🐴 Oreo update! 🐴

This week was a big week for Oreo as we started the weaning process and introduced him to his new friends.

Slightly alarmingly, he is almost the same size as both Hero and Luca despite only being 6 months old!

Put your bets in the comments as to how big you think he is going to end up. His mum Harper is 13.2hh but we have no idea what his dad is 🫣

Harper has also settled in well with her new friends and has not been too stressed about the process.

How cute is our little gang of babies! 😍

🌟🏆 Shoutout to Richard! 🏆🌟

A massive congratulations to our amazing dressage steward and long-term friend to CEC, Richard, for winning the Linda Tarrant Award for Services to Equestrianism and Volunteering.

Richard has been a dedicated volunteer at CEC for many, many years. Now in his eighties he still comes twice a month to steward our dressage competitions and often drops by to keep the yard free of weeds and do other odd jobs. He has helped lead children on woodland rides with visiting charities and still rides himself from time to time. Richard also volunteers at major events including Windsor Horse Show, Cornbury Horse Trials and other BE events. As a committed BHS member and volunteer, he reports equestrian access issues and supports their work. Whatever the task, Richard remains cheerful and reliable and is deeply appreciated by everyone he helps.

Thank you and congratulations Richard! 🌟

💇Jumba and Lynkan looking super smart with their new clips!💇

We didn't know if either had been clipped before, but both stood like a rock.

These boys have settled in so well since joining the team and we're a little bit obsessed with them ❤
