🐴 Update on Our Future at Folly Farm EC 🐴
As many of you know, the land we run our riding school on has been going through the appeal process for planning permission.
While the final decision is still pending, the reality is that the ongoing construction work from the Great Haddon development has already changed our environment. Sadly, our current site is no longer the safe, peaceful home it once was for our horses. Increased foot traffic on the public path through Folly Farm, constant construction noise, and the changing surroundings all bring extra risks and stress for them.
Our horses’ welfare has always been – and always will be – our number one priority. With the area now set to become a fully built-up development, it’s clear this is not a sustainable site for a riding school going forward.
As we shared previously, we have secured potential new land locally in Farcet (only a couple of miles away, though we can’t yet share the exact location). This larger site will offer a far nicer and more peaceful environment for our horses and clients, with improved facilities, better hacking, and the space to provide enhanced services. Most importantly, it will give our horses the calm, safe, and happy surroundings they deserve.
We’re really excited about this next chapter and look forward to keeping you updated. Thank you for your continued support 💛
