Tilefield Equestrian - Amanda Barton

We had a great morning on a foraging course at Tilefield Equestrian with Lola, a super experienced Forager, organised by Roger Walker from Experience Hampshire.

I thought I knew most of what grows on my land, but I’ve clearly been walking past some really useful plants — like yarrow and plantain — without realising.
Yarrow is brilliant for helping to stop bleeding and supporting wound healing in both people and horses, and plantain is great for soothing bites and stings, mild skin irritations, and it also helps with inflammation in horses and humans. It’s amazing what’s quietly growing under our feet.

It was such an interesting and relaxed morning, and lovely to welcome a group of people who hadn’t been here before. I’m already looking forward to hosting more Experience Hampshire events at Tilefield soon.

I’m really pleased to have been nominated as a finalist for the New Forest Brilliance in Business Awards – Award for Health and Wellbeing.

It’s a great award to be recognised for, as health and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do at Tilefield Equestrian — not just for the horses, but for riders and the wider community who come here for events or simply to enjoy the peace and quiet the place offers.

It’s also a privilege to be part of such a strong network of local New Forest businesses and to celebrate the many small companies that make this area so special. Whatever happens, I’m delighted to have got this far and looking forward to the awards evening which is a great night out!

I’m delighted that Christy DiColla is with us at Tilefield Equestrian teaching 2 different clinics this week. Over the weekend we ran Level 1 Neuro Fascial Conditioning which takes a fascinating exploration into equine rib asymmetry, and Tuesday through Thursday she’s teaching Level 3 Advanced Work & Joint Mobilization under the ZENMA certification pathway.

Christy is the founder of ZENMA wellness™, and her work integrates her proprietary Rib Entrapment Therapy™ and Neuro Fascial Conditioning™ methods to restore balance, mobility and whole-horse wellness.

We are very fortunate to host her expertise — looking forward to attending this course for the rest of this week!
