Post-workout refreshments…Scottie style!

Forget the fancy drinks… nothing beats a bit of fresh rainwater straight off the horsebox!
(Disclaimer- Scottie does have a clean fresh automatic water system in his stable 😂)

Wind & torrential rain in Toxteth didn’t deter Owen, Beau &our officers today! They stopped a driver who was using their phone while driving.

Our officers have to improvise sometimes, finding a way to get straight back to their duties!

Can anyone answer us this…

Teddy has abandoned his massive memory foam bed for a tiny plastic bowl on the window ledge.

Is he just a cat, or are we missing something?

Brego has impeccable (s)table manners! He even wipes his mouth after his supper.

A #ThrowbackThursday to 2019 when Elvis loved showing off his party trick of opening the locker room door!

At 18hh, his size was matched only by his cheeky personality! We sadly said goodbye in 2020, aged 15. 🧡

A little #ThrowbackThursday to 2020, when Arnie gave one of our offices a small and subtle hint that he wanted some more scratches!

Today we had our amazing osteopath Grace visit the yard.

All our horses receive regular back checks & osteopathy treatments to help keep their joints and muscles supple, healthy and moving freely. It all helps to keep our horses feeling their best and in tip-top condition.

This evening, Silver, Beau and our officers attended the passing out ceremony for our newest @MerseyPolice officers.

Congratulations to all the new officers!

Everything about this video makes me smile!
The roll, the head shake, the muzzle shot — but most of all that happy little squeal at the end!

Monthly haylage delivery from The Websters!
For 20+ years, Brian & Celia kept our horses supplied with fantastic haylage. Now Andrew & Matthew are carrying on the family tradition.
Quality, consistency and service we can rely on — we use around 1 bale a day for our 14 horses!
