Thank you to everyone who came along to our fun Spring Show yesterday! 🌿

We hope you all had as much fun as we did, Bob especially loved having the wind in his hair!

As always, thank you to all our volunteers who made the day possible, we couldn't do it without you. Special thanks go to Judith and Jess for their support in organising and running the show 🐴

A few of our ponies headed to Moores Farm Competition Centre on Sunday for their Spring Show, to compete in the in-hand classes! Going to local shows with our yard staff team is a great way for our ponies to get out-and-about and do something different, while having fun of course!

All four ponies received rosettes, with Flyer placing first in his class! Robbie, Rosie, Bruno and Flyer all had great fun thanks to our yard team, who worked hard to ensure the ponies looked stunning throughout the day 🐴

Wishing Morph a very happy retirement! We waved goodbye to Morph last weekend, after his many years of service at Cotswold RDA. After a vet analysis found arthritis, with Morph’s best interest and welfare at heart, we decided it was time for him to retire 🐴

Morph really was a superstar at Cotswold RDA, having competed at RDA Regional and National shows, winning countless placings (with his walk, which was always admired by the judges!) and of course provided riding lessons to our many clients at the arena five days a week. We know he will be much missed by our staff, riders and volunteers.

Morph’s new home is with our Head Groom Holly, where he will be thoroughly spoilt and looked after. Thank you Morph! 🌟
