Saying our Prayers 🙏 and giving thanks 🙏🙏🙏

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster of worries after dear Ruby’s foal was born sleeping on Saturday 💔 ### Ruby has been having amazing care from White Lodge Farm and Equine Vets . She has been at the vets since Tuesday with her best horse friend Chairman (aka TheFoalFather) by her side for cuddles and comfort ### She’s looking like she’s making a full recovery now and we can’t wait to welcome her home again soon safe and sound ###x

A huge thank you to all our pals, dear neighbours, friends and our wonderful vets for all their help and support ###

We’re looking forward to seeing you all for our Open Day on Saturday 12 September 2026 11am to 4pm ###

In the meantime we hope you’re keeping 😎 cool today.

We’re feeding lots of wet mashes and keeping everyone well hydrated through this spell of hot weather ###

Dear Ruby is even sharing some of her mash with Chairman in this little reel - he, of course, has already slurped his down🤣

Saying our Prayers

Very sorry to let you know that we needed a lot of help with Ruby’s foaling and her most beautiful little foal was born sleeping yesterday morning 💔

We have a lot to be thankful for though as Ruby herself is doing well and dear Neighbours and Vets all rallied round in the wee small hours of Saturday morning to help our lovely Ruby ###

Chairman (aka TheFoalFather) is giving her lots of cuddles in the barn now and she’s having every care for her speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

With heartfelt thanks to White Lodge Farm and Equine Vets and their fabulous team ###
