🐴 Adopt Random! 🐴

Each of our herd has their own quirks and story, here is some more information about Random.

Our Adopt a Pony scheme offers four adoption packages, making it easy for everyone to get involved.
By adopting one of our ponies, you’re directly helping us provide:
💜 Nutritious feed and bedding
💜 Routine care and essential equipment
💜 Training and enrichment activities

Each package offers its own special perks, helping you stay connected with your chosen pony while supporting their wellbeing.

Every adoption, big or small, makes a real difference to our herd.

Happy Friday 🌧️🍃 The weather might not be looking great this weekend, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get outside, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy whatever life throws your way.

Did you see our announcement the other day about our Nurture in Nature School Holiday Club this February!

These sessions offer a gentle, trauma-informed outdoor space where children are free to explore, discover, and connect with nature in their own way. We provide a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental environment where every child is welcomed and supported at their own pace.

Children can take part in a wide range of hands-on activities such as bug hunts, animal care, gardening, rewilding projects, fire lighting, whittling, and nature crafts. Activities are child-led, encouraging confidence, emotional awareness, empathy, and wellbeing while fostering a deeper connection to the natural world. Healthy snacks and refreshments are provided.

Booking is essential, please book via the link in the comments.

But it's nearly over....... 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️

Guys.
Guys guys guys.

We are three sleeps away from the most exciting time of the year.
Any month that isn’t January. 🎉🐎

January can absolutely get in the bin.
It’s been 97 weeks long, emotionally aggressive, financially personal, and wetter than a duck in a car wash.

We’ve survived:

• Frozen taps
• Mud that tries to steal your wellies
• Horses that look offended by daylight hours.
• Bank balances held together with hope and a Tesco Clubcard
• And that special January vibe where the even kettle is worn out.

The yard has been a crime scene.
The weather has been a hate crime.
My horse has forgotten what sunshine is and I’ve forgotten who I was before waterproof trousers became my personality.

But February is peeking. 👀
Lighter evenings.
Slightly less mud soup.
The faint whisper of “maybe this year won’t be awful”.

Three sleeps until we collectively crawl out of January like feral goblins blinking at the light, clutching our coffee, whispering “we made it” ☕️✨

Who else is counting down like it’s New Year’s Eve but FAR MORE EXCITING.

Roll on Literally Any Other Month 🥂🐴

Every Thursday we welcome our under-4s to an outdoor adventure group where there’s lots of room for new faces to join the fun.

Whatever the weather has in store... we’re ready! Pull on those wellies and waterproofs and dive into hands-on play. Little explorers can cook up creations in the mud kitchen, wander through the sensory garden, cuddle friendly creatures, and help groom our ponies. There’s critter hunting, singing, stories, crafts, and plenty of chances to laugh, explore, and make special memories together.

🕙 Thursdays, 10–11:30am - Childminders and carers are always warmly welcomed.

Book at the link in the comments.

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean small animals want to be bored 🐾❄️

Enrichment is important all year round, helping animals stay active, curious, and happy even on colder, quieter days.
