💜 Wishing Sarah, Alan, Flynn and Jess good luck for the future in their new home, on the Wirral. Sarah has been a valued livery and friend for the last 23 years, and since marring Alan, bought Jessica as a companion for Flynn.
Flynn has been on the school for the last 7 years and is the most fantastic, safe and clever horse you could ever find. So many of you will have ridden Flynn in the past and recently up to last Saturday. He always loved his work and still does. Jess wasn’t on the school, she came as a safe hack for Alan to ride, but Flynn and Jess are inseparable, so to go to semi retirement together, is perfect. You will probably remember Eddie and Mr Darcy, also owned by Sarah, who gave them both a fantastic life.
Anyway, I’m sure you will all wish them well in their new venture.
All our love
Pat, Carole & all the staff x 💜

A SAD DAY YESTERDAY 😞
Candy our ‘Little Candle’ died very peacefully. We bought Candy in year 2000 from Doug Aldred in Preston aged about 8 years old. Candy was a lovely pony and had a funny way of going, we said she looked like a sewing machine shuffling along!
Lots of children learned to ride on her and a few loaned her for a period of time, she wouldn’t tolerate fools but loved is staff, she always entered our shows and took children safely all day.
About 7 years ago Cherie our next door neighbour lost her horse and was left with her other horse all alone, she asked me if I had a pony who could be a companion so I thought of Candy who deserved a nice retirement. So there she stayed living the life of luxury for 7 lovely years then ended her days in the sunshine surrounded by the people who loved her.
Pat and Chris stayed with her as well til the end. Candy we will never forget you.
Love Pat, Carole and Staff xx

Timmy didn’t want washing off today after a lovely hack in the sunshine…instead, he wanted to drink from the hosepipe to distract Carole from cold hosing him down 🐴

A great day we had last Wednesday with an introduction to jumping a course and the importance of riding forward.
And then spent time learning to plait 🐴
