Winter has arrived! 


The cold snap heralds winter and the mud and rain.........Oh goody, goody! It's OK you'll find something at Abderry to help...
 

Do you wish your horse had just a little more work?

spooking2 Is your horse excited, fidgety and pushy to handle and you know you should spend a few more minutes waiting for him to ready to ride?

We have the time and facilities to wait until he's remembered that he can stand still.  We can give your horse a week or so of consistent routine and work so that when you get him back he's used to being patient.

 
We can also arrange to give him a make-over hairstyle, trim-up, wash and brush-up so when you pick him up he's looking and acting civilized and ready for you to start "proper" work with him. Read more
