It’s the Chinese year of the horse which inspired the East Grinstead Target Shooting Club to choose us to benefit from their fun shoot day in February. They donated a very welcome £377 to us and their Chairman and ours got together today to hand over a Certificate of Thanks. John Mason and James Baxter posed in front of one of our ponies and riders for the ‘shot’!

We are very grateful to have received a £200 donation today from the Crawley Down and Turners Hill Repair Cafe who once a month repair all sorts of things in return for a donation to charity. One of their volunteers, John Mason, came to see us to receive a Certificate of Thanks from our Chairman James Baxter. It is an excellent endeavour, saving items from the skip while raising money for good causes. So don’t throw it away, visit the cafe!

We are delighted to have received a grant of £1,500 from the Tandridge Community Foundation towards the cost of a new pony. We sadly lost one of our ponies last year, and are fundraising to buy another larger pony to carry our bigger riders. Tandridge Community Foundation runs the Tandridge Together Lottery, which holds a weekly draw on a Saturday. 60% of each ticket goes to good causes and tickets can be purchased by clicking HERE.

The Foundation arranged for BBC South East to film one of our riding sessions and the short film went out on Friday 30th January on the South East News, at lunchtime and in the evening. Following this we were delighted to receive many donations via our website, totalling an additional £2,254, all of which will go to the pony fund.

We are very grateful to the Tandridge Community Foundation for their support.

We are delighted to have been chosen by the Dormansland Horse and Dog Show to be one of their charities for 2025. Their show takes place at East Bysshe Showground, Eastbourne Rd, Newchapel, Lingfield RH7 6LF, on Sunday 31st August, 2025. For further details: Home | Dormansland Horse & Dog Show.

The Hill Brush Company, who are Royal Warrant Holders, have kindly donated some brooms, brushes and a shovel to us to help us keep our yard spick and span for our riders. Hillbrush have a fantastic range of cleaning equipment from traditional brooms to more eco-friendly alternatives, and they supply these worldwide. We are very grateful to them for the donation which will certainly be put to good use.

Over the years we have had a lot of support from Royal Warrant Holders, both through their association and also individually. We are lucky to have connections – Katie Giddings, one of our instructors for many years, is married to Kevin, whose company, Milborrow Chimney Sweeps are also Royal Warrant Holders.

Thank you Hillbrush for your support.
