🌟🐴 Happy Birthday to the incredible Emily Baker! 🐴🌟

I’ve had the privilege of teaching Emily right from her very first lesson on the lead rein, and watching her journey has been nothing short of amazing. From those early days to now flying around in competitions, she has grown into such a talented, gutsy young rider.

Emily is absolutely jump-crazy, endlessly determined, and never fails to keep my nerves tested on a daily basis 🤭. But more than anything, she’s a joy to teach and a true inspiration to everyone at the yard.

Happy Birthday, Emily – I’m so proud of you! Keep chasing those fences and reaching new heights.🎉💖

✨ A huge thank you to Kim for coming in today to give some of our riders a lesson! ✨

Kim has been such a big part of my life with horses. From a very young age she taught me so much about riding, care, and respect for these amazing animals, and those lessons have stayed with me ever since. 💕🐴

Having her here today felt really special — almost like things had come full circle. It was so lovely to see her passing on that same wisdom and encouragement to our riders, just as she once did for me. Watching the children and horses grow in confidence and partnership during the session was honestly heart-warming.
I feel very lucky to have learned from Kim over the years, and even luckier that our riders had the chance to do the same today. 🌟

Thank you again, Kim — we can’t wait to welcome you back soon!

✨ Pony Club Sleepover at SP Equestrian ✨
What a fantastic day it’s been here at SP Equestrian! 🐴 The children have been an absolute credit to themselves – showing such lovely manners, kindness, and teamwork throughout the day. It’s been wonderful to see them caring for the ponies, supporting each other, and enjoying every moment together.
Now the excitement carries on as they’ve just settled into their tents ⛺️🌙. Whether much sleeping happens is another matter 😅 – but the laughter, friendship, and memories being made tonight are truly special.
We’re so proud of this amazing group – well done everyone! 💕
If your child would love to be part of our Pony Club and join in on fun events like this, get in touch with us here at SP Equestrian – we’d love to welcome you! ✨🐴

✨ Pony Camp – First Three Days Recap! ✨
What an incredible start to our pony camp! 🐴💛 The first three days have been absolutely packed with non-stop fun, laughter, and the making of wonderful new friendships.

Our riders have truly worked their socks off — and the progress they’ve made in just a few days has been nothing short of amazing. We couldn’t be prouder! 👏

From painting our ponies (and maybe ourselves just a little 🎨😉) to trying our hands at show jumping, exploring the property on a trail ride scavenger hunt, and so many more exciting activities — every moment has been filled with smiles, learning, and a whole lot of pony love.

And the fun isn’t over yet! Over the next two days, we’ll be diving into Western riding 🤠 and some fast-paced, laugh-filled mounted games 🏇 — perfect for putting our teamwork, riding skills, and competitive spirit to the test.

A big shoutout to all our campers for bringing such great energy and enthusiasm — and to our superstar ponies for being absolute legends. 🐎✨

📅 Missed out this time? Don’t worry — our ponies will be saddled up and ready for the next adventure!
🎃 Next Pony Camp: 27th – 31st October — Halloween themed! Expect spooky decorations, fun costumes, and plenty of tricks and treats (for ponies and riders alike!).

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday, Zoezie! 🎂🎉

All of us at SP Equestrian want to wish a very Happy Birthday to one of our amazing instructors — Zoezie! 🐴💖

Your passion for teaching, your endless patience, and the way you bring out the best in every rider (and pony!) make you such an important part of our SP family.

One of our favourite Zoezie moments? That time she waded right into the river because Star refused to go in without her — now that’s dedication! 💦🐎💪
It’s moments like those that show just how far you’ll go (literally!) to support your riders and ponies.

Here’s to more muddy boots, happy ponies, and unforgettable memories. Have the most amazing day, Zoezie! 💐🎁🍰

👇 Below is a special video message from some of the children at SP Equestrian — they wanted to let you know just how much you mean to them! 🥰🎬
