Another busy few weeks getting a few more foals on the ground for some very happy owners. We love being able to start peoples days off in the best way with an update of their foal being born overnight.

A few of our boxed patients tucking into dinner tonight under the new lights. We’ve been a bit quiet on updates lately but have been busy behind the scenes the last couple of weekends digging power and installing lighting in all our boxes and barn (also putting lights on the arena so that Iris can ride whenever she wants).
We are here for any of your rehab needs, feel free to get in touch

A couple of foals arrived this week.
A beautiful little King of the north filly born earlier in the week for Dougie Howlett, and a big blingy warmblood c**t on behalf of the Askin family

This cheeky wee filly went home today after being foaled down with us this week. Arriving at the bright and early time of 1am Tuesday morning. Thanks to Jess Land Equestrian for choosing us to foal down another of your mares this season. Here’s hoping having a little foal at foot will keep Coco in her own paddock from now on.
