Charlie was a little pony with such a big character, he was loved by everyone and sadly died of a heart attack during the night.
Soren was a gorgeous horse who was one of the most talented horse we'd had at the stables. He would jump out of his skin just to please you, and both will be sorely missed. He died of dehydration/exhaustion after getting stuck in a ditch for more than 18 hours.
In addition, we also have had to give Danny back to his owners because he had a conditions called 'wobbles' where he had a blocked nerve in his spine.
New additions to the stables include:
Bobby, unbroken ten year old cob-
Bella, currently on part livery-
And Paddy, ex-racer-
At riding I have been helping every Saturday for the last three and a half years and riding for the last nine years and have had many responsibilities including:
- Taking out rides- generally for hour hacks round the beautiful countryside
- Teaching new riders
- Mucking out
- Feeding
- Grooming
- General care eg- putting on rugs, picking out hooves etc.
- Helping lead young novices
- Helping to run clubs for children eg- 'pony club' and 'picnic rides'
- Being around for help with most things! Such as bookings, queries, questions
I really enjoy helping at Hyfields and will continue to help there for as long as I can!
