Rio has been with us 3 months now. His back story is long and complicated. He is a very busy brained boy, although 22yrs old, he is often very foal like in the herd who needs reassurance and putting in his place in equal measure. His tendency is to overthink, over please or completely opt out. Since he's been with us, we've expected nothing from him, let him opt in on his own terms and allowed his inner light to begin to shine. He's a special boy who is trying so hard to peel off his defensive layers bit by bit. He has formed a bond to me particularly and likes a little emotional 'check in' when I'm out on the track doing jobs. They never last particularly long but as I was away last week and I think he's missed this connection as he's sought me out daily for some 'us time' 😊.
We love you Little Legs, we understand you, we see you, we feel you 🧡

Belle's first time on her section of track, she'll be in with the herd in 2weeks time! She needed some reassurance but enjoyed pottering with me!

Being greeted by the horses in total and utter tranquility proves we do our 'passion' (job) well. We love the horses like our own. We know what makes them happy and we constantly adapt to their changing needs. Retirement is more than just being in a field. Its about building a strong horse mentally and physically so they can enjoy their herd life the way they should 🙏 🤲

Love your grass and it LOVES you back!
So many people are haying fields and struggling with the drought of this summer. We have extensive knowledge in land management and have topped our fields 8 times this year and we are about to do our 9th top in the next few weeks. We have never used fertilisers and manage all our fields organically.
The right rotation of our herds, using our manure and feeding our grass with its own toppings makes SHL the place it is.
Why pay out on processed feeds? When your horse can have the very best naturally!
Let your horse live the natural way ✨️
