Kicking off the New Year!

With K week! Happy New Year everyone!

Kitchen Madness!

John has been amazingly busy this festive break repurposing some old doors into some amazing kitchen counters! We were very lucky to have the units donated and thank you to Wickes who allowed us to finish off by donating the tiles! We are so proud of the work John has done on the kitchen, particularly in the spirit of recycling, where nothing has go to waste! The kitchen has also been used for both Dressage and Show Jumping and has been very popular with our café volunteers. Maybe in the new year we'll have a celebratory coffee morning to celebrate our new kitchen! Let us know if you'd like to come!

Krazy Fundraising Idea?

Now's the time! New year, no excuses! Let's do something new and exciting and to raise funds and support your favourite charity (that's us)!. December is always a very difficult month financially for us. We aren't able to offer as many sessions due to the Christmas closure and people don't have the disposable income to book extras or donate. But January is a time for renewal, resolutions and getting out there and doing something positive. Whether you want to try Dry January, and donate the money you would have spent on alcohol, or try Veganuary and donate the money you would have spent on meat, or take on a challenge like a 5K, let us know and we can share your journey, support you and shout your good deeds from the roof tops! Have you always wanted to run a marathon? Fancied an excuse to shave your head? Maybe you love baking but don't want to eat all the cake - you could hold a bake sale! Tell us what you're doing and we will share your journey far and wide! Help us get the power of horses to more humans this 2026!

Knowledge is Power!

And in order to be in the know, you need to sign up to our emails. We have recently heard from a lot of you who were concerned you were no longer being emailed when new lessons are available to book, or when we have activities you can take part in, like the Nativity.

This is because when EC Pro prompted you to update your privacy settings you selected that you didn't want to hear from us. If you want to know when new activities are available to book, or when there are changes to your lesson, or if there is any disruption on the roads, you need to make sure you have your contact preferences set to allow it. Click on the three lines at the top of your account and select "Account Details". Your contact preferences are at the bottom of the page.
