Having a feed nutritionist who looks after any ponies and horses what come to boot camp is absolutely amazing! Helping set out a plan for each horses needs for workload needed! It works amazingly and helps me massively so I can do my training and riding part with ease! Topping it off, this is included in the price! She also runs her own feed business 😊 Whitehall Feeds

Chiropractor for me this morning! Keeping myself loose, fit and healthy is important for keeping work fit for the lovely horses and ponies I work with ❤️

25/07/2024

A horse should never be “Broken” while been trained to be ridden! It’s about reading the horses body language, the horses eye, knowing the right time to push forwards or bring back and mix it up. These animals need to be treated as a privilege with love and respect. Keeping cheeky quirks what the yard laughs at is very important. It’s about growth and partnership. This is why we like to meet the horses we will be working with first, no quick fixes, no pushing and rushing

Peanut is a beautiful Arab cross who we are so lucky to have stables at WillowDene Stables as she teaches children to ride love and respect these beautiful animals! I am lucky to ride a wide variety of ponies and horses at the school and feel all sorts of different movements as every horse is different! Plus I have great fun freshening the ponies up and working out what rider is best suited to them in lessons ❤️❤️ my job. Charlotte She is a lovely horse

What a beautiful luck charm to appear at Willow dene stables, what a lovely yard and place to work and most of all our family yard where my Grandparents and Mum live and who taught me how to ride and look after all the precious ponies we have! **DISCLAIMER** our yard is fully CCTV covered, anybody seen to chase/follow, feed, touch, pick up, Any of our animals unless authorised to do so will be asked to leave! Visitors come for a horse experience, we are not a petting zoo. We love our animals and love our calm peaceful peace of the world and very hard for it!

On my day off we have a lovely dog walk 🥰Louie and Tinkerbell are loving having a baby brother who had his first walk with them today Thor. Yes I am a crazy animal lady!

When your horse is out with his pall and in the field most furthest away, just call his name and he comes running! Even if he knows it means a work out 🥰 Absolutely adore him and Popeye his little buddy and riding school pony! ❤️

Very proud of these two, competing at The Yorkshire Show isn’t not bad for a first ever show! Well done Kelly and Skipper in the novice hunter, not looking out of place in such a big class.
Working with Skipper has been a lovely honour to get him back into work and show ready 😊

That’s skipper onto his next chapter, in just 3 and a half weeks he has lost some tummy and muscled up nicely ready for the Yorkshire Show all the best look to him and Kelly for tomorrow. His work program has worked really well and he has loved his work, always very happy and wanting to learn. A big thank you to Whitehall livery yard and Whitehall feeds for making his stay a stress free trip. With this I could do my exercise plan with him and they clearly fed him amazingly! And a big thankyou to WillowDene Stables aka mum for supporting me and helping me out as always ❤️ An amazing start to the future!

Twilight, a 13.2 cob in for breaking.
In the space of 2 short weeks this beautiful mare has exceeded expectations whilst being loose lunged, long reined and with the breaking process.
With lots of forward and stretching work, we have managed to progress and we are now able to sit on and walk on twilight, and are beginning to introduce steering work.
What a great little pony to work with!
