He has done us really proud for a good many years now, with lots of different riders. We all wish him well in his new home.<br />
<br />
Oreo, a skewbald mare with a beautiful long mane has arrived and we hope she will take up the place. She has passed the vet, so will start training. She has been a family pony and also at a riding school, so shouldn't take too long to settle in.<br />

Also, thanks to all those who manned the stalls, sold raffle tickets, brought things for the sale, and to those in the kitchen producing pancakes and tea for everyone. A really good start to the Christmas season, and a great help to winter feed bills!<br />

Work is about to start on the foundations for a new 2 horse stable unit, which will be used as an isolation unit for new ponies. We had problems with a cough this summer and had to stop all riding for 2-3 weeks, so this should help prevent that happening again.</div>

SOPHIE has just arrived at the centre this week, and we hope she will be a good replacement for Lola. She is five years old, 14.2, a lightweight cob who is also reasonably narrow which will suit some of our riders,and she seems to have a very good temperament. At the moment she is just settling in, but will be getting accustomed to the school sometime soon.</div>

She was just a little too forward-going for us, but should be a lovely ride for someone. Robin the new pony has already been used in the school and is looking good.<br />

The Walter Craig Trust through Blackadders in Dundee have given us £5000 which is a wonderful donation and will be a real help to the Centre.<br />
