What our horses really love. Good food 😆 and that’s exactly what they get from Animals First with the best nutritional content and the most amazing smell and taste from top quality Dutch feed with hundreds of years in the growing and development. Ingredients matter and consistency matters that’s why our horses are fuelled by Hartog, Horsefood and Pavo supplied by Animals first.

Lovely to have the talented and very handsome Enzo come to stay with us for Scone International Horse Trials. Don’t forget to watch him in the main arena Saturday midday with Naomi Maxted-Massey along with Paul Fielder and Nick Turner. A great opportunity for a highly educational demo from a team of experts in their fields !

Much appreciation for our hay fields being cut and baled something very satisfying about those neat rows turned into round bales and leaving us with neatly cut fields !

To all of you who are prepping into the evening tonight for weekend shows or doing the early morning bath at dawn then dashing off in the Horsebox .. remember to take a moment to capture these special horse and rider moments in your mind. Not the competition ones as you’ll no doubt have a professional photographer doing that for you . Take a breath and little snapshot for your memories at the yard because these moments are just as special 💖 also GOOD LUCK competing and ENJOY!
