Back in October 2015 I was asked by my local RDA – The Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding – If I would go over and take some photos of their horses and ponies for them to use with their sponsor ...

For the last three years whilst on loan to The Shelley Centre Thyme has proved himself to be a very versatile and willing pony, much loved by those special riders at Shelley for whom he provided valuable therapy and also became a great friend. He took readily to the new skill of carriage driving which he greatly enjoyed, and with his owner Lucy he has kept himself extremely fit doing Pony Club events, show jumping, cross country and endurance riding, as well as his ‘day job’ with the disabled children and adults at Shelley. So we will miss him as he has now moved on to a new home, but thank him and his owners for his time with us at Shelley and hope he enjoys the next stage in his life.

Difficult to replace but we are now looking for another Thyme. A 14hh ride and drive pony with a good temperament, on permanent loan or to buy. If you know of such a pony we would really like to hear from you. Please contact Lyn, our Stable Manager at The Centre.

Our new term is progressing well and we are delighted to see a few new faces in our team of volunteers.

September saw a working party of 20 very keen volunteers from B.T. who came to lift ragwort, cut grass, hedges and tidy the garden, as well as some carpentry work. We are very grateful to them all for their enthusiasm and assistance, as well as for their donation of some tools for our future use. We are also grateful to all who took part in the Long Distance Sponsored Ride, to those of our helpers and supporter who spent the day stewarding the route, also to the local landowners who allowed us to cross some of their private property which made the route so enjoyable for the riders.
