Morning Campers ..Well isn’t this a delight ! Once again the weather is being difficult however it’s supposed to get better so we’re going to carry on as normal and if it’s to bad to ride we’ll do workshops on ponycare and handling ,that will of course go towards badges and eventually volunteer status …( good practice for when you become proud owners of your own special equines ) see you later , ❤️🐴

❄️ Morning Woodford ❄️

Following on from our message last night we are making the decision to cancel workshops this morning as roads are quite bad near us and don’t want everyone risking driving in.

We will rebook everyone for their next slot automatically if you can’t attend no problem just let us know.

Apologies for any inconvenience 🐴

🐴 Evening Woodford 🐴

We are expecting a lot of ice throughout the night due to low temperatures and set to continue tomorrow and as a result we will be running things slightly differently tomorrow.

We are going to run two workshops

10am-11am for our 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 groups

and

11am-12pm for our 12:30, 1:30, 2:30and 3:30 groups

This will be a fun opportunity for the kids to get hands on with the horses and ponies. We will be learning about selecting the best type of rug for your horse/pony and how to choose the best fit (neck/no neck, fill level, based on horses conformation and fitness level).

We’re moving it all to the morning as we don’t want the kids or the ponies out in the cold all day.

If anyone would like to come at a different time to their group it’s no problem just please let us know.

We are working our way through contacting everyone so please bear with us. If you don’t recieve a message please just let one of us know and we can update the number on your insurance forms.

Apologies for any inconvenience 😊

Lest we forget.

I was pulled from my field, from my work, from my play,
Ne'er again to see England, in lands far away,
Through death and destruction, through blood sweat and tears,
I carried my master, along with my peers,
So I ask you to remember a while,
Along with the soldiers, in smart rank and file,
Remember our beauty, the strength of our kind,
As we galloped through danger, without care to mind,
For we were the horses thrust into war,
And we gave up our lives for your peace evermore.

The War Horse, 1914 - 1918

This will be a fun opportunity for the kids to get hands on with the horses and ponies. We will be giving them a bath (the ponies not the children) and learning how to keep ourselves safe while doing it and learning about how to keep our horses safe and cool in this hot weather.

We’re moving it all to the morning as we don’t want the kids or the ponies out in the heat.
