Horses - We welcomed a lovely new horse - Maghera Bear to join the Witham Villa Team. He is approximately 15hh, cremello Connemara gelding and will be known as BEAR. He came from a private home and has previously done flatwork, pole clinics and jumping as well as hacking out. He will be assessed by the staff prior to becoming available for client lessons.

Vending Machines - as we were unfortunately unable to find anyone who wanted to take on the cafe here, the decision was made to install vending machines. We now have a Rijo hot drinks vending machine, from which you can get Bean to Cup coffee, leaf tea, decaf coffee and hot chocolate.

We also have a machine to dispense snacks and cold drinks and this will be stocked up shortly.

Saddle fitting - it is very important that saddles are checked for fit for the horses and ponies on a regular basis and we were pleased to welcome Lewis from Sue Carson Saddles to re-fit the air saddles this month.
