus to enjoy a well-earned retirement.
Fergus has been a favourite among students and staff alike, touching the lives of so many riders with his kind nature and steady character. We know many of you will have special memories of your time with him.

We’re delighted to share some pictures of Fergus in his forever home, where he’ll be living as part of a herd and enjoying a relaxed life with plenty of equine friends.
While we’ll miss seeing him around the centre, we couldn’t be happier for him as he starts this exciting new chapter.

Please join us in wishing Fergus a long, happy, and healthy retirement! ❤️🐴

🐴 Welcome to the Team, Ruben! 🐴

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: Ruben is now officially the first horse to be owned by Easton College ! 🎉

Although Ruben has only been with us for a few months, he has quickly become a much-loved member of the team. His kind nature, willingness to work, and engaging personality have made him a favourite with both students and staff alike.
This marks an important milestone for the Equine Centre and represents a valuable investment in our students’ learning experience. Since arriving at Easton, Ruben has been actively involved in ridden sessions as well as practical teaching sessions, helping students build their confidence, develop their equine skills, and gain hands-on horse management experience.

The entire equine team is delighted to welcome Ruben permanently to Easton College and looks forward to seeing the positive impact he will continue to have on our students and programmes for years to come!

Join us in celebrating this exciting addition to the Easton College community!

☀️🐴 Caring for Our Horses in Hot Weather at Easton College Equestrian Centre 🐴☀️

At Easton College Equestrian Centre, horse welfare always comes first. Ensuring our horses remain healthy, comfortable and happy is a key part of what we do, and it is something we are passionate about passing on to our students as future equine professionals.

Horses have a thermoneutral zone of approximately 5°C to 25°C, meaning temperatures outside this range can place additional stress on their bodies. During periods of hot weather, we take extra precautions to support our horses and use these opportunities to teach students the importance of proactive horse care.

🌳 Access to shade and fresh water. All horses have access to shade and clean, fresh water at all times. Water intake is closely monitored to ensure horses are drinking adequately and staying hydrated.
🚿 Keeping cool. Regular bathing and hosing down help our horses regulate their body temperature and stay comfortable throughout the day.
🧴 Protection from the sun and flies. Sunscreen is applied where needed, alongside fly spray to help protect horses from sunburn and irritation caused by insects.
🥣 Nutritional support. To replace electrolytes lost through sweating, horses receive daily salt, and on particularly hot days we provide Saracen Horse Feeds Recovery Mash to support hydration and recovery.
🐎 Adjusting workloads When temperatures rise, we adapt our activities accordingly. This may mean swapping ridden lessons for a relaxing hack around the beautiful Easton estate or delivering stable management sessions instead, ensuring both horse and rider welfare remain a priority.
👀 Daily health monitoring Alongside our usual welfare checks, we remain vigilant for signs of dehydration or heat-related illness, enabling us to respond quickly should any concerns arise.

Teaching students to recognise, understand and respond to the effects of hot weather is an essential part of their equine education. By putting welfare first, we help develop knowledgeable, compassionate horse people who will carry these values throughout their careers.

🎥 Look at them go! 🐴✨

Our Level 3 students have been hard at work exploring equine fitness – and what better way to learn than with our incredible rescues, Una and Maggie💪💚

Across a series of sessions, students partnered with the same horses to assess and improve their fitness:
📍 Session 1 – Arena: Students carefully measured and marked intervals, introducing structured training and recording heart rates.
🌿 Session 2 – Field: The same process continued in a new environment, helping both horses and students adapt.
🌳 Session 3 – Estate: Taking their learning further afield, students monitored fitness on varied terrain.

Through each stage, they collected data, observed progress, and built confidence – both in themselves and in the horses.

And just look at Una and Maggie now… their journey is one to be proud of! 🌟
