And we decided to treat ourselves to an ice cream at Cock Law Burn before the final stretch which was accompanied by music and dancing. We got back to Spittal at around 16:30 after covering 18.5 miles and raising £2010.”
Thank you so much to all involved we are so grateful.
A huge thank you to Scott Capes and his team of walkers who recently managed to raise £2010 for Horse Time, here are his own words.
“On the morning of the 6th of June 5 of us set out from Spittal in Berwick upon Tweed to walk along the coast to the Holy Island causeway and back
As we got to the causeway we were met by 2 members of Horse Time who had taken time out from their day to take pictures of us at the half way point.
A quick 15 min break and we were back on the move for the return journey and once again everyone remained in good spirits
I’m raising FREE donations for Horse Time by using @easyuk and you could too. Over 5,200 retailers will give us a free donation when you shop online. Plus, once you’ve raised £5 in donations, @easyuk will give us an extra £5 donation.

Tea Shed and Garden Update
Fiona, Vince and Patsy have been very busy helping Stuart do all the last bits of work to the tea shed.
Scott and Ben from Castlegate Interiors laid the linoleum today, many thanks guys.
Tea Garden Update
This week Fiona and Nikki had a visit from Lynda who is from Berwick Garden Centre.
Lynda was delighted to be asked to help with plants etc for the garden and came up with an amazing combination of annuals and perennials.
Congratulations to every person who took part, it has been an absolute privilege to work with you all.
Horse Time will be running more workshop programmes later on in the year. Please get in touch if you would like to join us.

The weekly workshops included both group theory sessions and one to one non ridden sessions with a therapist and a horse.
The workshop programme was very successful, showing an average percentage decrease of -40 for anxiety, -45 for depression and -30 for trauma symptomology.
Latest arrivals for the tea garden this week, a rustic bench from Robertsons Timber at Charlesfield, and a patio set from Anna Standing.
Nikki and Fiona have started making a patio area, spray painting the garden furniture and with the help of Vince putting up the fence panels.
We are also extremely happy that Stuart has started fixing the roof as well as insulating, and plaster boarding the inside.
Once again we are so grateful for all the donations we have had. Thank you everyone.
