Evie is super excited we have some sunshine back….as are we 😁🙏🏻 It just makes such a difference to everyone and everything.

A super chilly start turned into a beautiful day,
so our horses and ponies have all been enjoying time in the field, sunbathing with their rugs off. We have even managed to roll some fields and do lots of numnah washing 👌🏻☀️

Please could we have some more of this weather??!! 🙏🏻

********NEWS FLASH********

OCTOBER PONTISPOOL CAMP 2025

3rd - 5th October.

***TWO SPACES HAVE BECOME AVAILABLE***

These spaces do not hang around long and this camp often sells out within an hour of opening bookings, so please don’t hang around!!

Our Spring and Autumn camps at Pontispool are most definitely right up at the top of our favourite days of the year.

We just have so much fun. The food is incredible and the caterers are the nicest and kindest people, the facilities are amazing, our coaches are insane, Julia always gets the very best pictures, everyone always achieves so much and we always come away feeling so sad it’s over, but so grateful to have had the very best time with everyone.

Anyone want to join us????

Happy Sunday everyone!! And just like that our week of being closed is over. The horses and ponies have enjoyed their week off, although as is always the way they are starting to get bored now and are causing mischief 🫣

It hasn’t been the best week weather wise for them but they have enjoyed covering themselves in mud and then drying out in the bits of sun we have had. The LME human team have been working hard trying to get sorted after a crazy busy few months. We have been sorting, tidying, cleaning and de-cobwebbing!!

Whilst we have been closed this week we have also had some much needed work done on the arena surface which is now looking fab despite the torrential rain today 🥰

We have had our annual awards afternoon today which has been so so lovely….I will update you all on that tomorrow 🥰 But for now time to get organised and ready to re open. We are super excited to get going again and are ready for an Autumn full of fun 🫶

Liam is looking for a new family to love him as much as we do. 🫶🥺💙

Liam is an 11.2hh, 7 year old, Welsh mountain pony. We have had him for around two years and he has tried his hoof at everything. He has worked within our riding school, done Pony Club rallies, camps, fun days, fancy dress, Christmas carol singing rides, I could go on and on!! He is used to total and utter chaos and very little phases him. He is super cute, super kind and is regularly handled by little people. Loves to be groomed and pampered, lives in or out, good with farrier, vet etc.

HOWEVER Liam has decided his favourite thing in the world is hacking and that he isn’t too keen on the other bits any more. He loves pootling out around the lanes and through the woods ideally on the lead rein but will also go off. He also enjoys ride and lead. He is fab in traffic and used to being ridden through a busy forestry. We are looking for a really super home for him where he won’t need to be asked to go around the arena in circles and can just enjoy what he loves. Please only enquire if this is genuinely what you can offer him. 🏡 is massively important. We don’t move our ponies on very often….only when it’s the right thing for them ❤️‍🩹

********EXCITING OPPORTUNITY within our Horse and Pony Share Scheme********

As the Summer draws to a close we have some exciting opportunities available within our horse and pony share scheme.

What is our Horse and Pony Share Scheme?? PLEASE NOTE….THIS IS NOT A LOAN OPTION, BUT A SHARE SCHEME. If you are looking for a loan please do not apply. This scheme is available for clients of LME only. (You are more than welcome to become a client of LME and then take part in the scheme.)

Our Horse / Pony Share Scheme is perfect for children, adults or families who don’t want to take on the whole responsibility and/or cost of owning a horse or pony but would like to enjoy the benefits on a part time basis. It is also perfect if you don’t yet have the experience to own your own horse or pony but would perhaps like to in the future, or for someone who just doesn’t have the huge amount of time needed to commit to owning a horse/pony outright.

Our members have a share in a chosen horse or pony and pay a simple weekly maintenance cost by direct debit which helps towards feed, stabling, vet, worming, tack and farrier costs. You will be given a contract at the start of the share, but there is no set contract term. If you decide to stop sharing, for whatever reason, one weeks notice is acceptable.

Our members will be given as much help and support as is required so that they can enjoy their pony safely and work towards their personal goals. They will be involved in all aspects of looking after their horse/pony including grooming, mucking out, tacking up and field care.

The days you come to do your horse or pony will be discussed with you to suit everyone, but as a rough idea you will need to come and care for your horse or pony 2 or 3 days a week. During term time, children will be able to do their pony 2 or 3 evenings a week and 2 or 3 days a week during the school holidays. Adult’s tend to do two or three weekday mornings or two weekday evenings, plus a weekend morning. However we are super flexible to work around people….shift workers we can make this work 😊

Price – £40 a week, includes 1 accompanied hack with a qualified member of staff once a week plus reduced rates on lessons, camps and clinics. You will also always get your share horse or pony for any lessons, camps or clinics you book. On your assigned days you will be responsible for your horse/pony including feeding, mucking out, poo picking, grooming etc. Those who are deemed experienced enough by our chief coach will be able to hack and school unsupervised. Please don’t be surprised if you are told you are not ready for this. This decision will have been made for yours and our ponies safety.

This scheme is available for children aged 6 and upwards. All children will be closely supervised so parents can drop off and leave children if that is what suits, or parents are welcome to join us and learn too!

*We do all the work when you are not here, mucking out and care of the pony so you do not have to visit twice a day.
*You do not have to worry about finding a suitable horse or pony, not easy at all!! OR pay a lump sum to buy it.
*You do not have to worry about outgrowing the pony your child is currently sharing in height or ability….you just swap your share on to someone else.
*You do not have to worry about vet bills, worming, horse dentist, farrier etc etc!!
*You will be outdoors having fun, in the fresh air and making friends.
*Children will be learning to be responsible by caring for their pony.

All our sharers have their own individual goals, the most popular one being to eventually be able to ride their horse or pony along the beach.

This aims to provide you with a brief outline of what our Pony Share Scheme entails. We can discuss your individual needs and the Pony Share scheme in more detail so please do feel free to contact us.

Pictures of a few of the current horses and ponies we currently have available for this scheme.

And just like that the 2025 Summer holidays are over. 😭😭😭

We have had the most AMAZING time and looking back over all the photos I am amazed by how much we have managed to fit in, but what I notice the most are the smiles….from the ponies, the riders and everyone else. If there was a way of starting the 6 weeks all over again right now we 100% would….we have made memories for life 🫶🫶

HUGEST HUGEST HUGEST THANKYOU from the very bottom of my heart to every single person who has come along and ridden with us/supported us. We are all beyond grateful 🫶🫶🫶🫶

We are now closed for the week and I am about to head to meet Mandy for another meeting!! Watch this space!!!! And as always please comment below and let us know if there is anything you particularly want to do that we may be able to help with 🥰
