AVALON MILL MR BISCUIT

🌿 Small Companion Gelding Looking for a Loving Home 🌿

This lovely young Shetland x Cob gelding came to us as a rescue and has made incredible progress. He’s around 11.2hh, very well handled, and has a truly sweet, steady nature.

He’ll make a perfect small companion — he’s happy to be left alone and has even lived happily with our 18hh 6-year-old without any issues!

He’s looking for a kind, experienced home where he’ll be loved and cared for. In time, he may have potential to be lightly backed when old enough, but our main goal is finding him a secure, kind companion home.

✅ Well handled and easy to do
✅ Up to date with worming, vaccinations & farrier
✅ Will have a basic health check before leaving
✅ Happy turned out alone or with company

We will retain ownership, but he can be taken on and loved as your own to help us make room for more horses in need or if your circumstances change he can just come home

📍 Loving, knowledgeable homes only – this special boy deserves the very best.

🚨 Exciting News! 🚨

Avalon Mill are hosting 2 special FUELLED (HAFF) days designed specifically for children with SEND who thrive in smaller groups and over shorter activity sessions. 💜

This is an amazing opportunity made possible by North Lincs Council, and we’d love to give them the credit they deserve for supporting children and families in our community. 🙌

But here’s the important bit: the more support and interest these days receive, the more chance we’ll have of running even more of them in the future – and that’s what we all want for the children.

👉 As soon as this is live I will post the booking link – please be ready to share!

✅ Like & share this post far and wide

✅ Spread the word to friends, family, schools, and SEND groups

✅ Let’s make sure every child who could benefit hears about this!

Together, we can make a huge difference. 💙

The dates will be:

27th December

30th December

Spaces are limited due to smaller groups however if we fill them we may get more days 🙏

Just a post to re-introduce who we are and what we do

We have been quietly working away on this project and should have a web page available this week on our Avalon Mill website ……….


Welcome to Isle Ride to Recover CIC

Rebuilding Trust, Reclaiming Strength

Two Paths, One Journey: Healing Together

At Isle Ride to Recover CIC, we believe in second chances — for horses and for people.

We are a community interest company based on the Isle, dedicated to transforming lives through the unique and powerful bond between horse and human. Our mission is twofold:

To support riders of all ages with both visible and hidden disabilities, offering therapeutic and adaptive equestrian experiences that build confidence, strength, and freedom.

To rescue and rehabilitate horses and ponies who have suffered neglect, abuse, or abandonment giving them the care, compassion, and purpose they deserve.

Whether you’re a nervous beginner, a seasoned rider navigating new challenges, or someone seeking peace and purpose, our stables offer a safe, welcoming space where growth happens — slowly, kindly, and with four hooves by your side.

Together, we ride toward recovery.

Isle Ride to Recover CIC was founded by Sarah Cumberland, a UKCC Level 3 Showjumping Coach with a deep passion for both competitive sport and inclusive, healing horsemanship.

Selected by British Showjumping to represent Great Britain, I’ve had the privilege of competing internationally in both para and able-bodied disciplines, with wins across prestigious arenas in Munich, Bonheiden (Belgium), La Baule (France), and throughout the United Kingdom.

Alongside my competitive career, I’ve also worked as an external trainer for Bransby Horses, where I’ve had the privilege of breaking in and rehabilitating many of their rescue horses and ponies, preparing them for new beginnings in loving foster homes. My journey—marked by resilience, trust in the horse, and the belief that riding is for everyone—fuels the mission behind Isle Ride to Recover. Here, I use my experience not just to coach, but to empower riders of all abilities and restore the lives of horses who, like many of us, just need another chance.

I’m joined in this mission by my husband John and supported every step of the way by my daughter, Elle, who has groomed internationally and plays a hands-on role in the daily care and rehabilitation of our horses. Our other company, Avalon Mill, is named in honor of the remarkable horse I competed with—a partner who inspired not only my career, but this entire vision - my beautiful Avalon Mill also known as Betty

🌟 Introducing Our Logo: A Symbol of Healing and Hope 🌟

We are proud to share the official logo for Isle Ride to Recover, representing our mission to rescue horses and rehabilitate riders. At the heart of the design is a bright yellow awareness ribbon,

You may also see our para horses wearing a yellow ribbon in their tails in collecting rings—just as stallions traditionally wear white. This serves as a gentle, respectful signal to other riders that the horse and rider may need a little more space, patience, or awareness, as part of a commitment to inclusivity and safety in equestrian sport.

Nestled within the ribbon is a powerful image of a rider and horse gently connecting, highlighting the deep bond and mutual trust that define our work.

The bold colours and clean lines make our message unmistakable: recovery, resilience, and the transformative power of the human-horse relationship.

This logo is more than just a design—it stands for resilience, recovery, and the incredible partnership between humans and horses.
