Some warm weather after the coldest winter in 31 years. It\u2019s lovely to feel that Spring might really be on its way and that the snow could become a distant memory!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been doing a series of\u00a0 Sunday Skills sessions since the beginning of the year, which have proved very popular. Some have been themed &#8211; Seat Training, or In-Hand, or Long-lining, and others have been more open-ended, giving us the opportunity to explore whatever issues arise for the participants. We\u2019re also really pleased to be able to offer these in the current \u201ceconomic climate\u201d &#8211; very accessible at just \u00a350 per day, which is between 4-7 hours, depending on the number of participants. They\u2019ve also been good preparation for our longer clinics, which are now starting in earnest.<\/p>\n<p>The yard has suffered from the severe weather and lack of time, and there is even mud in the field, which is a rare occurrence for us. But we\u2019re delighted to welcome another new working pupil, Ruth, who is with us full time, and we\u2019re looking forward to everything\u00a0 being ship-shape soon! It\u2019s an exciting opportunity to have someone on site to teach over a long period of time, and very satisfying to see the progress being made. After a few months of being in survival mode, just looking after the horses\u2019 basic needs, and, quite frankly, wondering what it\u2019s all for, we now have a real community of keen learners that will benefit our horses enormously, and the wider horse population, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 2010 At last!
