Another set of dedicated riders today - well done everyone 💜

24/11/2024

Buster is now almost out the school.

I’ve been approached about people potentially wanting to loan but only a couple of days a week.

If I can find 2 x people to take 2/3 days each, I will happily let Buster be shared. This is still on a full loan basis and commitments like mucking out etc must be taken on in some form, although we are happy to help and do him, we would like more than someone who is just going to turn up, ride and go. We would still like him for 5 x hours a week (max) for select RDA clients though.

Message Siân for details please.

All this weather, in and out of stables…. It’s exhausting for the baby! 😴

It’s finally time for her to be separated from Bella next week. She’s grown rather big and it’s tricky fitting the pair in there now! Wish us luck 😭💜

🚨 Saturday lessons 🚨

Lessons are going ahead as normal.

We’ll keep an eye on the weather throughout the day as-well.

If you don’t want to ride, we can do stable management or adapt sessions to suit.

Dont forget waterproofs ☔️

When the waters frozen and the child is moaning she wants a drink…and you basically resort to trying anything 😂

Good try Bella, you just needed to stamp your foot in it 🙈💜

🎅🏼 Are you joining our Letters to Santa ride and Grotto at Hundleby Equestrian Centre - Riding School & Pony Club

Do you want to join? Read to find out how 🙋🏼‍♀️

Once again this year, our Ponies have been given the very important task of being Santa’s elves from now until Christmas! 🤶🏼

Head Elf phoned Sara and asked if they would like to help lots of children write a letter to Santa and then help the children deliver it to make sure Santa got it on time!

📝 Children will arrive at Hundleby Elf Headquarters and be greeted by a member of staff appointed by Mrs Clause to look after the Pony Elves. From there the children will be taken to one of our Grottos where they will find special Santa paper and envelopes addressed that are guaranteed to reach him in time.

Our Head Elf and her chosen helpers will help you write your Special letter with all your Christmas wishes on and get you ready to post it.

Once you’re happy with your wish list, you will go to the stables and meet your trusted Elf Pony that will take you to post your letter 🖊

BUT first, you’ve got to groom him and can have lots of pictures taken!

After a quick meet and greet, with a flick over with a brush to make sure they’ll pass Santa’s standards, you will jump on and have a ride to find the special Santa postbox to post your letter.

Once you’re happy your letter is on its way to Santa with the help of the Elves, you will ride back to the stables, have your photos taken with our Elf ponies and pick up your present that Santa dropped off earlier for you!🎁

Mummy and Daddy need to pay us £15 the experience will last about 45-60mins. There is limited sessions available . A minimum of 3 people on each experience and a maximum of 6 due to limited ponies. Please note on 22nd we have a professional photographer present as well.

📅 1st :
9:15 - 10:15

📅 8th:
1pm - 2pm
2pm - 3pm

📅 22nd (special day - £20 per slot. 1 x digital download included from professional photographer)
10am - 11am
2pm - 3pm

In the event of adverse weather, you will be moved to a different date. Should you cancel 48 hours before, you will get your money back minus a £10 deposit.

Please message or text 07584 047340 to book in 📧

…and our final full loan for now!

🤎 Demi 🤎

Demi is in his mid twenties and therefore is being integrated out of the school now, but is in no way ready to retire! Therefore he is available for full loan 5 days a week (already has someone 2 days).

Demi is your ultimate school master horse that has been an asset to the riding school. He’s a complete gem that can have your nan, your toddler, your friend that can’t ride - all have a go!

He loves to jump and hack, and will go round the school as many times as you wish. HOWEVER that all being said, I want to find him a family that will love him and do a variety of things with him, NOT just school him and jump him 24/7 because he’s good.

He’ll hack alone or in company and loves trips out in the box to go on adventures!

The family will need to commit to still having lessons and these will be discounted as if you were a livery having a lesson on your own pony.

The opportunity to go out with the other owners and compete is there and we’d encourage you to join in! You would be treated like an owner and Demi would therefore have his own field etc and stay in the “owners” barn.

Mucking out etc is all open to discussion.

£350-£400 per calendar month depending on commitments.

Bills such as feet, worming, feed etc is all included so no hidden extra ££. You will be invoiced on the 1st of every month or paying upfront for 6 months is fine to commit.

Please text Siân on 07584 047340 to register interest. The very best of families wanted so don’t be offended if you aren’t picked.

🖤🩶 BUSTER 🩶🖤

For FULL loan to stay at the yard (please read for details).

Buster is a 15h cob. He means the absolute WORLD to us and we are looking for a family to full loan him from here. He is already loaned 2 days per week, but we would also like someone for the other 5.

Buster is your PERFECT family pony. He’ll allow anyone from your toddler on, right through to your nan and everyone in between.

Buster loves the beach, going out to competitions, hunting, horse ball - he just loves to please. But remember he’s a pony, he has a brain and whilst he’s an angel 90% of the time - he can be cheeky too - which we love!! Buster is fed up of pure school work and wants a varied life of having fun.

Ideally I’d like a family to commit to him for at least 6-12 months and perhaps use this as a stop gap between riding school and buying their own to “test the waters”.

I don’t want someone that is seeing a good pony here and will use and abuse him. I want a family that wants a pony to love, spoil, treat as their own and show a level of commitment to. I don’t want him jumping / schooling everyday because he’s good - he loves a variety of work. Equally I don’t want him riding 7 days a week, he wants a family that don’t mind giving him a day off but still want to groom etc!

The family will need to commit to still having lessons and these will be discounted as if you were a livery having a lesson on your own pony.

The opportunity to go out with the other owners and compete is there and we’d encourage you to join in! You would be treated like an owner.

Mucking out etc is all open to discussion.

£350 per calendar month for the 5 days.

Bills such as feet, worming, feed etc is all included so no hidden extra ££. You will be invoiced on the 1st of every month or paying upfront for 6 months is fine to commit.

I want the very best of families for Buster, so please don’t be offended if you aren’t picked. I know what type of loan I want and I will hold out until I find his family to spoil him like he deserves.

Serious enquiries only please to 07584 047340 or inbox Siân only.

🖤🩶 Bella 🩶🖤

For FULL loan to stay at the yard (please read for details).

Bella is a 13.1 cob mare. She means the absolute WORLD to us and we are looking for a family to full loan her from here.

Bella is your PERFECT family pony. She’ll allow anyone from your toddler on, right through to your nan and everyone in between. She loves to jump and will pop up to 90cm (we wouldn’t want her doing more) comfortably. But equally she’ll plod around the school and pop a small cross pole just the same.

She loves the beach, going out to competitions, hunting, horse ball - she just loves to please. But remember she’s a pony, she has a brain and whilst she’s an angel 90% of the time - she can be cheeky too - which we love!!

She’s never strong, stupid or nasty in any way. She’s easy to do and is generally just a perfect family pony.

She is now ready for weaning from Banoffee and I’d like to find her a 12-18 month loan before she goes back in foal in spring 2026. Ideally I’d like a family to commit to her for at least 6-12 months or the full 18, and perhaps use this as a stop gap between riding school and buying their own to “test the waters”.

I don’t want someone that is seeing a good pony here and will use and abuse her. I want a family that wants a pony to love, spoil, treat as their own and show a level of commitment to. I don’t want her jumping everyday because she’s good - she loves a variety of work. Equally I don’t want her riding 7 days a week, she wants a family that don’t mind giving her a day off but still want to groom etc!

The family will need to commit to still having lessons and these will be discounted as if you were a livery having a lesson on your own pony.

The opportunity to go out with the other owners and compete is there and we’d encourage you to join in! You would be treated like an owner and Bella would therefore have her own field etc and stay in the “owners” barn.

Mucking out etc is all open to discussion.

£350-£400 per calendar month depending on if we can have her 1 x day a week (approx 5 hours in total).

Bills such as feet, worming, feed etc is all included so no hidden extra ££. You will be invoiced on the 1st of every month or paying upfront for 6 months is fine to commit.

I want the very best of families for Bella, so please don’t be offended if you aren’t picked. I know what type of loan I want and I will hold out until I find her family to spoil her like she deserves.

She has done her riding school days but this is a pony I am NOT willing to sell and therefore giving us another baby in 18 months (after a rest from banoffee the monkey!!!) is on my agenda, but I need a job for her in the interim as she’s far too good to sit in a field and she would quite literally make any child’s dreams come true ❤️

Serious enquiries only please to 07584 047340 or inbox Siân only.

Earlier in September, Sian was asked by EC Pro to help them with a couple of questions for the The British Horse Society conferences.

I thought we'd share the video to give you an insight into why we moved to EC Pro and how its helped the business in terms of booking and efficiency.

A HUGE thank you to EC Pro for involving us - we were delighted to be involved! :)

BLIMEY what a day💨

Today started off with a very early hack out for Jumanji and Ziggy - thank you Jordan and zig for giving me and Jumanji a lead!

Then it was time for the vet to come and do a riding school inspection on the two new Bransby ponies for the school - they’ve now passed and will be used from Friday for lessons 🤩

We also sedated Laci and Lulu to get them clipped. Lulu is a new horse without all her hair and looks gorgeous!

…and then it was time for little Banoffee to get her passport, microchip and official name.

I’m absolutely delighted to have FINALLY gotten my dream of having my own Prefix and registering her as “Mellieħa Bay Biscoff” 🥹❤️

Mellieħa bay is a place I have the most amazing memories with my grandad, and it’s a place that holds a special place in my heart. To finally have a home bred pony with the prefix that I’ve always wanted just makes her a teeny bit special, and a nod to my grandad who made all my pony dreams growing up, happen 🥹. This is the start of breeding special ponies like this little girlie and I like to think my grandads here doing it with me, like we did all those years ago 🥹

Although he’s to blame for my grey pony obsession as it was always his dream to own a dapple grey Connemara. I think I’ve lived that for him don’t you 🙈🥹🩷

Jordan and I were truly dream team today. Thanks for your help as always Jordan and taking the lead whilst I was at work! 💆

Over 16’s only I’m afraid 😊

(Please note the timings is wrong on the website, I need to amend it - it’s 1:45pm on a Monday for an hour) 🩷

We would like to introduce our Therapeutic Riding Sessions, aimed at doing the above - giving you the opportunity to have some time to yourself and spend time in an idyllic and peaceful setting surrounded by horses.
