‼️ Attention all mums ‼️

Are you craving some me time, something to look forward to for yourself each week, time spent with other adult humans?

We are launching a new mum's social club- mum hacks! Get it? Hacks for mums 😆

After I had my 2 girls I lost a sense of self, I was just 'mum' and no longer 'Gemma'. Getting back into horse riding, a regular time to look forward to each week and having other mums in the group to chat with gave me a sense of balance.

We are hoping to run on Friday mornings, open to all ability levels, from total beginners to experienced riders. Want to join the club? Send us a dm with the phrase "mum hacks" and let us know what level of riding you're at and I'll get back to you with all the details!

Little miss Daisy 🌼

A mother's dream!

Daisy is an ideal first pony, really gentle and sympathetic, she would be perfect for a child learning to canter on their own.

No spookiness or silliness, perfect to handle on the ground, she will stand all day to be groomed and plaited.

For ⛵
Meet our magic man, Milo 🐴
~13.2hh
16yo
3🥕🥕🥕

Milo is an angel of the farm, an absolute confidence giver. The perfect first pony or step up off lead rein. Safe in all ways.

Milo has been there, done that and got the t-shirt. Able to step it up with a game little rider, or keep it really relaxed for a nervous or novice rider, he is very straightforward in the arena and will pop small fences.
He is trustworthy and sensible at the beach, on the road, and on hacks 🏖
Milo has been to local shows and always keeps his jockey safe.

He's a hardy lad who can live out year round, he is low maintenance but will adore all the care and attention in the world from his little rider

If you think you're the perfect family for Milo give Danny a call on 07821129757
