We are excited to announce that today we welcomed 3 new arrivals to the Riding Centre. Please meet Tess, Pablo and a new working livery, Dakota, who is pictured with her proud new owner, Emma. The horses seemed to be more interested in the grass than the view from their new field!

This little Shetland's almost as cheeky as our Polly... 💐🐴

A chance to discuss and practice show ring etiquette either in preparation for a forthcoming show or just for fun! Suitable for all levels and abilities of riders. One hour sessions in the field, with a maximum of six riders per session, cost per person £25. It would be beneficial if riders could be dressed in their show attire but horses need not be "show" ready.

We have had a week of mixed emotions at the Riding Centre. Firstly, we said a sad fairwell to the very popular Bobby D and Lloyd who set off on a new adventure across the water to live with their owners, however, we are pleased to report they have settled in well. On a happier note, we are awaiting the arrival of 3 new horses to the Riding Centre. Watch this space for more news and photos when they arrive.
