Our brilliant Buddy, he’s a superstar 🌟💙

We have been flat out with group lessons, private lessons, birthday parties, pony days, horse therapy groups, training days and so much more!!

We’ve met some wonderful new riders, returning riders and of course our lovely regulars! The Alton Piece horses and ponies have been throughly pampered and spoilt, they’re so happy and content it’s clear they’ve enjoyed the holiday as much as we have 🏇🏻

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us, it’s a privilege to be able to share our passion ❤️❤️

If you love horses and would like to get involved, drop us a message!💫

Today we held a course for our riders who want to progress to horse ownership and perhaps even a career with horses.

It’s been a glorious day for it, and now they know how to trot horses up for inspection, work over poles in trot and canter, and the process of buying their own horse, amongst other things!

Of course we finished the day off with a bit of fun in the sun ba****ck, showing of their fantastic seats and incredible balance!!🐴☀️

26/07/2024

Some of our wonderful team (the ones who aren’t on holiday🍦) popped in to play ponies🐴

If you’ve been with us from the very beginning of your riding journey, these girls will have definitely had a huge input!

They’re all welcoming, knowledgeable and always ready to help with big smiles on their faces! They love these horses like their own and we couldn’t do it without them.

Thank you girls 💓

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WIN A PRIVATE LESSON?🐴

A lovely lady booked and paid for a half hour private lesson. Unfortunately due to health issues she is no longer able to take the lesson. She refused a refund and very generously asked to pay the lesson forward for somebody else to win! She particularly wanted to help someone who may be struggling for whatever reason, although it’s open to everyone.

Kindness clearly still exists in the world ❤️

Perhaps you know someone who has always dreamed of riding but never had the chance, or do you know someone always thinking of others and finally deserves a treat for themselves?

So, for your chance to win a half hour private lesson for yourself or someone else…

Today was Pony Day! The ponies had a super day being pampered, some beautiful horseshoes were painted and all the treasure was found… we’ve had a very busy day!!🦄🎨🍬

We are always so grateful that lots of you want to join us for the day ❤️ The places were snapped up quickly, but it’s not long until the summer holidays where we will have plenty of dates available… so if you missed out this time keep an eye on our page for more Pony Days soon!

Now for a sit down with a cup of tea ☕️😴😂

Today we’ve had a fantastic time running Horse Skills Day, for those progressing with their riding, and wanting to learn more about stable management.

The group learned about tacking up, grooming, hoof care and working horses on the lunge. They had a polework lesson and of course had to try a bit of ba****ck!!

Thanks for coming guys, it’s great to see so much interest in improving your skills not just with your riding, but in the care of the horses too. We’re very lucky to have such enthusiastic budding equestrians at Alton Piece 💓

We’re already planning the next Horse Skills Day for the summer!

ZEBRA RIDING LESSONS 🦓 …no we are joking😉 but Buddy has a smart new rug!

Two of the horses here (Buddy & Griff) suffer from hypersensitivity to midge bites. This is also known as Sweetitch and means that anytime an annoying critter bites them, it’s really itchy and sore ☹️🦟🪰

We have tried lots of lotions and potions, and even a vaccine… but the very best way we have found to keep them comfortable and happy is to cover them up so the flies can’t get to them.

The horses long lost cousins, zebras, are one step ahead. Zebras’ distinctive markings disrupt flies vision, making it difficult for them to land and bite. This is why you may often see horses in zebra print fly rugs!

So if you spot a zebra at Alton Piece - take a second look it’s probably Buddy 😂

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas from Alton Piece🎄🎅🏼🌟

We just wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to everyone involved at the stables.

To our fantastic and loyal riders we appreciate your support all year round, we really are touched by the kind words in cards and messages, it’s lovely to be able to share our happy place ❤️

As ever the whole Alton Piece team we are so grateful for all your hard work and dedication, it just wouldn’t happen without you and your enthusiasm, commitment and smiling faces. You love the ponies like your own and it definitely shows🦄

Thank you to everyone who sent cards, gifts and also treats for the horses! We’ve had a busy morning making sure they’re all fed, watered and happy, they’ve all loved tucking into extra apples, carrots and treats 🥕🍏 they’re the best horses, each with their own personalities, lighting faces up in a very special way 💫

Thank you everyone for making Alton Piece the place it is, we’re looking forward to 2024 with you all!
