If you’re a regular visitor you would of definitely seen this gem around. Today he put his brave boy pants on and had his first tootle around the ménage off the lunge and a rider on board. He even did he first circle, we feel like proud parents. What a delight he is. Big things coming for this guy🤎
Oscar had a very important job this afternoon and took the newbie ex racers on their first trip to the Sandhills with toplines Charlie, Meg and Cheryl. I think they all enjoyed the fresh air and change of scenery 🧡🤍🤎
Thankyou to everyone who has supported us today. We are really grateful for everyone’s patience. As a small business this is a tough gig when the weather turns. The horses still need feeding and rent needs paying even if we don’t do lessons. That’s hard enough. Having lovely clients that understand and even go the extra mile to keep things ticking over… we do appreciate you ❤️ and Foxes Competition Centre thankyou for coming to the recuse and hiring us your beautiful indoor.

Nice warm mashes for ponies this morning. All of our horses have mash all year round. It’s a fab way of getting water into them to keep them hydrated. Especially in extreme hot or cold when they might not be drinking enough.
We actually feed all of ours veteran vitality. From 4 year olds to 22 year olds. Why veteran for young horses? Well… we should all be looking at what is inside the bags of feed … not just what is printed on the front. Do you know exactly what is in your feed? How much digestible energy? Protein? Fibre? Vitamins and minerals? Probiotics? You should. Our feed ticks all the nutritional requirements for all of our horses (except some requiring different support but they still have veteran as a base).
It has a good level of Digestible Energy so when they are working harder the energy is readily available to them and when they are put in the winter the energy is there to help maintain condition.
We used to feed separate pre/probiotics but these are included in this feed already. These help maintain digestive health.
We also used to top up with a vitamin supplement with vitamin E and selenium (as hay loses its nutritional value the longer it is stored and Vitamin E degrades very quickly) our feed now has fantastic levels of all vitamins and minerals so we don’t need to feed extra supplements.
So yeah… it says ‘veteran’ on the front but the actual contents is a ready made, easily absorbed feed that means all of our horses are receiving top quality nutrients consistently throughout the year. Boom 💥
TopLine Turnout. In all its full glory. Our horses get time out every day. Some are out of a night and some of a day. We have separated the other and smaller ponies to make sure they have enough access to hay while they’re out and they are on the higher ground which is dryer so less strain on their little legs.
Then we have these hooligans… I am lazy and I feed them here. We either push a bale out into the field or throw hay over or use nets. Depends who is out, what the weather is doing (so nets if it’s windy etc) they never go longer than a few hours with no hay but we do vary it. When they aren’t eating the hay they browse the bushes or graze the grass. Horses that spend the night in the field come in of a morning for their feed, hay and time in a stable.
Horses that have been in of a night need to go out and move and socialise. Some go out and have hay, others we don’t feed hay as we want them to move around not just stand and eat.
Seeing the horses today in that sunlight was just so peaceful. They just stood soaking it all up it was beautiful to see them so happy and relaxed.
Todays afternoon sessions have been rescheduled for tomorrow 😊 enjoy the snow and stay safe all ❤️
