Has anyone lost a fleece gilet? Tell me the colour and I will reunite you x

Should the worst happen.. imagine if your horses got loose and injured someone else or someone’s property

This happens a surprising amount

Anyone visiting High Plains needs to have some kind of public liability insurance

BHS gold membership is a great way of having this while also providing lots of benefits such as support and education for horse owners and caring for welfare of horses less lucky than our own
