Spread the love ❤️ 🐴

To the owner whose horse is stabled overnight:

You work so hard to ensure your horses needs are met so they can live in comfort, thank you for your dedication!

To the owner whose horse lives out :

Your horse is fortunate to have an owner that can provide them the space to roam and graze as nature intended.

To the owner who rugs their horse when cold weather :

Less grooming means more time to ride!

To the owner of the unrugged horse :

Their coats are fascinating how they adapt to the weather, aren’t they?!

To the rider who wears cheap riding leggings and rubber boots :

Good for you…. you know that your horse couldn’t care less what you are wearing!

To the ‘all the gear and no idea’ rider :

Wow! You look incredible, your horse has everything it could ever wish for! You don’t have to be a grand prix rider to wear matchy-matchy. Go, you!

To the rider who rides once in a while :

Brilliant! It is so difficult to fit horses in around the rest of our lives. It’s great that you make the time to do the most that you can with your horse!

To the rider who never rides their horse :

No problem. How lovely for your horse to spend its life being cuddled, groomed and grazing in the fields, you must have a wonderful relationship!

To the rider who trains with every professional and expert going :

What a wealth of knowledge and expertise you have access to!

To the self-taught rider :

You must be so proud. What an achievement!

To the professional rider :

You inspire me. Your results and rosettes are impressive. They are not won without hard work, commitment, sacrifice and talent. You deserve your success!

To the rider who has never won anything :

Who cares?! Your horse doesn’t! The passion you have for your sport is worth so much more than any material!

To the owner who keeps their horse spotlessly clean, neatly trimmed and pulled :

Marvellous! I applaud your attention to detail. Your horse looks beautiful!

To the owner whose horse is caked in mud and has dread locks :

I laugh with you! You know that horses love to roll and if you were to bath your horse today, you would find them in exactly the same mucky state again tomorrow.

🐴❤️

Arena hire with fun course setup, to resume from Wednesday 15th Jan after our freeze 🥶
PLEASE READ to keep everyone safe… these guidelines are not just while there’s a few cases around, but always should be adhered to to keep safe (note new rule, strictly no horses to be left tied to wagon or trailer other than tacking up. No nets outside of your vehicle ever) Don’t allow direct contact between your own horse and others. Avoid touching other horses, or wash/sanitise your hands before handling others again, including your own. No contact between your horse and people who have been handling other horses. Only use your own tack, rugs and equipment.
Provide your own food and forage, and carry a container of your own water. Do not hand graze on premises; when resting keep horses within your vehicle.
