Another unforgettable evening    Still buzzing after the most incredible talk by Phyllida Lloyd — truly inspiring. “Phyllida was amazing — funny, engaging and completely inspiring. And now giving so much back to the younger generation… what a lady!” Such a privilege to listen to her stories and wisdom from the world of opera, film and theatre. Thank you, as always to our events team for organising and catering for over 80 guests on the night. Over £1000 raised for Broadlands

We’ve welcomed a few new followers recently, so we thought it was the perfect time to share a little more about who we are and what we do At Broadlands, we are dedicated to supporting children and adults with physical disabilities and a wide range of learning difficulties. Our wonderful ponies are carefully chosen for their calm and caring nature, and our RDA-qualified coaches tailor every session to suit each individual—working at a pace that feels right for them.

As we hang up our wheels and reins from carriage driving for a while. We’re also really pleased to share that our carriage and harness have found a wonderful new home. It means so much to us to know that our gear will continue to be used and appreciated—especially by another disability-access-focused carriage driving group. Wishing them many happy miles, great partnerships, and memorable drives ahead. Please give them a follow and some support - New Forest Carriage Driving f

Shout out to the wonderful Sara M who completed her RDA Group Coach assessment today!! Congratulations Sara! Sara would like to say an extra special thanks to the Thursday volunteers and riders for their help today as she normally helps on a Saturday!

Huge thanks to The Alresford Show  for their generous donation of £1000. This money will help top up our Bursary fund which ensures that our participants can access our activities regardless of their their financial circumstances. This figure can help fund 25 riding or equine assisted learning sessions in 2026!!! Emma M our Equine Trustee met with the 2025 Show President to receive the cheque!

This week, we’re proud to celebrate the unique strengths, perspectives, and talents that make every individual beautifully different. At our RDA centre, we see every day how horses help people shine in their own way. Whether it’s building confidence, improving communication, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment in the saddle, there is no “one way” to learn, connect, or succeed. Horses don’t judge — they respond to authenticity, patience, and trust. That’s why equine therapy c

Big adventures for our group coach Sarah Wild who is currently in America at White Stallion Ranch,  volunteering! Sarah has been getting stuck into ranch life — helping with horse care, tacking up, cattle sorting, and riding out with guests. It’s amazing to see her adventures on the other side of the pond! Enjoy the sunshine, Sarah!

The only members of the team that seemed perfectly at home in the wild wind and rain today were … the Shetlands!! Big thank you to all our wonderful volunteers and riders who turned up for sessions today in this yucky weather!

News you’ve all been waiting for about William! Since early November, William has been out of work and seeing the vet every two weeks to monitor his liver disease. We’re delighted to share that his blood test results from Monday have come back within normal limits! This is a huge step in the right direction and a big milestone for William as he continues on the path back to normal life at Broadlands. While we gradually wean him off his medication, he will remain out of lesson

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!

Busy busy Monday at the stables; we welcomed a new school group, the vet was here for annual Vaccinations for Toby and Fee, Mia had her full clip (front legs are tomorrow's job....) and then an afternoon of private sessions! All made even better by the sunshine !!!! 🌞
