❤️ An Insight into Life at TDS ❤️

What’s it really like to have your horse at TDS?

We thought the best people to tell you would be our own liveries! So we’re sharing some lovely words from the people who make TDS what it is.

First up, Helen B and Captain Jack 🐴

“Care and community are what I value the most from everyone at TDS.

The team work tirelessly in all weather conditions to ensure CJ and all of the horses are cared for in the best possible way.

As someone relatively new to horse ownership, the friendly and helpful community at TDS matters massively too. I’m never worried about asking anyone a question. My current thing is ‘which rug for today!’ 😂

And when you arrive, there’s always someone to have a smile and a natter with, which means a lot.”

Thank you, Helen, for sharing what life at TDS means to you. ❤️

Because having a horse is about more than just the stable they sleep in. It’s the people, the support and the little everyday moments that make it special.

Thinking about livery at TDS? Drop us a message, we’d love to chat! 🐴

We love our home. 🐴🤎

Church Farm, Tong has been home to TDS for over 6 years now, and it’s pretty special to think about just how many people have learned to ride here.

First lessons. Wobbly trots. Nervous riders finding their confidence. Children growing up with horses. First competitions. New friendships. So many memories made along the way.

But we know Church Farm has been part of people’s stories for much longer than TDS has been here...

Have you ever been to Church Farm, Tong? 🐴

Maybe you ride here now, maybe you came along years ago, or maybe you remember the days of Mrs Bates?

Would you like us to take a little trip down memory lane and share some of the history of TDS and Church Farm?

Tell us in the comments when you first came to Church Farm. 👇

We’d love to hear your memories. 🤎
