We’re delighted to have had our full riding school inspection recently in which we were awarded the maximum 5⭐️ rating! This is a full check of all our processes, policies, environment, and horse welfare, carried out by a NKCC Officer and an independent vet.

Even though we don’t offer riding school lessons, this is the licence that makes sure we are covered for all of our Equine Assisted Therapy, Therapeutic Riding, and Alternative Provision. It is extremely thorough, so we’re thrilled to pass with the maximum rating and such complimentary feedback 🥰

Beautiful Clover showing just how much the ponies are enjoying their new 🥰 horses can sleep standing up but laying down is the only way they can go into deeper sleep. Just like us, they need a safe and comfortable sleep environment if they’re going to relax enough to doze off 💤

For our therapy/AP clients, please be aware we have no electricity at the top end of our yard for up to 2 weeks, if you usually use the rooms, thank you in advance for your patience with our temporary heating solutions and lack of lighting 🔦

Riding is completely unaffected thanks to the lovely Darren who has lent us his small generator to power the arena and yard lights!

The joys of being off grid for electricity never end 😂

✨Children’s Therapeutic Riding Availability ✨

Wednesdays - fortnightly at 4pm (small child only)
Saturdays - fortnightly at 11am, monthly at 1pm

These sessions are all 1:1 and cost £60 for 55mins.

Therapeutic riding is unique wellbeing activity designed for individuals struggling with their mental health, neurodiversity, or any additional psychological needs. Whilst it is not a substitute for therapy, our instructors create a calm, safe environment through which young people can feel a sense of belonging, gain confidence, and connect meaningfully with our horses both on the ground and ridden.
We pride ourselves on our ethics and welfare, and the relationship with the horse is a big part of our therapeutic riding programme. All sessions involve catching the pony, grooming, and learning how to tack up ❤️

Just in case we were ever at risk of offering traditional therapy with our lovely rooms, the horses take their jobs very seriously and will make sure they’re always part of sessions, even if we’re indoors 😂

Our first winter with warm, lit indoor spaces and we’re feeling so lucky 🥰 a very worthwhile project that was approximately 90% funded by the Rural England Prosperity Fund (construction) and the Clothworker’s Foundation (furnishings).

It’s investment like this that helps us keep our prices as low as we can in these tricky times, whilst still improving client care ❤️

The most handsome faces 😍 Front to back we have Parker, Prince and Jasper, with Jack hiding just out of shot.

Just like people, friendships in the herd are always changing. These boys often get separated when they create a Prince & Jack versus Parker & Jasper dynamic 😂 but with the change in season and a bit of grass they’re happy to have some turnout together overnight, which is lovely to see ❤️

It was beautiful weather for our Alternative Provision to do some work on their fruit & veg plot this week, and it’s great to see they’ve been putting our hay waste to good use to prepare for winter. The proceeds from the produce sales have also been re-invested into supplies, so we’re excited to see what they grow next 🥕
