Yesterday some of our adults did ‘Dressage to Music’ as a day camp-lots of fun was had! We can’t wait to do it again to another selection of super music!
All racing ponies and jockeys are home safe after a most fabulous day out. A big thank you needs to go to so many people. #ericgillieshorsetransport for taking such good care of the ponies. They arrived looking smart and clean for the racing and they travelled so well. All the staff took great care and were so helpful!
To all the parents and families of the jockeys thank you for supporting them to be able to have this fantastic experience. It couldn’t happen without you!
All our staff and volunteers-it could not be done without a humongous team effort! Many hands make light work and on race day it made it go so smoothly. To everyone who stayed at the yard-these events couldn’t happen without you! Making sure the horses and ponies at home are looked after, lessons keep running, lovely beds are prepared for the ponies returning. As well as all the cleaning, trimming and clipping of ponies before they left!
It truly is a most fantastic experience that cannot be done without a supportive, dedicated team. This is what makes Hayfield Riding Club so special!
And they’re off! 8 ponies, 2 days and lots of fun to be had! Bring on the Pony Racing!

This Thursday past Hayfield hosted ‘The Blue Cross Horse and Pony Care’ area competition. It was a super day with 45 teams competing which is 140 competitors!
A big well done to everyone who competed. Hayfield had 2 senior teams, 2 junior teams and a mini team.
Everyone worked so hard to learn lots of horse care information and skills.
We have one senior team and one junior teams qualified for nationals! A big well done to everyone though for all their effort!
Also a huge thank you to all those who helped behind the scenes to get ready for the big day-we couldn’t have done this without all our volunteers.
We are so lucky to have such a beautiful setting-yesterday Lorna saw this lovely red squirrel at the bottom of the ‘Big Sand’ arena!
A big thank you to everyone who has donated so far to our fundraiser to refurbish the big school:

Thank you to Chris Ward for donating his time and expertise with the cherry picker to get the gutters sorted!
We are only £190 away from being able to purchase new kick boards for the big school. These are important so that our horses and riders stay safe. Please keep sharing our fundraising page.
It’s important horses get their teeth regularly checked just as often as we do!
We are looking for volunteers to help on the yard on Sunday and Tuesday evening. Volunteers must have attended a Hayfield horse care course.
Please comment below if you would be able to help.
Many thanks!
We are looking for some volunteers tomorrow night (Tuesday) to help on evening yards. Volunteers must be 14 and over and completed a horse care course with us. If you could offer some help please comment below. Many thanks for your help!
We are happy and sad at the same time to let you all know that Oliver has gone to his retirement home. He has given so much joy, pleasure and education to so many riders and we were privileged to have him as part of our team. He owes us nothing and we owe him everything.
A big thank you to his new owner who has been so kind in giving him the perfect home. It’s lovely to see him settle in so well!
A great trip down to Perth today for our Pony Racing Academy riders. Lots to see and learn and everyone is excited to go racing soon!

The next Hayfield PRA academy has started!
We have done the first two sessions as well as a catch up session for those missing a session in the holidays. Everyone is working really hard to improve their fitness and balance. It’s lovely to see the dedication from everyone so far. A big thank you to the PRA for the opportunity they are offering these riders and to Godolphin for the provision of the equicisor which helps the riders with their training.
It’s race day morning-just a few words from some of our staff and volunteers. We are all so proud of you!
