William and Casper coming down for some hay. They’ve been enjoying the sun on their backs and are snug and warm in their rugs 💙
Our first group this morning learning trot balance whilst hacking 🐎
The girls wanted to do some jumping and didn’t realise how big the jumps were until they got closer!! 🤣
Video 1: Roll it gently so they don’t crack🥚
Video 2: Roll it a bit harder, they’ve been well boiled🥚🥚
Video 3: Throw them high in the air so they might just crack on landing! 🥚🥚🐣
As someone said “you’ve hard boiled them too hard!” - we eventually got them all cracked!! 🐣🤣
What a great way to end the year with not one but two visits from Santa and Reindeer Bannock!!
Two pretty cold Christmas pony parties where the boys and girls (and ponies!) were all very well behaved and definitely on the good list!!
Lots of photos which I’ll share over a few posts.
A massive thank you to the team of Broomhill elves who work hard all year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR WHEN IT COMES - STAY SAFE AND WELL AND WE’LL SEE YOU IN JANUARY 🎅🏼🐎🤠🤞🏼
Swimming pool or car park?! Flash floods at 430 today 🌨🌊🌨🌊
Some of the girls trying to sweep the water out 🌨🌊🌨🌊
Flash floods in the shed today 😫
Hurlingdean Burn at 4.30pm today after the flash flooding
Well as 2020 draws to a close we’re sure you’ll all agree it won’t be a year forgotten anytime soon.
We would like to thank everyone who has supported Broomhill this year - lessons, pony keeping in touch packs, fund raising for the ponies, liveries, arena hirers, assisted dressage days, pony care days, pony birthday parties, pony camps and a special thank you to our massive team of volunteers. (It’s amazing what we’ve squeezed into our shorter year!)
Here’s hoping 2021 is a bit more predictable and that we can continue to have lots of fun!
Happy New Year everyone! 🤠🥳😍🐴
Reindeer Blue and ‘Santa Karen’ arriving (we had no one fooled for long!) But love to help Santa out at this time of year when he’s busy!!

Wishing our friends near and far a Happy Common Riding - a very different year - here we have ex-standard bearer Greg MacDougall casting the flag 💙❤️
A wee hello from William 🤣🎂
