After a massive change in unexpected circumstances - I have a space for broodmare and foal. Our mare foaled a week ago and looking forward I would love them both to have friends. Multiple daily check and handling, secure foal fenced field, large field shelter and natural shelter.
Prefer once weaned, foal can stay and mare to return home ??

Open to ideas and suggestions

Hopefully someone will read this - to the absolute bunch of A #% #% # that just run across our Barge Farm Equestrian - on the foot path, walking on my own with an injured dog on week 7 of 12 rehab !! What an absolute bunch of inconsiderate, rude and nasty group - 20+ people with dogs - I shouted to ask you to walk as he is nervous and post surgery - bloody ignored and when I picked him up some fat old frumpy bloke said “ you will make him lazy !! “ there is a reason you are fat and frumpy ….. And you have spayed some sort of powder all over the farm - learn to read a map of at least foot path signs !! W #€%{ #%$

Good Morning Ponies ❤️
We have started our ‘turn around’ here at Barge Farm! Most of our stables horses are now back to living in at night. But our outstanding horses are enjoying their nights and mornings with this stunning view 🐴 (this is just a few of our amazing FLAT paddocks) 🤗

The leaves are starting to fall at Barge Farm. Nature is wonderful! 🍁

Winter is creeping in here at Barge ❄️

In preparation we are rotating our fields and horses 🐴. This is just ONE of our fields at Barge which currently houses our group of retired geldings 👴🏽.
They are very happy 😃

Chloe has been part of the team since 2010. In this time she has completed a L3 Extended National Diploma in Horse Management & Care achieving a Distinction*. She then went on to study Law with Criminology LLB at Nottingham Trent University achieving a 2:1.

Chloe has remained a part of the team throughout her studies. She has recently acquired her own young horse Charlie (pictured below). She bought him as an unbroken 3yr old and between herself and help from team members he is now in full work and coming along well.

Chloe enjoys the day to day routines of the yard and general horse care. Having done a lot of work with her own horse she enjoys a challenge and improving a horse’s way of going both on the ground and in the saddle.

Having Chloe as part of the team for nearly 10 years has been such a pleasure and we feel very lucky to have her.

Our amazing boss lady 💓

Ok, maybe just one more today...

Julia Tilley...

Julia set up Chalfont valley equestrian in 2000... she continued to expand the business and make a fantastic success of it.

Julia has a real passion for eventing and has in more recent years, discovered an interest and real talent for teaching. Julia is patient, kind and extremely knowledgeable and helps every rider get the best from their horse. Julia is an accomplished horsewoman, pictured here with her youngster, Mouse, who she hopes to continue to event next year - we think he’s going to be a cracker!

Julia treats her staff like family and in return, her staff give her their all. Chalfont valley equestrian has always been about helping people really enjoy their hobby, in whatever way they wish and equally, Julia helps get the best out of her staff... shhhh, don’t tell her, but we think she’s the best Boss going!! 🤫🤫🤫
