Were closed for a wee while to recover from illness and Abbie is away on holiday! Back to work Wednesday 22nd All our horses are having a holiday too, Blue, Babs, Tedward and Arthur are seemingly enjoying theirs!

No saddle or bridle, just a headcollar! Whoever said Gloria is slow and doesn't listen just need to learn where to find the buttons... Gloria loves a good rider!

Some of the ponies went out showjumping today at Ardnacashel and did fabulous! Sprite took it all in her stride and looked after Anie brilliantly as it was her first show!
