Finally some sunshine, just look at these gorgeous shiny horses😍

As most of you know, I’ve been a little busy recently and have taken a step back from work. Please do excuse the lack of replies, I should have hopefully got back to everyone now. (Do let me know if I have missed you)

Little Oliver arrived 5 weeks ago and I’m now back on horse duties! We’re adapting really well to our new routine.

Cally looked after us out hacking right up until the week before he was born, she was incredibly happy to finally meet him on the other side🥰

✨Horsey friends, please share✨

After being messed around on multiple occasions now, I’m asking again in hope of a mutual friend maybe offering what we’re looking for🙈.

We’re looking for a loan horse, this could be short term, long term or lwvtb for the perfect match.
To join us at home, Courtway Equestrian (Exeter), living with my mare.

To suit mum & Sam, for happy hacking and light schooling.
If the horse is capable, fun rides and low level competing with me would be fantastic. However, not essential.

Must be a confidence giver/ suitable for mum who’s still learning the ropes.

✨ 15.3- 16.2hh (to fit in my trailer)
✨ Must travel on the left in a trailer
✨ No health issues
✨ Easy to do on the ground
✨ Turnout with my gentle mare
✨ Good with dogs

Looks and age aren’t important to us, just a genuine/ happy horse to join our family.

I’m running out of time due to our current loan returning home in the near future.
I’m equally happy to consider a short term arrangement with a clients horse, who’s previously been here with me on schooling or holiday livery.

13/01/2024

✨Available at weening, end of March✨

Now taking deposits for the following:

Cheddar & Stilton- unregistered (brothers)

Cracker- Registered

Wendy- Registered 2yo Nanny

The boys are being handled daily, very sociable and playful chaps. Can be banded or left as Billy’s.

CPH number is required and they must go as pairs unless you have other goats.

Exeter.

🌟2023🌟

I’d just like to thank all of my lovely clients for the most wonderful, horse filled year.
Many gorgeous, well behaved ponies have come to stay for their holidays or training this year. We’ve had a blast!

Although I’m having no horses in from now until next year, I am still doing home visits so please don’t hesitate to book your dates in. I also have availability throughout December and January🥰.

I’m also offering a few more services for the next few months:
🐴 Yard tidy
🐴 Tack cleaning
🐴 Pony pamper sessions

I’ve also attached some of my favourite photo’s throughout the year, see if you can spot your ponies 👀❤️

Good news for all my previous doggy clients🐶

I will be offering doggy day and holiday care from home again, after a break to concentrate on the horsey side of my business.

This is mainly for previous clients, due to the location of our home. Good with horses and open fields is a must! However I may consider new clients, if the dogs suit our outdoor lifestyle🐴

I’ll also be offering the following new services in the Exeter area:

🐰 Small animal visits (including reptile)
🐷 Livestock holiday cover/ small holding
🐶 Dog walking/ day visits

I have experience working with a huge variety of animals, working in the industry for over 10 years.

My diary is officially open, I can’t wait to be reunited with your fluffy friends and hopefully meet some new ones!

Good morning🌻

Just a reminder to all the horses booked in for June, deposits are now due. Thank you to everyone who has already done so!

Also, due to the huge increase in costs for horse bedding, I will now only include straw in all livery packages.
For any horse that’s in need of shavings, this must be supplied and paid for, prior to drop off.
For longer stays (1 month +) , I will be able to supply but all costs must be covered.

First time riding Archie in the school, not a hoof out of place😇

01/03/2023

Last week was hard work with these guys, making sure all 24 were weighed and wormed!

So yesterday consisted of a well deserved pamper and some handling practice for the foals.

Featuring a very smiley Yasmine, who follows me around like a dog🥰

Archie enjoying a plod around the block. He’s been used as a companion for the past few years.

You wouldn’t even know he hasn’t been ridden in that time, what a dude😎

28/01/2023

I wonder if I’ll be able to resist buying another little pony this year?👀

So sad to see Juno go home this morning!

She’s been my best friend for the past 5 weeks, I’ve enjoyed every second of breaking her in.

She’s now more then ready to start her adventures at home with her lovely owners.

A very bright future ahead for this gorgeous girl, I’m so looking forward to having her back when she’s ready to be introduced to the schooling world🥰

27/10/2022

I say this a lot… but I really do adore my job!🥰

22/10/2022

How awesome is baby Juno?!

This is her first ever hack, the third time she’s been sat on and ridden properly (the other two times we went around the yard).

Cool as a cucumber😎 Big thanks to Sam for walking with us.
