Happy Easter everyone! 🐣🍫

For obvious reasons the 14th April pony day is cancelled. For those of you who have paid a deposit, we can either carry this forward to another pony day later in the year, or you can have a discount on your next lesson. Hopefully we can have better news of a new date sometime in the near future. Thank you!

Hi everyone! Incase you've been wondering what Andrew's been up to lately, he has been tidying up the muck heap and other maintenance jobs on the machines! Here is a picture of him working hard on the JCB which many of you will not have seen moving before! :)

The horses best day of 2020 so far (in their opinion). Out on to some grass for spring and sunshine on their backs! That and a good roll to itch their moulting coats! Ahhhh 😍. The summer paddocks arent ready yet so weve had to make do for a little while but they seem happy enough 😍

What a lovely day today, Shanty here enjoying the sunshine! Hope you are all staying safe! Dont forget to share if you have done any horsey arts and crafts whilst in lockdown! #day15

Hi from Ruby! It's been two weeks now since lockdown and we are starting to get into a routine, keeping the horses fit and healthy until we can open for lessons again!

What a lovely sunny morning for the horses! Here is Napoleon enjoying a roll first thing this morning. Hope you are all coping ok! #day13lockdown

Some of the horses / ponies have started going out into paddocks to enjoy some sunshine and grass. This is the first step for them working towards going onto the summer grazing when it is ready. Who can you spot having a synchronized rolling session? :)

Here's Valien (Val) enjoying a snooze in the sunshine in his field shelter 😍

Hi guys, day off for the horses today. Here is Indie enjoying eating and eating and some more eating 😂

Hi everyone! We are all missing you! #day9 #lockdown

Domino is enjoying his "holiday", and doesn't look his 35 years today! #covidlockdown #day8lockdown #bhsapproved #ponyclub

The cobs are missing you all after a week of lock down 😘

The horses are really enjoying their schooling sessions at the moment, giving us all chance to work on some of their school movements and also helps to break up their day! Lovely work from Borris, Tia, Lola, Bear and Richard here! As always a big thanks to our staff who are working so hard to keep the horses welfare standards high even when times are hard! We couldn't do it without you! :)

Exercising the ponies today. We are trying to keep all the horses fit and healthy while we are closed so they are ready for lessons when we can open again. However there is increased risk of something called laminitis for the ponies so it is so important we keep them exercised to keep them healthy during their break. They are all missing their young riders!

The horses have taken today to say a BIG THANK YOU to all our lovely customers who have been supportive via https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/h owdenequestrian or sponsoring a pony direct.

Stunning evening view over HEC tonight, stay safe and see you on day 3 😂
