Indie has decided the storm didn’t do enough damage so she’s helping knock some more fences 😂🙈

❗️NOTICE ❗️

Unfortunately the weather is against us and thanks to storm Eowyn we have a hole in our roof 🙈 so we will remained closed this weekend to repair damages and keep our ponies safe.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused 🐴🐴

Cold this morning with some frost and a few wintry showers appearing on the radar across high ground in the north which will soon clear leaving a nice bright morning. Rain will move in this afternoon with some wintry showers mainly of sleet. Wrap up as it will feel chilly today, highest temperature will be 8C in a fresh southerly breeze. Have a good day.

Todays vibes 🌬️💨 😂

❗️⚠️ NOTICE ⚠️❗️

Due to the Red warning now in place for Friday we have decided to close, safety of our animals & riders are the most important thing to us.

Thanks for understanding & apologies for any inconvenience caused 🐴

That’s a first, an unprecedented nationwide red warning. Take it seriously see Met Éireann and the Met Office for details of all warnings. Sponsored by Gullion Ltd Loss Assessors and Surveyors and Mc Coys Bar and Off Licence

We will keep an eye on the progress of this storm, I will be in touch to reschedule if needed 😃

I have never seen anything like this before, the data coming through on the charts this morning is possibly record breaking, to give you an example the lowest ever recorded air pressure in Ireland was in Limerick on the 28th of November 1838 at at drop of 931.2 hpa
Current indicators are showing Storm Eowyn to drop very close to that point and maybe lower. This is going to be a very powerful event.sponsored by Gullion Ltd Loss Assessors and Surveyors and Mc Coys Bar and Off Licence

“Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.” (Dalai Lama)

Starting the day with a positive outlook can have both physical and mental benefits, it helps build resilience, making it easier to handle challenges and setbacks.

Did you wake up feeling the dread of the day? Try and focus on one positive thing in your life and feel the negative energy lift ☺️

Louie & Flash had a stunning sunset ride 🌅❤️

It was the perfect setting for a relaxing, therapeutic ride after a busy day at school 😃

Flash patiently waiting for his rider ❤️

We are so happy to be back out today 😃

Equine Assisted Learning isn’t always about riding, grooming & stable management are great ways to learn empathy & life skills 🐴

We don’t pressure our kids to ride, their time with the horses is whatever they want to do in a safe environment.

We encourage dreams, stories or we can be a listening ear helping our kids feel heard ❤️
