It is with great sadness to announce the passing of our beloved Cat.

We will miss her little “meows” to everyone who comes to visit her, her scouting around to find treats off her favourite clients, her “thank you” rubs whens giving her breakfast and dinner.

We will miss finding her in incredibly weird places to sunbathe and sleep, and moments of “how did you get there?”

She came to the yard 10 years ago as a “feral” cat, and became a incredibly kind, loving and beautiful family member, we will miss her dearly.

Yesterday we said goodbye to our beloved Stan. Stan was one of the first horses bought for the riding school, given a second chance of life thanks to Rosie and the team.

He is a once in a life time horse. Stan taught thousands of our clients to ride, from beginners to advanced; children, teenagers and adults - no matter who you were he always looked after you and gave you a wonderful ride.

We will miss his amazing rhythmical, correct, beautiful way of going; his massive head leaning wide out of the stable with his open wide lips waiting for a carrot (while trying to not get your hand sucked up in the process); his gentle and kind personality.

We will miss you dearly.

22/11/2023

💚🌟 Good Luck to everyone taking their BHS Stage 2 Exam today 🌟💚
