Hi and apologies. One of the farms business partners has had a bad accident. Is out of intensive care and on the mend but v traumatic for everyone, he's still in hospital will be for a while yet. This, combined with an already exhausting summer rides schedule, has affected their ability to get to calls emails are untouched. Am terribly sorry, but it is what it is. We are a rural business with a small team and cannot simply draught in the skill set required. This week we have our Cumbrian Classic Ride out and a lot of pre booked tides, plus Annie is taking on farm management as partner is in hospital. Not ideal but we cannot change anything. Will be working hard to try and catch up asap. With sincere apologies and hope this helps you understand, we're not ignoring you, we just cannot do more atm. It will improve!!! Please bear with us the yard and horses are ace but comms has been affected really sorry xxx

Hi there,it's been a while since you messaged but I wanted to answer to possibly help folk in future. We ask that people prebook, as we arrange staff and horses to suit the rides/ rider's. Some of our horses are very forward going g, others steadier. They are very big, so we do need to take extra care! We cannot, due to increasing amounts of Health and Safety guidelines, have you wondering around the yard unaccompanied as we are trying to get horses ready, but if the timing works we will give you a tour where we can introduce you to our horses. If its busy this might not be possible. I hope this helps, we are a friendly bunch but have horses to prepare for riding. Many thanks Annie xxxx
