Our teeny duo had a very successful day at Highfield House Stables Spring Show on Saturday. What started with two entries resulted in two first placings, two Champion placings and then Ridden Supreme Champion. One very happy little jockey and lots of very proud helpers and supporters ❤️

JOB VACANCY

Part-time Stable Assistant

We are seeking an experienced, reliable and safety conscious individual to join our small team on our livery yard in Chester le Street, County Durham.

The suitable candidate must be over 18 years of age and must have previous proven experience in horse care and stable management. You will be required to carry out general yard duties including handling horses to and from the fields, rug changes, mucking out, prepping feeds, haynets and water buckets as well as maintaining a clean and tidy yard. You must be more than capable of working independently and be able to communicate diplomatically with clients. We provide a mix of full and assisted DIY livery therefore the workload can vary depending upon individual daily requirements. There will be no riding or travelling involved.

A full Driving Licence and own vehicle is preferrable as the closest bus route is quite a distance to walk.

Hours of work will be 10 hours per week over two days on a split shift basis and will include one weekend day. The role does require a certain amount of flexibility to accomodate ad hoc requests plus the ability to provide occassional annual or unplanned leave cover.

This post is a permanent position after successfully completing a 12 week probationary period. Attractive terms and conditions.

Be aware that this is a manual position that requires a good level of strength and fitness and we work in all weathers so only apply if you are prepared to handle it.

To register your interest please email your CV to Sarah at [email protected]

Closing date for applications Friday 19th April.

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview w/c 22nd April.

Pretty exhausting day preparing for our show this Sunday.

The dog show arena is sorted, parking plans sorted, signage sorted, PA system sorted, access and egress points sorted, rosettes and sashes sorted.

Still lots more to do tomorrow but all is looking good 👍

The weather has tried its hardest to sabotage us but we won't be beaten this time.
The fields are holding up well with only the gateways suffering so we have sourced track boards to allow safe access and egress for vehicles and have created alternative access points for horses and pedestrians to avoid the mud 😁

Only a few hours left to get any pre-entries in at a reduced price of £11 per class. Entries in the day are £15 per class.

The cash prize pot for Supreme and Reserve Champions is looking healthy already but the more entries we get, the bigger the pot will be 😃

Looking forward to seeing lots of new faces 😀

Looking to practice for area festivals next weekend?

20m x 60m arena on grass

20m x 40m arena on grass

Both available for hire.

£10 for 30 minutes.

Dressage Results - Sunday 23 July 2023
Big appreciation and loud applause justified for all the hardy competitors who braved the relentless rain this morning.
Well done to you all! It was touch and go whether to go ahead but it was well worth the misery to see the absolute joy on the faces of those who took part. A lot of familiar faces from last year's series and such a pleasure to see the progress you are all making.
Hoping to see you all and some new faces next month

23/07/2023

You did it!!!

You brave (or should that be foolish) lovely bunch of people.

Well done to everyone who took part in the wettest dressage competition you will hopefully ever endure.

You all did amazing and deserve medals - rosettes all round will have to do though 🤣

A massive thank you to Laura Mathieson-Pybus for standing in at very short notice to judge for us. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you and your support was outstanding 💕

A huge thank you to our resident caller who stood at the letter A for over 3 hours in the relentless rain and kept (almost) everyone right.

Results will be posted later today as someone forgot to bring the laptop home in their rush to get changed out of the second set of wet clothes 🙄🤔🤦‍♀️

Thank you all - you are heros 🏅🏆🏅🏆🏅🏆

23/07/2023

So it is definitely a miserable day but the ground is nice and we are good to run.

See you all soon.

PS - bring a rain coat 🙈

Good luck to all 😊

It’s the middle of winter and our geldings herd aren’t waiting at the gate! It’s lovely to see them enjoying good quality grass, especially in the cold and dark months!🐴🌾🌗❄️
