Itโ€™s been super cold the last few days and with the cold weather that snow is freezing !

Luckly our Shetlands are designed for the cold and windy weather, so they are happy and warm. On the other hand I need a sledge or skis to get up and down the field ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ˆ

Coco - our oldest Shetland has this game worked out . As the other three stand at one of the highest points of the field heโ€™s down the bottom taking shelter with his own personal bundle of haylage . Heโ€™s to smart for this world โค๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„

๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿด Learningโ€ฆ but make it OUTDOORS (and horsey!) ๐Ÿด๐ŸŒฟ
Looking for a fresh way to learn that doesnโ€™t involve sitting at a desk all day?
Welcome to outdoor learning with horses โ€” where education comes alive in the field ๐Ÿ’š
Our sessions are suitable for all ages and combine:
โœจ Hands-on horse care
โœจ Outdoor, nature-based learning
โœจ A gentle mix of academic skills (maths, literacy, problem-solving)
โœจ Confidence building, teamwork & wellbeing
From measuring feed and counting hooves ๐Ÿงฎ
to reading instructions, writing reflections โœ๏ธ
to learning responsibility, empathy and resilience โค๏ธ
All learning is field-based, practical and fun, with a horsey twist that keeps curiosity high and stress low.
Perfect for:
โœ”๏ธ Children who learn best outdoors
โœ”๏ธ Home-educated learners
โœ”๏ธ Those who struggle in traditional classrooms
โœ”๏ธ Anyone who loves animals and fresh air
No riding required โ€” just muddy boots, open minds and a love of learning ๐ŸŒฑ
๐Ÿ“ Bankfoot , Perthshire based
๐Ÿ“ฉ Message for details, availability or to book
Because education doesnโ€™t have to look the same for everyone โ€” sometimes it looks like horses, fields and smiles ๐ŸŽโœจ

Itโ€™s a snowy day for our ponies โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒจ๏ธ.

This is such a great things to see , all the snow lying on their backs .
This tells us something very important โ“๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ
That they are warm and cozy on the inside ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฅฐ.

Shetlands are cool they have very thick double coats . The undercoat is dense and traps air, creating warmth . While the outer layer is longer and coarser repelling rain / snow and protecting them from the wind, keeping the undercoat nice and dry ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿคฏ.

If that snow was melting on their backs we would be worried that their heat is expelling from their bodies meaning they could get cold very quickly โค๏ธ.

Progress ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜.

Our lean to is under way . We just have sides to go on when itโ€™s a little warmer .

This will give us space for non horsey activities out the cold and wind or out the sun in the summer ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฅฐ.

That was a cold job building that over the last two days ๐Ÿฅถ๐Ÿ™ˆ.
