🤍🐴🥳 Happy Retirement Artie 🥳🐴🤍

After an incredible 13 years with us, it’s time for Artie to enjoy a well-deserved retirement!

Artie has been on working livery with us since being bought by Megan as a 10yr old. Now almost 24, he has been part of so many people's riding journeys, from complete beginners having their very first ride to more advanced riders developing their skills.

Over the years, Artie has enjoyed plenty of adventures, including fun rides, Pony Club camps and competitions, alongside his many riding school lessons. More recently, he has enjoyed a quieter life of hacking and RDA lessons.

Thank you Artie for 13 wonderful years of patience, kindness and hard work. You have taught so many people, made countless memories and played a special part in our yard.

If you have any fond memories of Artie, please share them in the comments as we'd love to hear them!

🚨Important Information for Competitors🚨

If you are joining us for any upcoming competitions, please be aware that we currently have a number of horses on the yard who are being treated for suspected ringworm.

These horses have not been in the paddock that we use for competitor parking, and competitors will not come into contact with the affected horses. Therefore, the risk to you and your horses is extremely minimal.

However, we wanted to make you aware of the situation so that you can make an informed decision about whether you still wish to attend.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
