SNOW, WIND & BITTERLY COLD

Snow, wind & bitterly cold conditions did not deter these brave ladies from completing the driving taster day. A spicy hot lunch to warm them up and lots of tea to keep them going. Well done ladies, sterling effort. Despite the conditions I do believe everyone enjoyed the day. Hot toddies and early to bed […]

CURIOUS HORSES MEETING THE TURKEYS

Curious horses meeting the turkeys for the first time yesterday evening. Not quite so brave today.  None of them except Saffy will go past them. It begs the question how can something weighing half a ton be afraid of 3 small birds?  I think it must be the strange gobble gobble sounds they make.  We […]

SAFFY COOLING DOWN IN THE HEATWAVE

Saffy cooling down in the heatwave. We put the sprinkler on and she thought it was great to wade in and shower at the same time. This went on for quite some time and then she went and rolled in the sand. Maybe that was to protect her from the sun.  A novel idea for […]

OISIN (Oshin)

Oisin came to us in July 2016. He was abandoned as a foal. We have no history but he could not have been more than 5 months when we took him in. He was malnourished, wobbly on his legs and his worm count was off the scale. A very sad boy indeed. With lots of […]

LEE HUGHES EQUINE DENTIST

Had Lee Hughes Equine Dentist here today. Cannot recommend him highly enough. 2 of our horses needed wolf teeth removed and I cannot believe how quickly and efficiently it was done. It was all very calm, no bother from the horses and immediately Lee finished they returned to the bale to eat. Amazing, as if […]

BEES

Well it would appear that we are not only a haven for horses but a Bee Haven too. We have had a large colony of honey bees living in the back wall of one of our mobile homes for several years. They have never been a problem and never come into the caravan so because […]

SPIRIT HORSE

This is Leon, our spirit horse. When Leon came to Horse Haven Uk 4 years ago at almost 3 years of age he was very timid and had never been handled. He is a very lovely boy and everyone that meets him finds him magical.   I don’t know what makes him so different to […]

HORSES FEELING LAZY

It’s very humid here on the levels today and the horses are feeling lazy.  Still lovely though as the dragonflies are beginning to appear on the land.  The “house martins”  have all returned to nest in the shelters with the horses, love to watch them flitting about, last year they had 3 broods so I […]
