Mimi’s first socialising lesson!

Posted by on Apr 17, 2011 in General News, Mimi | 1 comment
Today seemed as good a day as any to finally try Mimi in with another horse. Up until now Mimi has been next door to other horses but never in with them. One reason was because there was never a herd here we felt was suitable to put her in with, but we think we found a good match for her in Jolie. Whilst we don’t ever want to see a horse get injured, we felt that due to Mimi’s...

“Where there’s muck…..”

Posted by on Mar 27, 2011 in General News, Horses | 0 comments
An unavoidable part of keeping equines is the fact that they produce manure….manure in great quantities!

From the Sublime to the Ridiculous

Posted by on May 29, 2010 in General News, Horses, Tourism | 0 comments
Within the space of a few weeks I’ve seen both ends of the spectrum of horse welfare from the extreme neglect of the unwanted souls at markets, to the minutest attention to detail paid to the horses behind the scenes at the Saumur 3* 3DE. After recent outings to several Foires des Chevaux, it was wonderful to be going to a horse event simply for fun, with no intent other than to catch up...

James Gray Disappears As Appeal Fails

Posted by on May 15, 2010 in General News, Welfare | 0 comments
The appeal against the sentencing of James Gray and his family was rejected on Wednesday the 12th of May at Aylesbury Crown Court. All sentencing was upheld, with Gray receiving a a lifetime ban from keeping horses, a 26 week prison sentence (sadly the maximum allowed for such an offence) and instructed to pay £400,000 costs. The other four family members had minimum disqualification periods...
