Blue vs sassy Shetland 🙈

26/05/2026

It's been a hot few days 🔥 we have been working hard to keep the ponies cool, with lots of electrolytes, water and shade. We cancelled most of today's lessons due to the heat, thank you to our wonderful clients for your understanding. And of course the girls are keeping cool too! Two of our lovely clients kindly brought some ice lolly's in for the staff this morning, which we must admit are nearly gone already 🙈 looking to be a bit cooler tomorrow 🤞

It looks like the sunshine is finally making an appearance, and with warmer weather expected this weekend we just wanted to send out a quick reminder about riding in the heat ☀️

As always, the welfare of our horses is our priority. The weather this spring has been all over the place — last week we had hail, and this weekend temperatures are expected to push towards 30 degrees! Just like us, the horses can find these sudden changes difficult to adjust to and they do not always know what to expect from one week to the next. This is particularly true for some of our heavier cob types, who can feel the heat more than others.

To help keep everyone safe and comfortable, lessons this weekend and in hot weather in general, will be kept low-key. This means sessions will focus on gentle schooling or hacking, with plenty of walk work and a more relaxed pace for both horses and riders.

We know many of you enjoy a more energetic lesson, and we appreciate your understanding while we look after our four-legged team during the hotter weather.

Please also take a look at the poster for guidance on what is suitable to wear for riding in warm weather. Riders should still wear appropriate riding clothing and footwear, but lighter layers are encouraged where possible.

We recommend:
• Lightweight, breathable clothing
• Long trousers/jodhpurs suitable for riding
• Riding boots or appropriate heeled footwear
• Plenty of water — staying hydrated is really important
• Sun cream and, when not riding, hats and shade where possible

Please remember that riding hats must still be worn when mounted.

For stable management sessions, shorts are absolutely fine to wear in the warmer weather (please no skirts or dresses), however appropriate footwear is still required at all times around the yard. This means boots, wellies, riding boots or sturdy walking boots — trainers, sandals and open-toe shoes are not suitable.

Thank you all for your support and understanding — we are looking forward to a lovely sunny weekend at the farm 🌞🐴

I have taken on a new role at the farm as the Equine Nutritionist. When I applied for this role, I didn't realise that it didn't include taste testing, or that horse food tastes gross to me.

I'll stick to my dreamies and Whiskas, and use this job opportunity to catch up on some well earned sleep.

We are extremely proud of two of our Pony Club members who volunteer with us through the Young Equestrian Leaders Award (YELA) programme. Yesterday, we took a trip to the Royal Windsor Horse Show, where both young ladies were presented with their YELA Gold Award.

Between them, they have completed an incredible 1,291 volunteering hours with us since 2024. During that time, they organised a Sponsored Poo Pick to raise funds for our Pony Club and have supported us across a huge range of activities, including Pony Parties, Summer Camps, Open Days, in-house dressage competitions, Pony Club competitions, and general riding school days — the list goes on!

This is a fantastic achievement, and we are forever grateful to our incredible volunteers who support us week in and week out, whatever the weather. Team Shardeloes is very proud!

Well done ladies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
