🐾 We've been keeping a secret... 🐾

We're delighted to introduce the newest members of the Berkshire Riding Centre family... Ben and Jerry! 🐱🐱

Our feral (not so feral!) cats have been settling in really well and have now been released onto the yard.

You'll probably see Ben around quite a bit. He's the more vocal of the pair and absolutely loves being the centre of attention. Don't be surprised if he appears out of nowhere to say hello and make sure all eyes are on him!

Jerry is a little more shy and is still building his confidence, so if you spot him, please give him some time and space to settle in at his own pace.

We're so pleased to have them both here and can't wait for everyone to get to know them. 💚

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone for an extraordinary woman who is the heart and soul of Berkshire Riding Centre, Rosie.

Thank you for everything you do for leading with passion, for caring so deeply about every horse and every rider, and for being the incredible owner, mentor, and teacher that you are.

Thank you for the countless hours you devote to your clients, your horses, and your team. Your endless patience, your wisdom, and the joy you bring to the yard make BRC the special place it is. You inspire confidence, nurture talent, and remind us all why we love what we do.
