Whatever the weather, come rain or shine (and yes, it's often rain), our young riders push forward with determination 🐴✨

They are never dampened by a bit of drizzle, whether they're grooming in the yard, training in the arena or learning in the classroom, each day is a new opportunity to learn and grow. Rainy days just add a splash of fun!

This week, our teaching has spanned from British Horse Society Stage 2 coaching all the way to working with Year 1 and 2 Prep School pupils.
