BallynaFagh Farm

Midweek doesn’t get much better than this 🐎🌳 Whether you’re dreaming of solo saddle time, a peaceful ride with a friend, or just more moments like this in your week - we’ve got you covered. We have a small herd of lovely, well-schooled horses and ponies available for part lease 3 days a week - including Sundays 🌟 Perfect for both Little & Big People who want more time in the saddle (without the full-time horse commitment 😉). 🌿 Ride. Connect. Breathe. Repeat. This is the BEST way to gift yourself a 'midweek reset' 💚 #PartLeasePonies #BallynaFagh #ballynafaghfarm #HorsesForTheSoul #MidweekMagic #horseridinguitenhage

🐴 Tiny jumps. Big smiles. Dirty hands! That’s what Saturday mornings are made of at BallynaFagh Farm 💫 Something new (and very exciting!) is coming soon for little horse lovers... Think ponies, play, and the perfect way to kick off the weekend 💥 We’re keeping the details under wraps for now - but trust me, if you’ve got a Little Person who’s obsessed with horses (or one who needs a break from screens!), you’re going to want to keep an eye out 🧐 💬 Drop a 🐎 in the comments if you want a sneak peek before we go live! #SaddleUpSaturdays #BallynaFaghFarm #PonyFun #horseridinguitenhage

There’s something about walking beside a horse that just… slows everything down. 🐴✨ Whether you’re brushing a muddy coat, leading them through the fields, or swinging your leg over as you mount up... Being around horses has a way of making the rest of the world feel a little quieter (and a lot less chaotic). I personally think it allows you to actually show up as a better version of yourself in your 'real life'! Here at BallynaFagh Farm, we have loads of different options for our 'Bigger People' who want to either connect or reconnect with horses - and maybe themselves, too! Whether you’re keen to learn to ride, get back riding again, take a trail down the river or in the veldt, learn to walk side by side with a horse through a field, build your confidence with groundwork, or just be around horses in a low-pressure way… Get in touch 👋 We pride ourselves on creating a space where you can relax and enjoy... No stress, no competition, no shouting instructors (promise 😉). Just you, some good company, and a few very patient horses 🐴🌟 Send me a quick WhatsApp message if you're curious - even if it’s been years since you last spent time with horses 0619740290 📱 You might be surprised how good it feels to come back 🐎 #BallynaFaghFarm #ballynafagh #horseridinguitenhage #getbackinthesaddle #returningtoriding

Guess what kids don’t ask for when they’re with the ponies? (Clue: It’s got a screen and makes noise.) 😉 Honestly, the thought never crosses their minds! No phones. No TV. No iPads. No tablets... Just (sometimes) muddy boots, grassy fields, fresh air - and ponies (the magic ingredient!) Lots of ponies. 🐴☀️ There’s something magical that happens when children spend time with horses... They light up from the inside out. They move their bodies. They laugh. They connect - with nature, with animals, with themselves. Honestly, I really do believe that being at the farm allows children to experience the kind of childhood that feels like it’s becoming so rare these days… And we’re so grateful that we get to help keep it alive here at the farm 🌿 #BallynaFaghFarm #ballynafagh #horseridinguitenhage #lettingchildrenbechildren #wildoutdoors #getchildrenoutsideinnature

There’s something about being around horses that resets your whole system… The stress of life just seems to melt! 🐴💭 It can even feel like the horse understands you better than people do? If you've been around horses, you know EXACTLY what I mean... Whether you’re grooming, walking through the fields, or simply watching them in the paddock - it's like you get to 'practice mindfulness' without having to actually do anything! We feel so blessed to share this space with them every day 🐴✨ #ballynafaghfarm #ballynafagh #lifewithhorses

A paddock with a view… 🐴 We’re busy with the newest paddock for the ponies; I’ve a feeling that they’re going to enjoy it! 💚 #ballynafaghfarm #horseridinguitenhage

Everything has its ups and downs... Working with and looking after horses is no different. There are the days when it feels like the BEST job in the world. You know, the 'hugs', whinnys, lazy grooming sessions, training breakthroughs, and the privilage of getting to know each and every individual. And then there are those other days... Now, without embarrassing or calling out any specific individuals (if you know, you know!), there are the days when a fence is just something to run through, when one horse tries to annihilate all of the others in the field, when gates are for jumping or busting through, human feet are for tramping on, or blankets and rugs are there to be destroyed... And yet, I bet like all other people who get to work with these amazing animals every single day, I wouldn't swap it for the world! (oh and Holly the dog is fine, a devil thorn in her paw 🐶🐾) #ballynafaghfarm #workingwithhorses #wouldnthaveitanyotherway #horseridinguitenhage
