Unfortunately Mum has a really bad cold and so we are going to have to cancel all lessons today. Really sorry 🐎

🐴 Please read 🐴

Due to the heat today, lessons may have to be shortened, or if it gets really hot we may have to work inside. Please also bring towels as we may bath the ponies or hose them (and the kids 😂) down after their lesson.

Just to let everyone know we are having problems with the yard phone. At the moment, people are unable to leave a message. It should resolve in the next couple of days. Thank you 📞

17/06/2023

Just to let you all know the Power Station Road is closed and the diversions will take you either through rockhampton/ Hill or alternatively you can go through Kington/Oldbury! You’ll need to leave extra time to get to us as both routes are scenic!

🎄Christmas Vouchers 🎄

We have Christmas vouchers available from today until Christmas. Vouchers can be used for lessons, stable management, pony days etc. They will come with a Christmas rosette and will be dated for for 1 year from December 25th.

If you are interested please send us a message or ask Jean when you come in for your lesson! 🎅🏼

25/09/2022

Today we took Kali to the VHPRC championship show. She came 3rd in her class and came home with this beautiful rosette! Kali felt very young as the pony in the trailer next door was 38! She’s got a few more years left in her yet! 😉🐴

12/08/2022

As most of you know, back in April Dotty gave birth to a filly foal called Bizzie. Here she is at just a few days old. She is now a lot more grey and not quite so cute!!!

11/08/2022

During this heatwave it is going to be too hot to ride the ponies during the hottest part of the day. Stable management will be offered if you already have a lesson booked and it is too hot to ride. If In doubt please call the yard. ☀️

10/08/2022

This Morning we took Kali to Beaufort Hunt show where we entered the veteran pony in hand. Kali won her class and qualified for the South West Veteran Horse and Pony Championships!

30/07/2022

Thank you to all the children who have come to Pony Stars over the last couple of days!
We still have spaces next Saturday 2-3 pm for anyone else who would like to join us!
Any older children who think that Shetland Striders may not provide enough of a challenge, we are going to start the Dartmoor Dazzlers in a separate session.
If you would like any more information please send me a message! 🐴

⭐️BHS Pony stars⭐️
The British Horse Society have launched a new set of challenges called Pony Stars. Each child can buy a book from the BHS website and then work through the book to complete the challenges. Topics include grooming, colours, breeds, pet care, riding skills, countryside, farm animals, yard safety, first aid and mucking out. There are 4 books to work through starting with Shetland Striders. Children who choose not to ride can complete just the stable management topics. You do not need to be a current rider with us, however you will be expected to complete a rider registration form before starting these challenges. They are open to children from 4-12 years. Please message me on this page if this is something you would be interested in.
We are going to limit the amount of children in each session but will run them across the holidays and during term time, so all children get the chance to participate.
A pony stars session will cost £10 an hour.

18/07/2022

PLEASE READ
Due to the extreme temperatures, to keep you and the horses safe we are cancelling all lessons today and tomorrow.
Stay safe.
Jean and Daisy

Hi all,
If we have heavy rain tomorrow (as forecast) then lessons will be stable management. So you can decide whether or not you still want to come!
Many thanks
Jean

Merry Christmas to all our riders, parents and supporters! Hope you all have a lovely Christmas! Thank you for all our cards and presents!

P.S thank you to everyone who sent pictures to Kirsten… the book is incredible!

28/11/2021

Dear all,
I wanted to get something nice for Jean for christmas 🎅 and thought a photo book with photos of children she has taught over the years would be nice. Daisy thought it would be a nice idea too. Jean has taught my girls, and my eldest (Elsie) helps on a Saturday.
If you have any recent or old photos you would like to share in the book I’m sure Jean would love them!! If you are able to Email them to me it would be great. They don’t have to be award winning! I’ll order 2 books so one can be for home and one for the office so people can see it…
Please can you share them on comments here or email me
On
[email protected]
Thank you! 🐴 🎄 x please write ‘Jean’ as the subject of the email… I will not use photos for anything other than the book and will delete them when it’s done!
Ps it’s a SECRET! X

27/11/2021

There will be no riding today dueto the strong winds. However, there will be stable management if you would still like to come down.

21/11/2021

Unfortunately there will be no riding again today as mum is not well enough to teach! Really sorry!
