Our fund-raising for our 70th Anniversary year has got off to a great start with the launching of our Auction but back at Broadlands there is lots going on with the ponies and our participants. We have been lucky enough over the last few months to have been offered three ponies on loan.
We have welcomed Harry, Teddy and Mia to the stables. Both Harry and Teddy have hit the ground running and are already working well in the riding sessions, it will take a little longer before Mia is used in the school but she is incredibly sweet and proving very popular with our visitors.

Although the weather has been very wet and very cold, our participants turn up every week to enjoy time with the ponies and thankfully they are able to continue to do this as the riding school is covered. The ponies continue to spend the nights out in the fields but they have thick rugs to keep them warm.
However, we are looking forward to the hopefully longer warmer days of spring!
A New Coach
Congratulations to Freya for being awarded her Group Coach Certification!
Freya has been working hard at her coaching qualification and we are delighted that all her efforts have paid off. She works hard to ensure the ponies are healthy and fit. We are so proud to be supporting her in this new journey.
As we move into the Spring we have more events in the pipeline, we would be delighted if you could join us!
We are delighted that Ed has chosen to run for Broadlands in the 2025 London Marathon in April. Ed is not a regular runner, but now that the festive period is behind us, he will start to follow a training regime to get him marathon ready.
If you are interested in taking on a challenge for Broadlands, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
