Congratulations to Gillian Halpin, the winner of our Shirley Valentine Luxury Weekend at Swinton Castle!

Addaction, the UK’s largest drug and alcohol treatment charity, sent 6 of their Team all the way from London to Hill Top Farm on Thursday for a training day with a difference.
Their day was filled with learning about team work and leadership from the best in the business - the horses - as well as exercises to get them thinking about their roles within the team, and of course, lots of delicious food.
Despite the awful weather a good day was had by all, and we are looking forward to speaking to them all soon.

Psychedelic (Dylan)
17.2hh
9 years old
Coloured gelding

Dylan is a lovely horse looking for a loan home.
He was bred to event although due to personal circumstances his potential has not yet been reached. He has been lightly competed at RC level at the ages of 4 and 6 and since then has done lots of hacking and some schooling.
Dylan loves to learn and needs a confident rider to take him on and help him achieve his potential.
English and Western tack and rugs come with him.

We have lots of mares and foals in training at Hill Top Farm at the moment. Mum Chance and one month old Princess (pictured above) came to us for handling, having had very little in the past. Both Mum and baby are doing very well, with Princess now wearing her first halter and Chance learning to have her feet picked up.
Jeanine’s Brooke and Listen and Emma’s Dancer and Chance are now making friends in the field. We are aiming to wean all the foals together when the time comes, so look out for news of their progress.
