Our Wonderful Pony Ashfields Equestrian Trust Flay does it again ! He is so good at giving confidence to his drivers and we had just received this lovely post from Debs who has shone like a star under his Guidance
……… I booked a course of 10 carriage driving lessons with Minta at Ashfields and have had 6 lessons so far. I was nervous to start but Minta is such a good teacher and soon put me at ease and has made every lesson enjoyable and given me so much confidence. I can’t wait for my next lesson and I would highly recommend her. Debbie…..
thank you Debbie it’s Team work
Minta and Flay xx

Therapy comes in many forms and here at Ashfields we are so lucky to have the Ashfields Equestrian Trust pony Flay. His demeanour allows his favourite friends to exercise and spend quality horse time Gillian shows how grooming Flay gives her exercise, strengthening and balance practice and emotional connection with Flay , her smiles say it all and we love seeing her mobility progression and how much her carriage driving family mean to her

A wonderful few days. Huge respect to the organisers and so much thanks to the stewards and volunteers who were so helpful and welcoming.

Thanks to all organisers and stewards and volunteers and all the planning and coordination that goes into running the event it’s been brilliant and worth the drive south. Just passed the sign that we are back in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so making good time and 2/3 of the way home….

A big ⭐ to everyone involved. The time and effort everyone puts in to make it happen is really appreciated. Without this dedication it wouldn’t happen so a HUGE thank you !

Monday Mornings are very special to Dorothy as she travels up from
London to drive Ashfields Equestrian Trust Flay … loving her step back in time to her youth when she lived in the countryside.
Her driving has helped enormously with her fitness and well being and I love to hear all about her Grandchildren as we drive around Ashfields Carriage and Polo Club and Flay now’s exactly what he gets after his drive 🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕
