It’s the British Show Pony Society summer champs next week.
Luna needs to rebuild her confidence after being overcome by nerves last week. Rus hasn’t jumped a course since 🤷🏻♀️😬 and I have barely ridden Finn since his trip to The All England Jumping Course, Hickstead soooooo… A good harrow followed by about two hours course building in the rain.
Available to hire, £15. Or two horses for £20. Please don’t let my efforts be in vain 😂
What better way to celebrate a win and a hoys ticket than a flat out gallop in the championship?!

Would anybody like cheap and cheerful arena hire this weekend or one evening? I have a course again. £15. Second horse £5.
There is the option to request date and time from the tabs at the top of the page, but if you can’t find it, drop me a message.
Making the most of the summer fields and the good weather. So lucky to have these great native mountain and moorland working hunter ponies.

Who else knows a mare like this?

A lovely little Dartmoor pony here for holiday livery this week.
When I see an Exmoor pony #GiveItToMe
Today we had Nicola from Meynell Bespoke Saddles visit the yard to fit new saddles, check saddles, adjust saddles, and fit for new bridles. I’ve lost count of how many she viewed.
Unfortunately George (Moonpenny Cassini) was unavailable for his appointment. But he hopes this red rosette from NPS Area 12 is a good enough excuse.

Frithesden Alberti Bass ex Lilac which makes him half brother to Rus (Moonpenny Aquarius, Frithesden Phoenix ex Lilac) and therefore a half-uncle to Moonpenny Delphinus (Moonpenny Aquarius ex Frithesden Poppy)

Tell me you have a TB without telling me you have a TB
Homebred Peach has been a slow burner due to lack of time. I need to do more with her now that she’s five. She’s grown up to be such a stunner too 😍#forgehillsariana #diaryofayardfairy
Eggs are now tucked under the hedge by the gate to keep them out of the sun. Please bring a tub/box and leave your money in the bucket.
Jack has been a FORGE “employee” for over 10 years. He’s an excellent worker and has kept the rodent population at bay. Unfortunately he’s been bitten on the leg (rat? another cat?) and is now on box rest and medicine due to a nasty abscess. He was so lame (completely non-weigh bearing) we were worried he might have broken it so it was a relief to be told he wouldn’t need an X-ray. I didn’t fancy trying to rehab an outdoor cat with a broken leg. Although if that was what we needed to do then that is what we would have done as he’s a very popular member of the team.
Summer fields are looking good!!!! Won’t be long until we are out overnight.
Still looking for the perfect assisted DIY livery to join us. Shared paddocks, rotated for summer and winter (3 max, mixed gender). Indoor stabling. Huge tack room. Hay included.
I just had to steal this photo and share this!!!!
FORGE Livery member, Poppy, an honorary member of Team Exmoor (because her pony is a Morgan)/Team Moonpenny, had the most exciting day today. Kitted out in her Team Moonpenny HOYS hoodie (thank you J S Teamwear ) she not only accompanied her friend to Cheltenham for the PC pony racing, she also led her around the parade ring.
Beautiful weather for a day at the races.
Pinched the photo of them in their purple gear so had to cover up the child that isn’t mine. Poppy isn’t either but she’s like a sister to my girls so she’s therefore half mine 😂😍
Edit: Please request and date and time by clicking on “about” and scrolling down to services.
Course is up and I’ve fixed the booking issue. (I hope). £15 for one hour. Planning to leave the course up until Notts County Show (11th May).
You must poo pick immediately. Do not ride over it.
You may change the height of the fences, move fillers in/out, and even adjust the striding of the double but please ensure you leave the course ready for the next person to use.
Many thanks to my two hirers today.
I might have sorted it…. It’s under “about”. Please could I have some volunteers to test this please.
It doesn’t work for John when he’s accessing via safari. But seems to work for me on the app.
I’ve been very busy the past few days. More paddocks to do today. Hopefully it’s a bit warmer today; yesterday I was frozen 🥶
If I build a course who would like to hire this weekend, next week, or the weekend after? £15
