This past week has been very different around the yard…

It’s been very quiet ! 🤣
With Pony Camp finishing the week before, the horses and ponies have been having a good, well deserved rest. 😊❤️

The yard feels so strange without all the noise, laughter, kids running around, ponies being groomed and fussed over and all the general madness that comes with Pony Camp! 😂 It’s amazing how quiet it feels when it’s all gone.

Looking back on the last few weeks, we really have had the BEST summer ! ☀️ The weather was absolutely unbelievable and made Pony Camp even more special .... sunshine, ponies, happy kids and plenty of fun!

A massive THANK YOU to every single one of the kids who came along. 🥰 You were all absolutely brilliant 😊😊

There were so many laughs, new friendships made, lots of riding, lots of learning and, of course, lots and LOTS of very pampered ponies 😊💛😊

It’s been so lovely watching everyone grow in confidence, learn new things, help each other and just enjoy being around the horses and ponies. There’s so much more to Pony Camp than just riding .... learning how to groom, tack up, care for the ponies, help around the yard and understand what goes into looking after them properly.

And of course, the ponies deserve a HUGE thank you too 🙏🙏 They’ve worked hard all summer and have been absolutely spoiled with grooming, cuddles, attention and probably far too many treats! 😂 They really are the stars of the show.

A massive thank you to our amazing staff as well. 💛💛💛💛 there is so much work that goes on behind the scenes to make Pony Camp happen ..... the early mornings, getting everything ready, looking after the ponies, teaching, helping the kids, cleaning, organising, tidying and then doing it all again the next day! 😂😅 We genuinely couldn’t do it without you 🥰💛🥰

And thank you to everyone behind the scenes who helps make everything run smoothly, and of course to all the parents for your continued support 🙏😊🙏😊 It really is appreciated more than you know.

Most of all, thank you for trusting us with your kids and letting us be part of their summer. 🥰

I think we can safely say… lessons were learned, friendships were made, ponies were pampered, memories were made and so much fun was had! ❤️🐴☀️

Thank you all so, so much for making Summer Pony Camp 2026 such a special one.

See you all for Halloween Camp 2026! 🎃👻🐴

What a weekend !! 😊😊😊😊🌞🌞🌞🌞💛💛👏👏👏

Absolutely amazing and so heartwarming to welcome everyone back again. After the longest few weeks, having the yard full again, hearing the laughter, seeing all the happy faces, kids chatting away excitedly, parents catching up, schoolies being fussed over and everyone just back together again… it was SO special.
The sun shone for us all weekend and the whole place just felt happy again 🥰🥰🥰

Watching lessons back in full swing, seeing our amazing staff family back doing what they do best 🙏☺️🫶 and our beautiful schoolies looking after everyone so perfectly was honestly so amazing ... .my face is actually sore from smiling 😅

We have missed this SO much. Missed all of you so much 💛

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the kindness, support, patience and love while we got through the last few weeks. Seeing everyone back this weekend reminded me exactly why we do what we do 💛💛🌞🌞😊😊🙏🙏

Onwards and upwards and its like it was all just a bad dream .. 🙏😊💛
