๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป Weโ€™re back from holiday and ready to get started with another busy week! โ˜บ๏ธ

โ—๏ธA reminder that it is our Team Showjumping Finale this Friday! ๐Ÿ†
If you cannot attend, we need to know within the next 24 hours, please do not let us know at the last minute or just not show up, last time was incredibly frustrating! We will publish the drawn order and a confirmed start time over the next couple of days. Everyone will be required to attend the presentation at the end of proceedings to receive trophies and rosettes, so please be prepared to stay on.

โŒ CLEAR ROUND IS CANCELLED:
Due to the current forecast and in order to preserve the ground for Fridayโ€™s Team Showjumping, we have made the decision to cancel Clear Round Showjumping on Wednesday the 23rd. Any pre entries will be refunded or credited. We apologise for any disappointment but we feel that in the interest of health and safety and practically it is the best decision. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

Here is what else we have coming up this week โ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป

๐ŸŒŸ Private/ Semi Private Lessons:

๐Ÿ“Œ 6pm on Wednesday.
๐Ÿ“Œ 6.30 on Wednesday.
๐Ÿ“Œ 4pm on Thursday.

โ—๏ธThe above are offered out as semi private lessons and therefore are not specifically private lessons. We would prefer the above to be taken in addition to any previously booked group lessons and not instead of, so not to alter group numbers. Thank you for your understanding.

โžก๏ธ We have spaces available on Beginner, Novice & Advanced group lessons throughout this week. If you wish to book an additional or alternative group lesson then please get in touch.

๐Ÿด Remember, our next Stable Management session will be held next Wednesday the 30th of September from 6pm - 7pm. Please get in touch if you wish to book on. More details can be found on our page.

๐ŸŽƒ We are in the process of planning our Halloween half term activities. Keep your eyes peeled. ๐Ÿ‘€

For more information on any of the above, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to help. ๐Ÿ˜Š

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ†๐Ÿฉท Summer Show 2026 over and out! ๐ŸŽ†

Proof that the weather cannot ruin our day! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐ŸปWhat another amazing summer show we have had. We cannot express enough gratitude to those of you who came and supported us despite the forecast and the soggy weather. It certainly did not dampen the spirit of the day, there were lots of smiling faces, plenty of rosettes ๐Ÿต๏ธ and trophies and some fantastic displays of riding.

I cannot find the words to describe how grateful we are to our incredible team of staff & volunteers. We say it every year, but without them giving up their time and energy we wouldnโ€™t be able to put on such an event. We are overwhelmed by the support they offer year on year and the enthusiasm and commitment they bring. Saying thank you simply isnโ€™t enough, you are all truly amazing people for making it such a special day for everyone. โ™ฅ๏ธ

What can we say about our wonderful ponies? They are beautiful, dependable, all giving and give 100% to each rider they receive without question. We are incredibly lucky to have a team of such amazing ponies, trust us when we say they arenโ€™t all like our ponies, they are very special. I also donโ€™t know many otherโ€™s that own a real life unicorn! ๐Ÿฆ„ ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lastly, give yourselves a round of applause. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป Without the turn out, commitment and support of our riders and riding families we wouldnโ€™t have a summer show. No matter what age or ability you are, you all rode amazing and we hope you enjoyed the day as much as we enjoy seeing you all ride and receive your rosettes. For those that donโ€™t own their own pony, experiencing a show atmosphere and all that goes with it can be out of reach and we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience competing on a fun and friendly level. This is why this day is so important to us, not because it benefits us as a business but because we want it to benefit our riders and our families.

Please do share any pictures with us below. ๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป We love hearing about and seeing how you guys experienced the day from your perspective. So for another year, we say thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to each and every one of you and we hope to continue making dreams come true, pushing ourselves and NA to continually improve for the good of you all in the many months and years to come.

Our love, respect and eternal gratitude,
Niki & Linda. โ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ

Own A Pony Day in pictures โ€ฆ ๐Ÿฆ„

Itโ€™s been great to see our OAP days so well attended. It really isnโ€™t all about that riding, in fact that is only a small part of horse ownership. Learning to get stuck in and carry out all the tasks involved is so important and itโ€™s what is going to shape our next generation of horse lovers.

For those of you who just canโ€™t wait for the next half term, we do run Stable Management throughout term time every other Wednesday from 6pm - 7pm where you can continue learning all aspects of horse care and husbandry. โ™ฅ๏ธ
