Happy one year Miss Bluebelle 🥳🥰
Coincidentally, this also marks the day I broke my ankle 🙈 fortunately, Blue had already arrived by the time I decided to injure myself 😂

Here’s to the next year little girl 💖

After what has been a very difficult few days, with more hospital visits than hot dinners 🏥 I am now feeling well enough to share about our most recent departure.
Our biggest resident to date, Colonel ♥️ we are really pleased for his owner who has been able to move him much closer to home so that she can see him every day and not have to battle with the M6 and spend hours in her car to visit us 😂 it will also be lovely to see him and Sam reunited in the coming weeks 🥰 Big Man moved just in time to see in the New Year with his mum 🎆
Originally Colonel came to us on retirement livery, but with a little TLC and help from our wonderful vets at Little Rock, he soon came out of his shell and was brought back into work 🐎 it is safe to say that everyone who met him adored his gentle giant ways and even my niece was fortunate enough to ride a Shire Horse! He was such a good boy that even our personal 4yo stallion was tolerated by him 😂
We are so very grateful to have been part of Colonel and his mums journey and we look forwards to catching up with them once everyone is settled in and perhaps the weather is a little nicer ☀️ we miss you both already but love the updates that we have received so far, complete with his happy squeal on video 🥰

A very Merry Christmas to all 🎄🎁 the Salthouse tribe have been spoiled by 🎅🏻 as always 🥰

Two years ago today, we opened our doors to our very first livery client 🥳
It’s been a very busy two years and we have met some truly wonderful people, but as we look towards the next 12 months we will rarely be opening our doors to new clients. We have decided to keep the yard smaller and ensure that all of us are able to enjoy the atmosphere - drama free. If you are on the waiting lists, please do not be offended, this is very much a personal decision in light of events that have unfolded over the past 6 months.
Picture of our newest resident, Reggie, meeting our 4yo stallion for the first time 🥰 Reg has been with us for almost 2 weeks and is growing in confidence each day ♥️ he is part of our coblet family, with his owner now keeping 3 ponies with us while she works abroad 🇰🇼

We’ve been very quiet on here as of late - everything is going well, we’re just busy 😅

But today marks a special day, even if slightly bitter sweet. Two years ago to the day we signed our contracts taking on Salthouse Stables and what a two years it has been! We feel very privileged to have been part of so many individual journeys and to have made what we would consider, life-long friends ♥️ as we look toward the next year, we have some exciting plans in place 🤞🏻 and despite being incredibly busy, we are looking towards 2026 with a huge amount of hope, a good dollop of love for what we are creating, and a dash of “f*** it” for good measure 😂

Having said that, today we have also waved goodbye to Sam as he has gone to his new home much closer to where his owner lives. Sam’s journey has certainly been an interesting one, from us haggling with his seller, collecting him over the Easter weekend and then him having several health issues partly due to having such a poor start, we are now confident that Sam has landed on his feet, is in much better physical health and will now get to enjoy some quality time with his owner 🥰 we wish them both the absolute best of luck and look forwards to some updates of him as he enters his 3rd year of life 🐴 here’s to looking forwards to the next chapter ♥️

Last week we had to give our beautiful Savannah the final hug goodbye. We have no words to express the loss felt by the entire Salthouse family, but we feel that this poem is a good tribute to Sav.

“If the day should come when i'm in pain
and you know i won't be well again
promise me you'll do what must be done
if this is the battle which can't be won.

It'll break your heart, but please be kind
don't let your grieving sway your mind
for this is when you'll let me see
just how much you do love me.

Together we've had many happy years
the future now can hold no fears
please don't let me suffer
and when that day comes, please let me go.

For my usual vet please will you send?
but stay with me until the end
hold me steady, speak to me
til my once bright eyes no longer see.

In time i hope you'll come to see
it's the last kindness you'll do for me
one more time please stroke my mane
and know that i'll have no more pain.

And don’t be sad that it was you
who decided that this was what to do
we've been such buddies through the years
don't let me be the cause of tears.

You'll always see me graze now
with the sun upon my back
painful limbs won't tire me now
however long the hack.

I live now in your heart and mind
a lovely place to stay
and what you have in memories
no one can take away.”

Run free beautiful girl ♥️
Our deepest, most heartfelt sympathies to all of Savannah’s family at this truly heartbreaking time. Please know that Sav was as much a part of our family and so very loved in her final months.

There really isn’t anything better than our late night checks on the horses - such a peaceful time to just be present in the moment 🌝
