🚦🐎 Let’s Make Our Roads Safer for Horses & Riders 🐎🚦

We’re hosting a British Horse Society - Local Road Safety Event on Thursday 18th September 2025 after concerns from local riders about dangerous roads.

This event will be an ideal opportunity to raise awareness and look at ways in which we can make horse riding for both adults and children within our semi- rural area a safer place to ride.

📅 Thursday 18th September 2025 @ 7pm
✅ Please RSVP (details in the post)

We’ve had messages from concerned members of the public about dogs being exposed to loud music at events 🎶

Their hearing is sensitive, and what’s fun for us can be overwhelming and harmful for our dogs. As much as we love sharing special moments with them, not every setting is appropriate.

Sometimes the kindest choice is to not bring our pooches along, so they stay safe and relaxed at home.

Brush up on your knowledge of body language signals and get to know how your dog is feeling: https://bit.ly/2FYK0YZ

🐾Limping
🐾Slow to rise
🐾Difficulty jumping
🐾Changed behaviour
🐾Reluctant to play
🐾Stiffness
🐾Licking or chewing joints
🐾Muscle loss

While we can’t stop the disease we can use pain management and give dogs a good quality of life 💕 Please book an appointment with one of our vets 🩺

👗👒SUSIE👒👗

Frens meet Susie,Our Frosty Lady with a Heart of Gold

Susie is a beautiful 12 year old Patterdale Terrier who was heartbreakingly abandoned in her twilight years. Despite everything she has been through, Susie has a young heart and an adventurous spirit. she is always ready to explore and enjoy life’s little moments.

This sweet girl has wonderful doggy manners and takes everything in her stride. She has shown us that she is kind, gentle, and well-rounded. When Susie first arrived, her nails were painfully overgrown, making it uncomfortable for her to walk, but after some much-needed TLC, she is now much more comfortable and happy.

We may never know why Susie ended up homeless, but what we do know is that she deserves the very best “happily ever after” – a warm, loving home where she can truly relax and enjoy her golden years.

Susie could potentially live with respectful children and other neutered dogs of similar size and energy. We are also happy to introduce her to resident cats at our centre to ensure compatibility.

As with all our dogs, we recommend enrolling in training classes to help build strong bonds and support Susie as she adjusts to her new life.

If you have room in your heart and home for this frosty lady, Susie is ready and waiting to meet you.
