And last but not least ! We'd like to extend a huge thank you to our amazing farrier, who not only keeps our horses' hooves in tip-top shape but also our spirits high with a great sense of humor. Your knack for making us laugh while expertly handling our sometimes less-than-cooperative equine friends is truly a gift. Who knew that trimming hooves could come with a side of comedy? Your dedication to your craft and your ability to make every appointment feel like a stand-up show is greatly appreciated. Here's to many more shoeing sessions filled with laughter and perfectly manicured hooves!

Have an amazing Christmas & new year Dexter ! 🐎🎄

A big thank you to our Paige ! Who knew that horses could enjoy a spa day just like we do? While we humans are busy with yoga mats and fitness apps, our equine friends are getting their own version of a vibrating foot massage. It’s like a horse’s version of a vibrating chair—minus the awkward small talk with the masseuse! Watching them stand on that TheraPlate, you half expect them to start neighing along to some relaxing spa music. You know your horse is living the high life when it's got better balance than you do. So here's to our Paige at Theraplate Yorkshire & North Lincs: keeping our hoofed pals feeling fabulous, one gentle vibration at a time!🐴 💅🏼

We hope you have an amazing Christmas & new year ! 🎄🐴🥰

A huge thank you to our equine dentist, who’s always finding the right bit, even when the horses aren't exactly chomping at the bit! Your skills are unmatched, whether you're filing down teeth or just horsing around with a hay-load of dental jokes. We've never seen a dentist who can make a horse smile (or was it just a grin and bear it situation?). Either way, your ability to make even the most jittery of ponies say "neigh" to cavities is truly a gift. Here's to you, for keeping our horses' teeth in tip-top shape, and the reins of humor firmly in hand!

We hope you have the best Christmas and new year Matthew Kerrigan ! See you in 2025 🎄🐴❤️

Thank you to our saddle fitter for always having our horses' backs, even when we can't quite stay in the saddle ourselves! Your expertise is truly the mane event, and your ability to spot a misfit saddle from a mile away is nothing short of legendary. You help us avoid those 'unbridled' disasters and ensure our rides are smooth and comfortable. We're lucky to have you, not just because you keep our horses happy, but also because you never rein in your sense of humor. Here's to you for keeping our equine friends and their riders in perfect harmony—one perfectly fitted saddle at a time!

Hope you have the best Christmas & new year Sarah Steel

Ladies and gentlemen, mares and stallions, gather 'round as we extend a heartfelt, and rather humorous, thank you to our wonderful equine physiotherapist. Who knew that horses had more knots than a sailor's rope collection? Yet, our trusty therapist unravels them with the grace of a dressage champion and the precision of an Olympic archer. Your magical hands perform wonders that could make even a unicorn jealous. You've got our horses feeling so good, they're neighing the praises of your skills from the stables to the paddocks. Thanks for keeping our four-legged friends prancing with joy and reminding us that even horses need a little TLC—and maybe a dose of laughter therapy, too! 😂😂

Thanks so much DT Vet Physio Donna Taylor hope you have the best Christmas & new year 🎄🐴

To our Amazing Vet Emerald Equine Vets 🐴

We just wanted to take a moment to trot out our gratitude for all the incredible care you provide to our beloved four-legged friends 24/7 . Your expertise is as impressive as a thoroughbred at full gallop, and your dedication is as unwavering as a stubborn mule (in the best possible way!).

Whether it's a minor hiccup or a major health hurdle, you always manage to turn our horses' frowns into neighs of relief.

Thank you for being the hero of the yard and for having the patience of a saint and the humor of a jockey on race day. ( especially when Monica texts you every other day asking if her sound horse is stiff again ) 😂

On a serious note , We truly appreciate everything you do, and we're so lucky to have you in our corner, rain or shine, hay or high water!

Merry Christmas to Phillip & Eilish (who should have been a vet), Eve & the rest of the Emerald team. Have the best time and we will see you in the new year 🐎🥰

Our students have done a super job in their first term and were very proud of your dedication and hard work .

Part of their learning involves working together as a team relying on each other’s strengths to achieve a common goal. The lessons they are learning with the horses are listening, communicating, and respecting each other’s contributions . In return this is building a stronger, more cohesive team in the workplace.

Everyone’s input is valuable, and success comes from understanding how to work together harmoniously.

Our students task this month was to help us plan a Free fun day for the riding school that is going ahead on Monday. They have come up with amazing ideas with pony rides , The Grinch , Fancy dress and even managed to make a Santas Grotto today🎅🏼

Well done Team 🐎
