In the interest of safety we have made the decision to cancel lessons today (Thursday)!! The freezing temperatures yesterday and overnight have made conditions very slippy around the Equestrian Centre! We have sent text messages to everyone booked in for today's lessons! We are hopeful that the weather is set to improve overnight tonight so we expect lessons to return to normal for tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday! We will update here tomorrow morning! Thanks and stay safe everyone!! 🥶🥶

As everyone settles down to ring in the New Year we would like to remember some of the highs and lows of 2024!!
In January we said an emotional bon voyage to Rachel who spent the year experiencing the wonders of New Zealand but we were delighted to welcome her back home in November!!!
We also had some new arrivals in the shape of 4 legged friends to our riding school and also found new homes for some young horses and ponies we produced during the year!
We have said some incredibly difficult goodbyes to wonderful friends of BEC who sadly passed away during the year, while they are no longer here with us we have very special memories which we hold close to our hearts!
We are truly thankful for all our wonderful customers and friends, who have supported us with their custom and friendships in 2024 and we hope that these will continue for many years to come!
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our brilliant staff, past and present who have helped us throughout the year and are always ready to assist with any task thrown at them!!
And last but not least thanks to all our wonderful friends who have helped in so many ways during this year but in particular in the last 2 months thank you most sincerely!
As we bid farewell to 2024 let's hope that 2025 will be happy and peaceful for one and all!!! Happy New Year 🎉🎆
