Meet Muffin
Muffin was our first pony. He had a slight injury last June so is currently resting. He will get going again in the spring.

Smudge is great for teaching the kids to ride. He belongs to some friends of ours who lent him to us for one week (pony club camp). That was last July and he is staying for the winter!
We have given them half a lamb for the freezer fresh off the farm as bribery!
Riding with the kids is really special. Emma(7) and I went for a ride round the farm then back to do some jumping. First time Emma has jumped in canter. Only small jumps(about 40cm) but great to see
Mum cheered from across the field!
Sandy was bred here on the farm. He won a maiden point to point at Garthorpe in a very fast time and was rated 5th best in the country for his generation. How ever breathing problems curtailed his racing career and he has been eventing for the last 2 or three years.
I only rode him in one race, three fences from home I was wondering how far I would win! Then he couldn’t get enough oxygen and I had to pull him up straight away. A real shame but racehorses are fragile.
