'Tea with a Pony'
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.

Fun horse fact!
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!
