News Autumn 2011

Hi,

And welcome to our quarterly update. We have had a really busy summer, welcoming people to our cottages from all over Europe as well as the UK. We have put on camps for the Ouse Valley and the Goring & District Riding clubs which were a great success. It is hard work but very rewarding to see so many people and horses come here for a fun long weekend and use our arenas and cross country course to polish up their equestrian skills.

The weather is finally getting colder and it is time to rug the horses up and bring them all in at night. We have a new Yard Manager, Liane who has excellent skills with young horses and is now bringing on our young cob, Mellow and prospective eventer William. We are now starting to think about how we can broaden our appeal for 2012 and taking steps to offer trekking and lessons on Hurstwood horses.

Farm in General

All the Hurstwood paddocks are maintained in tiptop condition with good quality timber post and rail fencing. Here are some of our horses enjoying some late sun on their backs.

Riding clubs really enjoy coming to Hurstwood to make use of our excellent equestrian facilities

Our Self Catering Cottages and Horse Holidays

2011 has been a good season as people seeking a week or two in 4 star accommodation in our glorious Sussex countryside have booked up the cottages. Increasingly the combination of accommodation to suit different pockets, excellent equestrian sporting facilities and our well equipped livery yard has made Hurstwood Farm very popular with Riding Clubs looking for long weekends or holidays for groups of their members. We work with them to create a stimulating and enjoyable itinerary that meets their needs.See here an example itinerary
