Here are some reasons to start or keep up your riding:
Social Value:
Riding schools can have a positive social impact in many ways, including:
Riding schools can help participants develop social skills, such as communication and leadership
Riding schools can help children and young people feel a sense of belonging and acceptance.
Improving mental and physical health
Riding can improve quality of life, sleep, and motor skills. It can also help with anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Riding can help build self-esteem and confidence.
Riding schools can create a strong volunteer culture, where participants give back and are trained and upskilled.
Riding schools can be diverse in their audiences and business models.
Riding schools can help vulnerable children at risk from negative influences.
Hippotherapy, or the use of horses for therapeutic or rehabilitative treatment, can reduce chronic pain and enhance motor functions.
Caregivers of individuals with disabilities can also report enhanced wellbeing from participating in equestrian activities.
We would love to hear your feedback either in comments or private message us.
The Grinch has not just stolen Christmas! ๐He also ran away with the shavings!
TODAYS LESSONS ARE CANCELLED!
Due to the weather forecast, we have taken the decision to close for all lessons today. The safety of our clients and horses is paramount and the risk today is too high.
As you can imagine stopping lessons causes a significant loss of income and horses still need the same level of care and staffing.
We will try to rearrange lessons for you, please bare with us as we have the horses still to sort, then we will get in the office and put the heater on!
Look online for our Christmas events and pony wish list. ๐
Fireworks
Our Ponies are amazing. We keep them in, have all lights on and have loud music playing.
Itโs been a long day!
Inspection day means all hands on deck to get every horses ready for inspection, with an early morning start and late evening lessons we are all pretty exhausted.
We are pleased to say that all our horses have passed their annual vetting for our licence.
Day 2 on the first field of cut hay. Stephen waited until the initial dew had gone, then started to turn and air the hay with the โTedderโon the back of the tractor. This process allows an even dry throughout the grass. The second field was cut as the forecast is still looking good.
Willow is looking forward to our Easter Egg Hunt tomorrow! ๐๐ฃ๐
