Over the past few months, the team has been working incredibly hard behind the scenes on something really important — securing our Riding School Welfare Licence. This is a legal requirement, set by the local council, and is all about ensuring we continue to meet high standards of animal welfare (something that's always been at the heart of what we do). There has been a bit of “grey area”" in the past around whether this licence applied to Broadlands, but that's now been fully

Another milestone for Broadlands was achieved on Tuesday 17 th February at 14:00. As many of you will know, for the last few years we have been planning to have our own power supply connected from the national network. For the last 50 years plus, Broadlands’ electricity has come from Suzanne and Dudley’s domestic consumer unit, and each month we were charged for what we used. Not having our own power supply was a significant risk to continuity of business for Broadlands, so

Spring has sprung! The ponies have started moulting, especially Watson the Shetland. Grooming brushes at the ready team…

Following a couple of enquiries, we would like to confirm we are closed for Easter Weekend!

Remembering when we hosted another 'Tea with a Pony' at our Equine Therapy and Riding for the Disabled Centre! We welcomed 4 wonderful residents from Marnel Lodge Care Home - Barchester Healthcare , who each had the chance to meet our ponies, spend some special 1:1 time grooming them, and ask lots of thoughtful questions about their care and individual characters. And of course, no tea is complete without cake… and once again, Emma’s baking was a huge hit! A big thank you to

A belated HUGE congratulations to some of our Monday Afternoon riders as they receive their Endeavour Awards, recognising a personal goal achieved by each of them.

Horses are basically born with a built-in raincoat! • A horse’s coat is naturally water-resistant thanks to oils produced by their skin • When it rains, their hairs can stand slightly on end, letting water run off instead of soaking in • This keeps the skin underneath dry and warm, even during heavy rain • Their thick winter coats can trap warm air, acting like natural insulation • That’s why horses can often be more comfortable without a rug than with a wet one!
