Having a hobby or passion doesn’t just have to be for when we’re young, and that includes horse riding, which can be a skill picked up later in life (see our blog on taking up horse riding in later life). We recently caught up with our customer Sally who, after 20 years of not riding, […]

We love our horses; there are currently 847,000 horses in the UK alone, and we love making them happy and giving them treats. But despite the well-known saying ‘eat like a horse’, you can’t just give a horse anything to eat, apart from the fact that they’re herbivores, they have a very complicated digestive system. […]

A major fixture on any racing fan’s calendar, the Grand National is held annually at Aintree racecourse, near Liverpool. It first took place in 1839 and has become part of British culture; often referred to as the ‘ultimate test of horse and rider’ due to the distance and the large fences, many of which have […]

It’s no secret that horses aren’t the cheapest of pets; you can’t just pick one up at your local rescue shelter and take it home to sleep in a makeshift bed you made out of a cardboard box and some old blankets, it’s a big commitment. But even so, there is some serious cash involved […]

As a horse owner who loves to travel, you might have wondered if it’s possible to take your horse on holiday; after all it combines two of your favourite things, lets you experience a new destination from a different perspective, and means you don’t have to leave one of your best friends behind. It’s also […]

If you own a horse you’ll know that there’s often a fair amount of travelling involved, especially if you compete, and having the right transport can make a huge difference. You want your horse to be comfortable and safe on any trip you do, whether that’s to a competition, the vet or even moving house; […]
