Did you catch us on TV?! Here are what some of our riders taking part in the British Dressage Urban Riding School initiative had to say about their time on the course, which comes to an end next week. British Dressage have created this initiative to ensure that the sport is accessible to all, by removing the barriers to participation and creating opportunities for riders with limited access to the sport. Well done to all of our riders taking part!
We had lots of fun yesterday at the Kings Heath Horse Show! A huge thank you to the organizers for putting on a great show despite all the mud!
Videos of some of the riding we did yesterday will be coming out soon so keep an eye out!

No two days are the same at Summerfield Stables but the visit from HRH The Princess Royal was definitely a special occasion for all involved. We have been overwhelmed by the support from the team at The British Horse Society and have been so grateful for all their support. Every single member of our team has worked their absolute hardest and we are very grateful for their support and so proud everything they have achieved today. We are also grateful for the support from 608 Equine Vets and Solihull Riding Club who, amongst many others, helped to make our day a success.
Happy New Year to everyone from Bobby! Bobby hasn't been feeling so well recently but he is now feeling back to his normal self. Here is one of his proudest moments receiving his BHS pony personality of the year award from Martin Clunes. We hope you have a 2023 full of amazing achievements and a sense of humour just like Bobby!
Fantastic recognition of Roslyn's work for over 50 years. She has supported day in day out from the very beginning. She is an incredible example of the importance of volunteers in the community and we are so grateful for all that she has given to the stables in both her time and resources!
