🌟New Seasonal opening hours 🌟

We have decided to operate on seasonal opening hours

Going forward we will have a high season and a low season, currently we are still in low season.

This means that we will be open on Mondays but CLOSED Fridays & Saturdays.

We will still open at 10am but will close at 15.30

The High season will begin on the 21st of June and will revert to 6 days of opening and extended hours but will be closed on Saturdays instead of Mondays.

We hope everyone finds the changes useful and we will display live opening hours on the page info when Facebook decides to play ball again (hasn’t updated successfully after several attempts)

Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit

Friday saw us have to say an extremely sad farewell to one of the most amazing horses we had the pleasure to care for.

Scott joined our family many moons ago as a quirky fella to say the least, and one that had a sketchy past filled with more questions than answers.

After years of work building a special bond, this horse proved to have the heart of a lion and a gentle kind soul providing us with countless hours of joy and happiness and a true partner when hitched to a cart. He would drive for hours, head held high and gave it his all.

He forever kept his quirks, which made him a unique soul and all the more loveable, a favourite being his curly nostril, that always told you he wasn’t impressed!

He retired with us, reaching a grand old age for a horse of his size and lived many happy years out with the herd, but unfortunately, developed a partial paralysis in his oesophagus which meant he had to eat only fresh grass and a sloppy feed- this proved to much for him to fully recover and after a turn for the worse, he kindly and respectfully crossed the rainbow bridge.

He will forever hold a special place in our hearts here at hay farm and will be deeply missed by all those that cared for him.

Sleep well Scottie Boy, know you were always loved deeply 💙
