Starting a youngster’s education is all about clear communication and calm handling 🤍

This October, our learners have been helping the babies with their very first groundwork sessions, introducing them to personal space, leading, and simple cues.

These early lessons might look small, but they build the foundation for everything the horses will do in the future. At the same time, our learners gain first hand experience in reading body language, timing their aids, and working as a team to keep the youngsters relaxed and focused.

🍂🐴 Autumn means clipping time at the Orchard Equine College.

Our learners took on their first full clip (leaving legs on) and impressed us with the results.

🍂🐴 Horse Care: Autumn Coat Changes 🐴🍂

As autumn sets in, our horses start to grow their thick winter coats to stay warm through the colder months. While this is perfectly natural, it does mean a little extra care and attention is needed.

This month, our learners will be busy with grooming and clipping, gaining hands-on experience while learning:
- Why horses’ coats change with the seasons
- How regular grooming keeps coats healthy and horses comfortable
- When and why clipping might be needed to support work and wellbeing

Not only does this keep our horses looking and feeling their best, but it also gives our learners the chance to build skills, confidence, and stronger bonds with the horses. 🐎❤️

🍂 Hello, October! 🍂
Cooler mornings, golden leaves, and fresh routines. Our learners have really started to settle into the term here at Orchard Equine College. 🐴✨

From morning yard work to autumn hacks, every day brings new skills, new confidence, and plenty of pony cuddles along the way. 💛
Here’s to a season full of growth, learning, and (of course) a few muddy boots! 🍁

Looking Back on September at The Orchard 🍂

September has been a month of fresh faces, new routines, and plenty of progress here at The Orchard Equine College. Our learners have settled into the term with enthusiasm, developing their skills, gaining confidence, and building strong relationships with our horses and ponies.

We’re proud of what’s been achieved already, and we’re looking forward to continuing this journey of learning and growth as the autumn term unfolds.

Feeding Routines at The Orchard 🌳

Good nutrition underpins horse health and wellbeing, which is why feeding routines are such an important part of life at The Orchard.

Next week, our learners will be assisting Sophie from Saracen Horse Feeds with weighing our horses and reviewing their diets in preparation for the winter months. This will give them valuable insight into how feed plans are tailored to each pony’s individual needs, workload, and seasonal changes.

As part of their studies, learners also gain practical experience in preparing feeds , understanding the role of forage to measuring concentrates and supplements, while learning why consistency and accuracy are so important.

It’s applied knowledge that supports the welfare of our horses and equips learners with skills they will carry forward into the equine industry.

Science in the Stables 🧬

At The Orchard, science is part of everyday learning. Anatomy, nutrition, behaviour, and movement are explored not through textbooks, but through real horses and hands-on care.

This practical approach helps learners see how science applies in the real world, making it meaningful, engaging, and relevant to their future.

Today our learners and our ponies had the chance to enjoy a TheraPlate session as part of our their wellbeing and training programme.

The TheraPlate uses advanced vibration therapy to:

💫 Improve circulation and joint mobility
🌟 Aid muscle development and recovery
💫 Support injury prevention and rehabilitation
🌟 Promote relaxation and overall wellbeing

We also explored the science behind the technology and how it can play a role in maintaining the health and happiness of performance and leisure horses alike.

A huge thank you to Paige for delivering such an informative session and helping our learners deepen their knowledge of equine wellbeing. 💜🌿
