🌟 HAPPY NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK TO OUR AMAZING TEAM! 🌟

As National Volunteer Week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to shine a massive, well-deserved spotlight on the absolute heart and soul of Howden Equestrian Centre and Howden Community Stables CICβ€”our incredible volunteers! πŸ™ŒπŸ΄

Running a centre with high welfare standards takes a village, and we are incredibly lucky to have the best village around. Whether you are leading in our sessions, helping out our pony days, keeping the yard immaculate, or giving our horses some extra love and grooming, your dedication does not go unnoticed.

Our volunteers range from young people gaining valuable industry experience to community members who generously give up their free time to help others discover the joys of equestrianism. Because of your hard work, patience, and kindness, we ensure all our horses get the very best one to one care, and we are also able to change lives through horses every single week!

To each and every one of you who skips a lie-in, braves the British weather, and brings endless smiles to our yard: THANK YOU. We quite literally couldn't do it without you. ❀️

Please join us in the comments below by giving a massive shout-out to our wonderful volunteer team! πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Do you have a weight-carrying cob standing at 15hh or above who is looking for a 5-star, loving home? We are looking for another superstar to join our valued equine team to join the Howden Equestrian Centre family on a long-term loan basis.

We know how hard it is to trust someone with your horse, but we do things differently here. We operate a strict "horses first" philosophy, meaning your horse will receive top quality, professional care and a routine that prioritises their happiness and health.

What we offer your horse:

🌟 The Highest Welfare Standards: We are BHS Highly Commended and hold a 5-Star East Riding Council rating.

🩺 Tailored Care Programmes: We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your horse requires a specific feeding regime, individual turnout needs, specialised farriery, or a carefully managed fitness plan, we tailor our daily care to suit their exact physical and mental needs.

πŸ’€ Plenty of Rest: We strictly control our horses working hours and all our horses enjoy at least 2 full days off a week (if not more).

🌱 Natural Turnout: Daily turnout in a settled, natural herd environment.

πŸŽ“ Expert Handling: Cared for by our fully qualified professionals and award-winning yard team.

What we are looking for:

Height: 15hh+

Type: Cob / Cob cross

Temperament: Sane, sensible, and safe to walk, trot, and canter. They must be happy to work with a variety of riders of differing ages and abilities.

Whether you are struggling for time, facing rising costs, or just want your horse to have a secure, active, and pampered lifestyle, we can provide the perfect solution. Owners are more than welcome to stay in touch, visit, and remain a part of their horse's journey!

πŸ“ Based between Howden and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor. East Yorkshire.

Interested? Please send us a direct message with some details, photos/videos, or give us a call to chat further!
