Your Horse Live in November 🐴 is anyone going?

I'm thinking about taking a stand for BridleNav, my rider navigation app and I keep changing my mind about it 😅

It's a big chunk of money and a lot
of days off the farm, so rather than guess I thought I'd just ask
you lot.

Would you come and have a nosey? And what would you actually want
to see — someone walking you through it, a chat about routes near
you, something else entirely?

The app's nearly there by the way ✨ Days away now.

Be honest! If it's a no, you've just saved me £1800 😂

We've been sitting on this for a while now — and the time has finally come to share it properly 🥹💚

Meet Debbie and Lillian 🐴

We want to start by telling you about Debbie — because honestly Debbie is the reason we felt confident enough to launch this at all.

Debbie is one of those rare people who doesn't just care for horses — she loves them. Deeply. Genuinely. In that way that you can't fake and you can't teach. The kind of person who notices the small things. Who stays a little longer just to check. Who treats every single horse as if it were her own — because to her, they are 🥹

When we watched Debbie with horses we knew. This was the person. This was the standard we wanted to set. And this is the standard every horse in our care will receive. Every single day. Without exception 💚

Debbie will be the face, the heart and the hands of our brand new retirement livery here at Unthank Hall Farm in Holmesfield, Derbyshire — and we could not be more proud to have her 🌿

We built everything that follows around one simple question — what would we want for our own horse? And the answer is Debbie 🥹🐴

Here's what we're offering:

🌿 Natural herd living — up to 10 horses
🐴 24/7 field access and open barn shelter
✂️ Barefoot — managed by our professional trimmer Charlotte Wright
📱 Daily photos, videos and written updates via the Equigate app
📹 Live camera access 24/7 — check in on your horse from anywhere in the world
🌄 Beautiful Peak District location — Holmesfield, Derbyshire S18

Places are strictly limited to 10 horses and we already have interest 👀

To register your interest please email us at [email protected] or drop us a message 💚

We cannot wait to welcome the first residents to their forever retirement home 🐴🌿

September already 🍂🐴

Can you feel the change? There's something about this time of year that just does something to horses isn't there — a little more forward, a little more sparkle in their eye, that autumn energy starting to build 🌿

We absolutely love riding in September. The summer crowds start to thin out on the bridleways. The light is softer and more golden. The ground is still firm. And there's just something about a September hack that feels completely different to any other time of year 💚

Are you riding much this month? What are you looking forward to most about autumn riding? Drop it in the comments 👇🍂🐴

Something new is coming to our ride programme — and we are so excited to share it with you 🌄🐴

Introducing our brand new Moor Ride with Views over Curbar Edge — a beautiful small group confidence ride across open moorland in the most stunning Peak District setting imaginable 🌿

You told us you wanted open spaces where your horse can breathe and settle. Firm tracks that are kind underfoot. A small supportive group where you don't feel out of your depth. And a guide who genuinely cares about you and your horse.

Jenny and Breeze have got you 💚

Wide open moorland tracks stretch out ahead of you with the most incredible views over Curbar Edge and the surrounding Peak District countryside. It feels big and beautiful — but completely safe and supported throughout 🌄

Jenny manages every gate so you stay mounted and relaxed from start to finish. And with just 4 riders it's a truly personal experience — not a big group hack where you feel lost in the crowd 🐴

And for our Sheffield and South Yorkshire riders — we are just 20 minutes from Sheffield city centre! No long trailer journey, no early morning stress. Just a short hop and you're on some of the most beautiful moorland in the Peak District 🌿
