❗️ STILL MISSING: ANT – REWARD £150 ❗️

(She is smaller then most average cats and has destinctive face markings seen on photos).

Our much-loved cat, Ant, has now been missing for three weeks after accidentally hitching a ride in a van and jumping out at West Cairnbeg, Laurencekirk.

She is originally a yard cat from the Arbuthnott area, and because she is far from home, we believe she may be trying to navigate her way back or seeking shelter in unfamiliar territory.
Ant is an extremely friendly, vocal, and sociable girl who usually seeks out human company, so we are very surprised she hasn't been found yet.

She was last seen in the West Cairnbeg area shortly after she went missing, but there have been no confirmed sightings since.

We are desperately asking everyone in West Cairnbeg, Laurencekirk, and the surrounding routes toward Arbuthnott to please check your sheds, garages, and outbuildings. If you have taken her in or seen a friendly cat matching her description, please contact Kirsty immediately at 07783 657467.

We have been out searching most nights and just want her home safely. Please keep sharing this post to help us reach as many people as possible.

Thanks you to everyone that has helped so far it's been really appreciated.

Thank you Kirsty x

🙏🏻🙏🏻Reward of £150 for her safe return 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Our very friendly yard cat ended up taking a trip in someone's van and jumping out at West Cairnbeg, Laurencekirk. If anyone has seen her or taken her in, could they please contact me on 07783 657467.

She comes to her name, Ant, and is normally very friendly and sociable. She won't know the area and could be heading back to her home location in the Arbuthnott area, so please get in touch if you have seen her around any of these areas.

We have been searching for her but have had no luck so far. She was possibly last seen in West Cairnbeg on Saturday afternoon, but there have been no sightings since. Her bed and food have also been left out in the location where she went missing.

Please share 🙏🏻

I’m looking to be more active on my page again! After being so good with my updates in the past, I feel it’s only right to start 2026 with a new goal of keeping up with more regular updates on the yard and life 😊.

It’s been a bloody long January, but there has been some time for fun in the snow and our first horse of 2026 arrived for backing. So here’s our first official update!

Gracey arrived and started her first week of school. She’s taken everything so far very well and settled into the routine and work brilliantly.
The horses have all moved into their winter grazing now and I’m feeling incredibly lucky to have the space we have to ensure we have lots of grass for them all year round and, at the moment, very little mud 🌧.
Mirren’s been helping muck out, riding Sammy and playing with her mud kitchen.🎠

We have had a lot of interest in Backing and Schooling Livery for this year, and I am entirely grateful for all the messages, but I do have very limited spaces now. If you are thinking of booking in for backing and schooling please do get in touch as I’d hate for anyone to miss out.

It’s always busy here but we are looking forward to the year ahead.

Goals for 2026 :

- Be more organised
- Keep my updates regular
- HAVE FUN!

Another update coming soon. 🤞🏻😂

On behalf of client.

Winter Project Pony Seeking a Forever 🏠.

Chyio is a charming 4-year-old, 13.3hh black mare with a wonderful temperament, ready to find her perfect person. She has begun her ridden career on a professional yard, giving her a solid, positive foundation.
Her full history is know and only had one owner since birth.

While she's comfortable with a rider walking, she is still building her confidence with trotting. She shows consistent improvement with each session and is an excellent opportunity for an experienced rider to bring along a talented young horse.
This sweet mare is a dream to handle and loves human interaction. She would flourish in a one-on-one environment where she can get all the attention she deserves.

* 13.3hh, 4-year-old black mare
* Vaccinations,worming teeth are up to date.
* Price reflects her current stage of training and will increase as her education progresses.

No time wasters or joy riders.
Will need a confident balanced rider, absolutely no novices.

Opportunity for Experienced Rider: Share or Loan Landa 🐎
16.1hh, 15 years old bay mare.
I'm seeking a confident and experienced rider to share or loan my mare, Landa, as I regrettably don't have the time she deserves.
She loves attention and is very easy to manage on the ground.

It's important to understand that Landa is not suitable for a novice or someone looking for a simple, fast hack. She needs an understanding hand and isn't the type to gallop wildly across open fields.
In the school, she's a lovely ride, though she can sometimes have a lazy streak. While it's been a long time, she has, on occasion, expressed her playful side with a small bronc – a little reminder that she needs a confident rider! Landa absolutely loves to jump and has good experience with cross-country schooling.
She would thrive with a rider who is confident and calm. She hacks out well and is excellent on roads and in wooded areas. However, I advise against extensive cantering in open countryside.

I'd prefer Landa to stay at our current yard just outside Stonehaven, and a financial contribution would be necessary. She's currently building her fitness but is keen to get back into work and make the most of the summer with a dedicated rider.
Opportunity to use horse box for shows or training to.
