Getting in the last of the snow ❄️ Clodie & India , Thursday regulars Mary Brigid Brian Barry Trish & Iomar , and Alvaro on Winky .

Livery owner Dervilla (back from holidays on Sunday) having missed all the snow chatting to Jane in the yard while brushing off her horse 'Oki'.

Our main drive is still snowed under so please use the Hollybrook entrance to access the riding school if the main gates are still closed. Lessons recommence as normal this week except for Tuesday evening. Images below are from evening stables on Sunday (thanks Hannah and Delphi!) and Monday morning (well done Belinda!).

Progress at last! Thanks to cousin Edward from Conan Plant Hire. It is not only his son Jack that does his 'bit' for Ireland 🇮🇪️ 😉

The yard is closed - the horses are having a duvet day ;) There will be no lessons tomorrow Saturday 3rd March or Sunday 4th March.

Awaiting "Emmageddon"!!

Snow cleared and ready for a day's work. Thanks Jonathan and well done Lisa for making it in from Dublin

Early morning yard scenes

Due to the bad weather forecast and the approaching 'Beast from the East', all EVENING rides (7.30pm and 8.30pm) have been cancelled this week. We will reschedule the missed lessons at the end of the term.

Two of our riders, Olivia and Susan passed their Pony Club D+ Test last weekend. Olivia rode Duke and Susan was on Blackjack. Well done girls!

Beaut. @keelanhiggs can't ride a horse

I'm so sorry that I haven't been very active lately, I've genuinely just forgotten and then it's been too late😬 I promise though that I'll be more active from now on💗 • Planning on taking my C test during Easter, hopefully It'll go well as I have a slight feeling duke won't go down without making a fuss😂 also looking forward to the hunter trial season, honestly can't wait to get back riding duke properly. Just going to be sticking with pre-novice for now but may do a novice if all goes well💕 -L x QOTD: What PC tests have you completed? AOTD: well I skipped my D cuz it's easy peasy, done my D+ and am doing my C in Easter😊 • {everyone checkout my lovely sponsor @crystal.equine for stunning products and apparel😍 discount code= BRS10}

Sorry guys Ik the quality of this row is terrible but they're the only pics I have from the dr clinics and it's really hard to get good quality pics in the indoor. • Had the best rideout today omg😍 rode duke and he was so amazing oml😍, I honestly forgot how much I adore him. We went for some really nice canters up a long stretch and then popped the sheltered log and an "absolutely enormous" step😂 @equiindia like omg I don't know how I survived it! • Duke was such a good boy today and I'm just so happy to see him fit again so hopefully this season will be successful and we'll get loads out of it💪 -L x QOTD: Plans for this season? AOTD: Well I'm currently on the lookout for my own horse but for the time being I'm planning on doing a ton of HT on duke and just have a ton of fun💕 • {Proudly sponsored by the amazing @crystal.equine checkout her account for stunning products and apparel😍😍}
