Rocky was quick to give Martin our farrier (Tailor-Made Horse Products) a cuddle today! Every 6 weeks without fail, come rain or shine he keeps our ponies’ hooves in perfect condition, making sure they’re comfortable, balanced, and ready for whatever adventures come next. Martin's patience, skill, and genuine care for each pony never go unnoticed. Happy ponies, happy hooves, and very grateful riders! Thank you for everything you do

Grab a cuppa and see what we’ve been up to! Our wonderful new Hub will, I’m sure, become an integral part of Broadlands — a place to meet, run events, share a coffee, catch up with friends, take five minutes to chill and more. We were fortunate to receive funding last September from EHDC Rural Projects for the creation of this new Hub. It’s been a bit of a stop-start project, beginning in late October and finishing right on target Wednesday 25th March. Given the timescales an

We’re so proud to open the doors to our brand-new Community Hub! After six months of hard work, planning, and dedication, this space has been created with one goal in mind — to provide a safe, welcoming environment for everyone. Our hub is a place where participants, parents, staff, and visitors can come together to socialise, learn, grow, and support one another. Whether you’re here to connect with others, develop new skills, or simply enjoy a friendly space, you are always

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.

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!

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
