February 2026

Half Term - it seemed Christmas had only just gone and then suddenly half term was upon us! We had a busy week with special activities in addition to our normal lessons. The Competition Series with dressage in the morning and then jumping in the afternoon; Games sessions, Pony Day Camps and beginner experiences all proving popular. Watch out for our Easter Holiday Program which will be published soon and available to book via ECPro.

Repairs and Renewals - an ongoing program - in February we managed to tarmac an area of the car park around the main drain to get rid of some pot holes caused by the incessant rain.

Staffing - Gabby returned from her travels abroad and it is lovely to have her back doing some teaching and also some yard work.

Horses - Buddy has now been sold to a lovely new home and we wish his new owner fun and every success with him.

Crumble has been at Witham Villa on a working livery basis and has now moved yards so that he can go out and do more competing with his owner. We look forward to following their progress.

Livery/working livery/loan - we currently have vacancies for horses on any of these basis. If interested and to find out more, please contact Verity at withamvillarc@yahoo.co.uk

Dressage - India and Eddie attended the British Dressage 2 day Under 25 Camp at the Unicorn Centre. Training with Peter Storr and working to develop the piaffe and passage in particular, for the step up from Young Riders.
