Introducing April, Major and their owner Elinor!

April

April moved to Craigie early this summer and was joined shortly by Major. They are both loving the very relaxed atmosphere at the yard and April is regularly found snoozing in her stable. When not tucked in for the night they can be found out enjoying the hacking or schooling in the new arena.

‘The horses and I settled into Craigie very quickly and it feels like we have been here for a long time. The grooms are extremely helpful and treat the livery horses like their own. The hot water wash bay and solarium are amazing for keeping my cobs feathers lovely and clean. The yard is a fantastic base for progressing April’s education with the school and XC jumps and for the quieter life for Major with the endless hacking.’

We are looking forward to the 2022 season - we're sure you are too!

Happy Birthday Sparkles! @ Craigie Farm Livery Yard

Yesterday afternoon, Craigie horses and Craigie liveries were plaited and preened to within an inch of their lives, for the online Drum RDA virtual show.

It was exciting to step back into something of a showing environment for everyone, no matter how removed from normality it may have been.

Thank you to everyone for getting involved and to those who came along to help make it a roaring success. @ Craigie Farm Livery Yard

Orlando and Yard Manager, Nicola enjoyed an afternoon at Lindores Equestrian under the tutelage of Glen Lyon Equine Coaching .

We are incredibly lucky as a yard to be central to so many excellent equestrian facilities.

16/04/2021

Tucked away on the farm, the yard is a peaceful space to bring on young or nervous horses. With our soon-to-be-completed outdoor arena, we shan't want for anything, when it comes to a horse's education!

13/04/2021

We enjoy a fantastic community at Craigie.

Spending time at the stables is an excellent boost for mental health and we want the yard to be like a second home to our liveries, where they can relax and enjoy time with their equine friends.

💜 Riders Minds

Have you really enjoyed the warm weather if you haven't done a spot of sunbathing?

05/04/2021

Exciting developments at Craigie! Our brand new riding arena is moving on a pace, now that we are taking advantage of the dry weather 🌤

Our liveries and our own horses alike will be able to develop their flat and jumping skills on the purpose-built surface.

LIVERY SPOTLIGHT!

This is the fabulous Super Cob Jet!
Jet loves to go everywhere at 100 miles an hour and his Mum Louise likes to pretend that she doesn't 😉

"Since moving to Craigie, we have enjoyed getting our mojo back! We are loving the XC jumps & being able to gallop for miles. Really looking forward to getting out with the Craigie family to the fun rides and other exciting events! Both myself & Jet love it here, wish we had found it sooner!!" @ Craigie Farm Livery Yard

LIVERY SPOTLIGHT!

Tonight we introduce Murphy and his owner Elana .equestrian

Elana and Murphy are looking forward to the fun rides in summer and drag hunts over winter.

"We love Craigie especially
for the hacking you can go for miles & end up at the beach! We enjoy galloping through the forest & popping over the Craigie XC jumps. Before Murphy came to Craigie he never cantered and refused to jump now he’s loving life here and I can barely hold him back now 🤣x" @ Craigie Farm

LIVERY SPOTLIGHT!

🦄💕

This time it is the turn of the one and only Sparkles! Sparkles came to join us earlier this year with her little human Evelyn and Super Mum, Emily and is fast becoming a yard favourite!

Sparkles
Rising 4yo
Shetland Pony

"We joined Craigie livery yard in February this year with Sparkles; my 3 year old daughter Evelyn’s Shetland pony. We are usually found enjoying this fabulous yard and all it has to offer with a double buggy- baby in one side, puppy in the other, Evelyn riding about on Sparkles and Penelope the miniature dachshund keeping us in check! Some of Evelyn’s favourite things to do include ‘lead robing’ Sparkles around and around and around her paddock, and distracting wonderful yard manager Nicola from her work! Being able to just walk out the gate onto off road tracks and forest hacks is such a luxury that we take full advantage of.
We’ve had the warmest welcome into the Craigie yard community and feel very lucky we found this special yard. Sparkles is rising 4 years old so right at the beginning of her education, taking everything in her stride, so we’ve got lots to look forward to! Evelyn aspires to Sparkles becoming the fastest race horse in the world so we’ll start by working on that!

Emily, Evelyn & Thea" @ Craigie Farm

Here comes trouble 👀

13/03/2021

Derek working hard across one of the Craigie cross country courses, in anticipation of the British Eventing Official season starting in Scotland in 2021.
He is an enormous chap at 18.2hh, so makes jumps look pretty modest in size!

12/03/2021

Solariums have a plethora of benefits for our four legged friends.
Not only can they help to dry off after rainy or sweaty exercise, but they can help cold-backed horses to warm up muscles before exercise, promote healing, encourage relaxation and assist in the development of top line condition.

Hero LOVES his time under the heat lamps, as you can see! @ Craigie Farm

06/03/2021

Remember when we had all that snow?! ❄
Waking up to a chilly -3°C this morning, we do!

Our equine residents enjoy ad lib hay and haylage in their paddocks during the winter months, in addition to an abundance of natural shelter in order to keep happy and cosy, no matter what the elements bring!

04/03/2021

Little and large went for a Crepe (S)Hack today!

The boys had a fantastic time and we had a pleasant lunch 😋

Thank you again @ Craigie Farm

27/02/2021

Hero, one of our own, delighted to be out for a hack in the woods by the yard

24/02/2021

Is there a more serene setting for an afternoon? 🌅

18/02/2021

We have the answer!
It isn't a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow... it is a Shetland pony 🌈 🦄 ✨

17/02/2021

Can hardly believe that it was only one week ago that The Rhynd joined us for a pony-filled lunchtime in the snow! ❄

The Rhynd have some fantastic delivery options for Afternoon Teas, Winter Warmers and Six Nations Specials, available around Fife 😋 Perfect for coming in from a chilly morning at the stables!

16/02/2021

Hands up if you can't wait to get out and about for adventures with your equine friends! 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏼

What do you have planned for when restrictions ease?
