Presently there are no ponies or horses to sell or loan. It's worthwhile contacting the Riding School or the livery yard as there is usually someone looking for a sell or loan.

In August we took Jade, Bronté, Paris, Poppy, Molly, Rupert, Pudding, Olimpic, Oxo, Star and Pancake to Camber Sands in East Sussex.

A gallop across a beach is something every rider should experience at some time. It was great fun - and only 3 of our riders fell off! We hope to have a photo gallery of our visit on this site very soon.
