VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

🎉 Calling All Pony Lovers! 🎉

We're kicking off a competition with a difference—and this time, it's not about people... it's all about the PONIES! 🐴✨

We're on the lookout for one-in-a-million ponies to become the stars of our brand new Learning Club launching this June! 🌟 Each month, one very special pony will be featured in our exclusive subscription magazine, brought to life as a beautiful hand-illustrated digital sketch by our in-house artist (that’s me! 👩‍🎨).

💫 What we’re looking for:
A pony with personality, presence, and a story that deserves to be shared! Whether they're cheeky, brave, gentle, quirky, or just downright adorable—we want to meet them.

📝 Each featured pony will have their own showcase including:

Breed
Height
Age
Talents
Their unique charm and why they’re truly special

📸 HOW TO ENTER:

Comment below with a clear photo of them (on their own, please!) and tell us why you think they should be our next magazine star!

📌 Important: Entries must be ponies only (no horses this time, sorry!).

Please DO NOT DM us your entry, please keep them on the post so i can see them all and none will get lost!

And the BEST thing is this is not a 'one time' search! This will be an ongoing search for a star for as long as our subscription club continues.

The owner of the choosen pony each month will receive their artwork of their super star pony professionally printed and posted to them as a keepsake.

We're so excited to discover these wonderful little stars from across the pony world. Let the magic begin! ✨

Why Choose an ABRS+ Approved or Certified Livery Yard? 🌱

When you choose an ABRS+ Certified or Approved Livery Yard, you’re choosing 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱. These yards have been independently assessed to ensure they meet high standards of horse care, management, and professionalism – so you can be confident your horse is in safe hands. 🤝

ABRS+ knows there’s no such thing as a “standard” livery yard. That’s why every yard is assessed on a case-by-case basis, with bespoke criteria tailored to their services and facilities.

At the 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺, Certified yards are assessed to ensure they:

✔ Have a good level of equine care and management knowledge
✔ Employ appropriately trained and insured staff
✔ Provide well-maintained stabling, grazing & riding facilities
✔ Hold Public Liability and (where applicable) Care, Custody & Control Insurance
✔ Offer clear livery contracts and maintain proper horse & client records
✔ Undertake Health & Safety risk assessments

𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 with an in-person inspection for that extra layer of reassurance.

While these standards should be the norm across the industry, sadly not all livery yards meet them. 😔
