💗Pink pony party helpers picnic hack on Friday!💗

Our thankyou to all the amazing girls that have worked their socks off over an extremely busy 6 weeks!☀️
We wouldn’t be able to offer all that we do without their help, we are so very grateful to have them all!
The girls had their favourite ponies for an afternoon hack and a picnic stop in the beautiful estate🐴
Ponies took full advantage of an hours rest and lots of grass munching! Snacks and drinks galore delivered by the rest of the staff and helpers, who also enjoyed a more scenic lunch break for a change!🌳

Thankyou again to all that have helped us over the summer!🌞

Today's Summer Activity was the Jumping Competition, another first for Squirrel Wood!

First was grooming and plaiting, next up was the course walk and briefing with Lisa. Then it was everyone on board for the skills test, testing balance and position, followed by jumping a course, to see who could get a clear round in the quickest time.

Everyone rode brilliantly! And we were reminded that sometimes even the staff fall off, even it was the most elegant unplanned dismount we've all seen in a while! (Sorry Liv, it had to be done!)

1st place in the Skills test went to Maisey riding Josie, 2nd place was Scarlet riding Blue and 3rd was Sophia riding Rainbow. The clear round in the quickest time went to Izzy and Lolli.

Thank you to everyone who has supported our Summer Activities this year, we hope you've all enjoyed it as much as us and the ponies. If anyone has any feedback (good or bad) please let us know next time you're in the office.

This weeks summer activity was Thursday dressage day!🏅
We had another fully booked day of all ages and abilities of riders! The morning started with competition prep. 1st was the tack, all striped, cleaned and leathered followed by the horses and ponies. Cleaned, brushed and platted up ready for their tests🧽 Mid morning was a test run through for each of the riders. Each given pointers as to what to think about when it came to their turn! A much needed drink and refuel for both human and equines before the afternoon competitions started! Abi and Albert joined us for a ridden demo over lunch, showing our riders the accuracy, transitions and points our judge would be looking for! Then it was over to them! One by one each rider gave it their best at the test, being judged and cheered on every step of the way by each other. We had a brilliant afternoon joined by so many friends, family and staff enjoying the sunshine and fun! A massive well done to all 3 teams who gave it their all coming away with some great scores and rosettes🏆
Our horses and ponies looked after every rider impeccably, really giving it their all some even busting out more moves than needed!🐴

A 1st for Squirrel wood today for our summer activities! A natural horsemanship morning with Lisa!☀️
We had a fully booked morning with horsey enthusiasts of all ages and abilities.
Everyone learnt about horsenality, how to think like a horse and to understand how to use their body language around the horses. We had a mix of different horses through out the morning for everyone to have a go with. Piper and May being two of our more experienced right the way to baby Echo and the three shetlands who are all still learning the ways! We finished the morning with a demo from Lisa showing off some tricks with Piper and May!🐴
Apologies to anyone I may have missed in pictures! 📸
