Sundays are for competing — and what a lovely day it was watching two little superstars ! 💖

Katie and Lexi rode beautifully, both coming home with a rosette — 4th and 5th! 🏅

Chives and Flyer were amazing as always, full of energy and so well behaved not a hoof wrong ( Gurnos ponies definitely make the best jumpers🤣). 🐴✨

And of course, Emily, Lilli-Jo, Harlow, and Emma were a brilliant support crew — lots of laughs, cheering, and smiles all round! 💕

So proud of everyone 💞

⭐️ NEW SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT! ⭐️

Hi everyone 👋

We’re excited to share that we’ll be starting new sessions specially designed for children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) 💛

These sessions will be calm, private, and fully personalised — with no other riders or parents on the yard during this time. This gives each child space to feel relaxed, safe, and confident.

🐴 What’s included:
✨ Grooming & bonding with the ponies
✨ Learning to tack up
✨ Yard work & stable care
✨ Gentle, confidence-building riding

Each session will be tailored to your child’s individual needs and goals, which we’ll discuss with parents and children beforehand.

These sessions are all about helping children:
💫 Build confidence
💫 Develop new skills
💫 Learn at their own pace
💫 Ask questions & revisit anything they’d like more practice with

📅 Sessions will run once weekly
👧🧒 Small groups – maximum of 3 children per group (depending on individual needs)

If you’re interested or would like more info, please message myself or Shania for details! 💬

We can’t wait to welcome you and your children for these supportive, confidence-boosting sessions 🌈🐎

🌟🐴 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!
