**WE ARE NOW CLOSED**
Due to retirement, the stables are now closed.
Thank you, so very much, for all the kind messages and calls.
All of the horses and ponies have now found wonderful new homes and I wish their new Mummmys good luck with them.
We do still have a large number of various rugs, boots, bandages and tack etc. plus hats and boots.
I’m sorry but we do not have time to go through it and list items individually nor answer messages regarding individual small items.
There are jump poles and cups also available, I think the wings/stands are spoken for.
