🩷🐴 ADULTS SADDLE CLUB!🐴🩷

What a fantastic day we had at our Adults Saddle Club with our brilliant Chief Coach, Mandy! 🥰

The riders were split into two groups, with both groups starting the day with a flatwork lesson, focusing on improving their riding skills, technique and confidence in the saddle. 🐎

After a well-earned lunch break, it was time for a little theory! Mandy took everyone through striding, using a tape measure to help everyone visualise and better understand distances between poles. 📏🐴

Armed with their new knowledge, it was time to get back in the saddle for the second riding session of the day! Working in their two groups again, everyone enjoyed a variety of polework exercises, putting their understanding of striding into practice.

Everyone rode brilliantly, showing real determination and enthusiasm!🌟

A huge thank you to our fantastic Chief Coach Mandy, whose knowledge, encouragement and passion for teaching make these sessions so enjoyable and rewarding for everyone. 🩷

A brilliant day of riding, learning and great company! Well done to everyone involved! 🐴🩷👏

🎃🐴 HALLOWEEN FUN DAY! 🐴👻🩷

What a spooktacular day we’ve had at Little Margate, filled with ponies, games and lots of Halloween fun, all with our wonderful coaches Julie and Sarah! 🎃🕷️🩷

We kicked off the morning by catching our ponies and giving them a lovely groom before getting creative with some spooky Halloween artwork and accessories! Our ponies certainly looked the part! 👻🐴🎨

Next, it was time to set up the arena and practise our Halloween games on foot, making sure everyone knew what they were doing before getting on!

After a well-earned lunch break, it was time to tack up and let the games begin! 🏇🎃 Everyone had great fun with their ponies!

To finish off the day, we untacked, gave our ponies some love and care and got them all settled and ready for bed before heading home! 🩷

A huge well done to everyone who joined us! We loved seeing all the smiles, teamwork and laughter throughout the day 🥰.

And a big thank you to our fabulous coaches Julie and Sarah for making the day so much fun! 🥰

What a fantastic day of Halloween pony fun! 🎃👻🐴🩷

🐴🩷 ANOTHER WONDERFUL WEEK AT LITTLE MARGATE! 🩷🐴

From lessons and Pony Club fun to show jumping, some rather wild weather and beautiful autumn hacks, there’s been a bit of everything this week! 🥰

🐴 Monday – We kicked off the week with lessons with Sarah, followed by a fun-filled Pony Club Rally with Faith!

🌟 Tuesday – More fantastic lessons with Julie before an exciting afternoon and evening with Rachel’s first Show Jumping Clinic of the Winter Series! It was wonderful to see so many riders and ponies getting involved, building confidence and achieving their goals! 🏆

💕 Wednesday – A lovely day of private lessons with Mandy and Julie, with plenty of riders developing their skills and enjoying time in the saddle.

🐎 Thursday – A busy day of lessons with Julie and Cassy, keeping both horses and riders having plenty of fun and learning lots!

🌧️ Friday – The awful stormy weather certainly had other ideas for our plans! We managed to run our evening lessons with Sarah, but the weather meant a much quieter day than usual!

💕 Saturday – Saturday was Sharers Day! Despite the weather still keeping things a little quieter than usual, it was lovely to have some time dedicated to our wonderful sharers and their four-legged friends. Sometimes even the quieter days at the yard are special! 🐴🩷

🍂 Sunday – We finished the week in the best possible way with our Autumn Hacks Day! There’s something so special about this time of year! 🍁🐴

A huge thank you to all our wonderful riders, families, coaches and, of course, our amazing horses and ponies who make every week so special, whatever the weather throws at us! 🩷

It was amazing to see so much progress, confidence growing, challenges being overcome and goals being achieved. There were smiles, determination, plenty of encouragement and some really proud moments along the way! 🥹🩷

No matter what level you were jumping at, every single rider and pony had something to celebrate, and that’s what makes these clinics so special! 🫶🏼

Last weekend we headed to Pontispool camp and what a weekend we had 🤩! The weather was almost perfect bar a little rain briefly on Saturday morning but that didn’t dampen our spirits! We had chief coach Mandy, Rachel and Faith teaching all weekend and each group achieved SO much 🥹, seeing the progress from start to finish was just incredible to see! The food and accommodation was brilliant as always and it really feels like a home from home now as we have been so many times 🥰. Our favourite thing to see at camps is the encouragement and support everyone gives each other and most of all the love for their epic ponies 🥹🥰. We are now ready and raring for a winter full of training and fun! We are busy plotting lots of exciting things 🥰 Photos by the insanely talented Julia Powney Photography 🩷. Xx
