Pssst…. Exciting news from SWEC

From 24th August there will be a horse and pony book library next to the viewing area in the indoor arena.

The books are there to be used, enjoyed and either passed on or swapped for others from the book case.

We are not asking for any money for them, we just wish for them to be enjoyed.

There are story books, horse care books, magazines, and encyclopaedia’s amongst many others. Some are very old that parents may enjoy but all are wonderful!

What a lovely picture from one of our riding school clients 🥰

18 months ago after a few nasty falls, Leo had all but given up riding.

His mum contacted us looking to restart him but was wary that he was very nervous, 1 to 1 sessions were a must and time & understanding were very important

Leo came up and was introduced to Jack and had an assessment visit, he has since been having weekly sessions and today was the 4th - they have been happily trotting around the indoor school and Leo’s confidence is growing each session!

On 25th May 1999 the last pit pony in South Wales, 'Robbie', worked his last shift underground at Pant y Gaseg, Pontypool.

In 1913 there were 70,000 ponies working underground in Britain's coal mines, gradually replaced by mechanised haulage, until by 1984 only 55 ponies were still in use.

Small ponies no more than 12 hands high were needed, with Shetlands being a breed commonly used because of their small size. The ponies were stabled underground, coming to the surface only during the colliery's annual holiday. They would work an eight-hour shift, during which they might haul 30 tons of coal.
