Quinn had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Bailey of SB Saddle Fitters today to sort him out with a new saddle….lucky boy. Thanks go to Sarah for finding him his lovely The Ideal Saddle Company saddle and to Gill J for test riding.

Lovely article on the BHS North West page about Foxy.

It’s all about being part of the community and Foxy from Sandy Lane is just that.

Foxy joined the Sandy Lane Team in 2022 and has been firm favourite amongst the clients and staff ever since 🐴🩷
Foxy will turn her hoof to pretty much anything; RDA, dressage, jumping and even visiting a local care home to see the residents whom were still horse mad! 🥰

A funny fact about Foxy is that she loves to wee in the arena (we guess she doesn't like to get her bed dirty, for napping later on in the day)! 😂

Foxy is also a cuddler, all the coaches and clients get one at the end of their lesson!

🤝 BHS Approved Centres work hard to create welcoming, inclusive environments where riders of all ages and abilities can feel at home.

With it being so hot and only two riders in the last lesson, I decided to take them on a little hack before giving the horses a shower. What a lovely way to end the day ☀️💦

A huge congratulations go to Jo and Nicola who both achieved their grade 4 riding and horse care certification this morning.
Grade 4 is a very in-depth assessment which they both passed with flying colours. It was a lovely morning where they got to show off their horse care knowledge and riding abilities, well done to you both.

What a fantastic achievement 🏆🏆
