Lovely pic and good to remember that horses don't mind if you ride them or not, as long as they are well cared for and loved 🥰

We say this all the time 💗

Love this ❤️

🐴 A Ribbon, A Hug, and a Whole Lot of Heart 🏆

In a world that moves fast, sometimes the most profound moments come quietly—like a tiny rider with big dreams hugging their gentle pony after a show. 🥹💖

This little champion didn’t just win a ribbon today. They won something far more precious: trust, friendship, and a memory that will last a lifetime. Their bond reminds us that success isn’t always about trophies—it’s about love, connection, and the journey we take together.

Moments like this are why we ride. Why we train. Why we care.

To all the little riders out there—and the ponies who carry their dreams—you’re the heart of the equestrian world. 🐾✨

Thank you so much to JShpicture for making this picture possible! 🙏

No matter how crazy our ideas you turn them into reality. A memory to cherish for a lifetime and one we’ve dreamed of creating since we knew Wilde was on his way.

That ever present worry, for those of us with ponies especially. Lots of great information to be found on Animalweb, and most importantly based in science!

⚠️“Drought”, Rain, Sun, Grass Growth, Laminitis, Colic!⚠️

Possibly the driest spring on record for the UK, low grass growth, some recent rain, more rain to come and then sun and the potential rebound in grass growth! The result? Increased risk for laminitis and colic!

As you can see from the image below, the rainfall from January to April 2025 has been low across the UK. This has resulted in a drop off in grass growth rates in May, with some parts of the UK having half the normal grass growth rate. But this could all be about to change with recent rain and more rain 🌧️forecast in the next few days followed by sun☀️with a flush of new grass 🌱which unfortunately increases the number of cases of laminitis and colic!

If you want to dig deeper into this topic and see how you can reduce the risk of colic or laminitis for your horse or pony, then check out the resources below from some of our experts including equine practitioner with over 25 years experience in practice Dr Kieran O'Brien and Dr Kirstie Pickles who is a European specialist in equine medicine and has spent over 20 years working in private equine practice and academia in the UK, the USA and New Zealand.

Just LOVE this photo! And for the parents of boys - doesn't this look familiar? 😆

This is what true love looks like.
Honestly, they do love each other, they just have a funny way of showing it.

In Eastern Germany there is a wonderful horsey tradition - Osterreiten - where men ride horses in procession on Easter Sunday, to announce the resurrection of Jesus. They ride at a steady pace, in formal clothing and with the horses in decorated saddles and bridles. Often there a large number of riders, making for a fantastic spectacle.
