Snow at Rocky Top!

The recent snow caused the country to be in chaos! Horse riders face the problems of how to get to their horses, whether they should exercise them and so on during a dump of snow. While those of us who can stay in the warm think it is pretty, those of us who have to go out in it usually moan when jobs need to be done!!!

When you don't have a big land rover or a vehicle along those lines, or a yard owner who will do your horse for you, then the only option is to venture out and hope for the best! Fortunately the snow warnings were in place well before this time and the roads were well gritted, so getting there was not too bad. The only problems we faced at Rocky Top were getting the horses ridden. For a few days they were stuck inside and kept nice and warm. After a while, we managed to venture out and get their legs stretched with some light work in our lovely new school....

Sophie is certainly glad to see the back of the snow! I'm not sure the wind and rain is much better though.... Bring on the Summer!!

All Moved in! 

Tye Lane Stables has now expanded!! Sophie and her mum have bought a beautiful new yard in the heart of the South Downs. Tye Lane, of course, still exists, but this new yard provides a sand school, more turn out and more stables so Sophie's business can expand and run successfully through the winter! Welcome to Rocky Top....
