Bessie update - I am sad to say she is leaving Kingsmead tomorrow.

We have spent a long time trying to give her a job with us; she came to us having had a tough start leaving her with many lingering issues ( both physical and emotional) and despite the dedication of the team we simply couldn't get her fit; which meant she would not be able stay here.

I wish I could keep every horse who arrives here however it just isn't feasible. So sometimes I have to make decisions with my head and not my heart.

Her future is uncertain ( due to her ongoing health problems) however I know she is in good hands.

I know a lot of you will miss her as she has grown a massive fan club and loves her pamper sessions. Thank you for all the kindness you have shown Bessie; even the broken ones need loving!

Nico left us today to enjoy a much earned retirement.

What an amazing boy he is! He has done pretty much everything here and done it with style. He has held people's hands through so many experiences without asking anything in return.

I know many of you will miss him massively however it really is his time to lead a slower life where he can be a horse.

We just want to thank The Round Pen Company for generously providing us with a round pen.

Our first pen has proved such an asset ( not to forget the top class craftsmanship) , I had no hesitation in contacting them when I wanted another.

Dinky is acting nurse!

Box rest can feel very isolating, so we introduced a friend, who is very protective.
