To our lovely clients

Please kindly open both gates on entry and exit to Rookery Farm. If one of the gates is left closed, there is a risk that your car could be damaged, and our gates bent in the process. It wouldn’t be the first time!

Thank you, Caroline 😊

Thinking of leasing my 12.2hh all round school master and confidence giver over the next year or so.
He’s 24 now I’ve had him since he was 4. This pony is one in a million and is still able to do light work as he has plenty of life left in the tank. Is spicey when on the lead rein so would suit a confident child just to do low level things to keep him ticking over and have a smile on their face. I’m happy to retire him but he just seems a bit bored without a small person as he LOVES kids and is still sound and happy. This pony has been there done that about 10 times over so he has taken so many children so far over the years.
Homes will be vetted.
No high level jumping or affiliated things please he’s 24 not 4 now. He’s still able to pop over small fences but he’s not going to a competition home. He’s sound and very happy it would be a shame to retire him fully as he LOVES to please and he’s bored at the moment.
Pm me 😃

We care for these horses like our own.
We love our job.
We take pride in making sure everyone has a happy, healthy retirement with us.
We enjoy seeing positive turn arounds.
We strive on working as a team with staff and customers.
We CARE.

Communicate - between us and owners.

Accommodate - making sure your horse is accommodated for their individual needs.

Recognise - there will be changes as they get older and this is normal like people.

Evaluate - look at the situation and make the right decision for your horse NOT YOU!

Retirement livery is difficult as every single horse has problems we manage. And as they get older, these problems become more prominent.

Our jobs are however stressful and sad too at times. Please be mindful of this.
Caroline is still struggling after surgery so any issues please email Abbie.
Please remember we CARE too.

Communicate
Accommodate
Recognise
Evaluate

These things are the most important things to remember while your horse is with us.

We haven’t been here 26 years for nothing!

Have a good week 🥕

This makes my heart so full ❤️ we do give every single horse individual care for their requirements. We are not a busy one in one out yard. We take pride in knowing that all your furry friends will have a good time with us no matter how long or short. We are a small family run business who’ve been going for a long time. We know our stuff and take extra care like each one is our own. These words mean so much to us! Thank you so so much ❤️🥰

We’ve seen similar with the horses 💔 breaks our heart but makes us realise animals are very very clever too ❤️‍🩹

“Yesterday I witnessed something that took my breath away. I heard a sound at the window of the cottage. When I looked, a cedar waxwing had hit the window and fallen to the deck. It’s mate stood beside it. It was clear that the fallen bird was dead. I turned away for a moment and when I looked again, it’s mate had hopped over. It lay down beside its partner, their heads touching. It closed its eyes and passed over to Spirit with its mate. The sadness and beauty of the moment was such a privilege to witness. If anyone has ever doubted that animals feel emotion and love, this moment was absolute proof of both. Nature truly has much to teach us.” ❤
