25th August- Schooling at Solihull Club.

8/25/2009

The youth opportunities fund supplied money for several memberships to Solihull Riding Club for our young volunteers. This means that we can now use the members field for training the horses and also have reduced costs of classes at the club when we enter. Today Alice, Jemma and Daniella took Apollo, Toby and Coco to the club. They were doing well and were jumping both showjumping and cross country fences confidently.

This week our winter hay was harvested and we were out in the field collecting it!In total we brought in 400 bales from the field, with 70 on each load that was six loads! Having brought it in from the field, now all we have to do is pay for it.

15th and 16th August- The big Move

8/17/2009

0 Comments

 
Over the last two days we have completed a huge reshuffle of all the horses in order that they can get enough summer grazing. This was an exhausting process for all involved, particularly as some of the horses do not box and so had to be walked miles!

The horses all settled well at their new fields and the ones on long grass looked particularly happy! Many thanks to all involved with the move

15th August- Mini pulls his cart!

8/17/2009

Today was an important day for Mini as for the first day after months of training he was harnessed up and pulled his little cart around the field. Amelia has spent a long time long-reining him in preparation for this and it was a delight for everyone to see him happily in his cart. It was particularly special because he had slimmed down and now fitted Muffin's old harness as well as his cart which brought back many happy memories for those who had good times driving Muffin in his cart.

Well done Mini and Amelia

15th August 2009- Cross country

Sorry the blog has not been kept for so long but I have been very busy at university- Lots has been going on at the field but there has not been enough time to write about it.

Today Coco and Bobby went to the cross country at Swallowfields with Nina and Louise, who is on work experience. They were very well behaved and jumped well although they did not jump clear. Justine also had a go jumping Coco at the showjumping and achieved her first clear round!

Well done all

Ready to start!

    I am the Chair of the Committee that runs Summerfield Stables. I like helping out with the horses as much as I can but I find it hard to find the time.
