Chainsaw work
A tree was blown down in the wind and collapsed one of our fences. Mark helped to cut and remove the tree before repairing the fence.
Jenny has her hooves trimmed
Chris works hard to trim the horses hooves. Regular farrier visits are important to help the horses stay sound and prevents future hoof and leg problems.
Fresh bales of hay
Each year we cut one of our paddocks for hay, this is it stacked ready to be covered.
Digging up ragwort
Here is one of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Volunteers digging up ragwort – a plant toxic to horses and people.
Note the ragwort fork and gloves for safety.
A new home awaits
One of our ponies is in the trailer in front, on their way to a new loan home. Good Luck!
Loading practice
We needed the trailer to take one of the horses to their new loan home. While we were with Barney, Cherry decided to load herself into the trailer.
Chris trims Tigg’s hooves
Chris the farrier attends our yard within a few days of the neglect cases arriving and trims their hooves to help restore their soundness and natural gait.
Spreading the tarpaulin
Shortly after we baled our hay, rain was forecast so we used tarpaulin to cover and protect.
Feeding the hay
