FARNHAM NEWS
Welcome to April and a very Happy Easter to all our clients.
March was a very exciting month with the merge of the two stable yards happening. We are very excited to welcome all our riding school clients to our beautiful yard. There is a definite family vibe now and lots of new friends being made!

Remember, all newsletters are now posted on our website, so be sure to keep your eyes on the site all the time. We also have an event calendar on this website so you NEVER miss any of the exciting happenings at the yard!

We’d like to welcome Hannah Scott and her pony Spice Gold to the Farnham family! We hope you will be very happy with us!
Congratulations to Mellicent Heunes who got a VERY exciting birthday present! Little Star! (Blacky), we wish you hours of joy with your new pony Mellicent.

It is advisable that all riders have their saddle fits done this month, if you have not booked this already. Please contact Dayle to set up an appointment for you to have this done

We hope you all have an amazing April!

GIVE A LITTLE, GET A LOT

For just R20 a month you can have a hand in feeding a underprivledged horse. Your small donation, when added to other small donations, ensures that a horse doesn’t go hungry.

Farnham offers you the opportunity to help the Highveld Horse Care Unit every month:

We’d like your permission to add R20.00 to your bill every month to go to feeding abused and neglected equines at the Highveld Horse Care Unit.
Please note that this donation is entirely voluntary.
