🎥 Important information 🎥

With immediate effect, we are no longer allowing pictures/videos being taken of lessons. This is all lessons inc private sessions.

We’ve seen many riding schools bring this rule into effect for many reasons:

• Safeguarding

• Security

• Privacy

This isn’t a decision that’s been made overnight, we’ve been thinking about it for several weeks now.

We understand this maybe disappointing for some as videoing can really help you to look back and self critique but we’ve got to think of the bigger picture.

We do hope you understand, respect this new policy and continue to enjoy your time at Croft End.

Thanks

Pat, Carole & all the Croft End team 🐴

Last Wednesday was licence day.
The local authority and vets spent a good few hours inspecting all horses for the riding school.

All the team and many volunteers helped us out and it was a very successful day.

This is the back of Rupert and Baloo after the busy day ready to go out for the night.
They didn’t come in the same colour they went out 😆

Big Rupert made an appearance on the BHS North West page.

We know he makes a lot of our clients happy with his beautiful face 🐴

Horses make you feel happy 🐴😀

It's difficult to put into words, but horse lovers know the feeling.

At Croft End, Big Rupert gives you just that feeling 🥰

He is a firm favourite with all the clients and he absolutely loves to hack.

Big Rupert does NOT like to stay clean. 🛁🧽🐴
Soon as he’s had a bath, his mission is to get dirty again. 😂
