Finally a new post

So the last post was Jan 09 and here we are approaching June, so yes it's official, we are rubbish at updating our blog.

Well, what's new?
So the move to Lossiemouth (nee Beaumont) went ahead, for those who don't already know.
Michelle is doing a great job down there, with things going from 0 to 60 very quickly indeed, so the greatest of thanks to her and Mick for that. As they know, its been an anxious time for us, but with all their efforts things are looking good.
For those who don't know, we took over what was Beaumont Riding School (formerly Covsea) and have move the majority of our horses and ponies down there, in order to run Equus Lossiemouth as the riding school, ie Lessons etc, mainly due to the amount of land and the indoor school down there. We are currently (June 09) looking to improve both outdoor schools, so during the good weather you still get a chance to enjoy lessons outside.

Equus Roseisle has concentrated on the trekking side of things, forest rides, beach rides which has also given us the opportunity to rest some of the fields and attempt to let it fight back against the hammering it got from that hungry lot. lol.

Further developments at Roseisle has been the start of our new indoor stables, which hopefully are to be completed soon, giving us ten nice new stables, small office, menage viewing area and new tack/feed room.

We are now also looking seriously at finally putting the planning in for the new indoor school, but recent developments have meant we are now re-looking at what size we will put up.
Our initial plan was a 20m x 50m school, but with one or two people asking questions, we are possible considering a 40m x 60m school with other amenities, ie, classroom, viewing gallery etc.

so as you can see we have plenty of idea's, all of which we hope will become reality, certainly within the next two years, but as the people who know us well, they will confirm that, at this time we have a lot of other things going on, so we just need to take small steps.

We are constantly in the debt of all of those people who provide help, assistance and support and like to think that these people (you know who you are :-) ) will also benefit from most if not all of the developments.

So thats about it for now, we still promise to try to stay on top of the blog, and we are in the process of updating the website, unfortunately there is still only 24hrs in the day, and as soon as that is changed we will definitely get more things done.

If you have any questions about whats going on, or if you want any further information about riding at equus, either lessons or just a gentle hack, please drop us an email and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

All the best from
Lisa and Mike

Long time no new post

Hi to all,

Well firstly let us apologise for the time it has taken to publish a new post.

We are getting increasing busy down at the yard, our name and hopefully a good reputation is getting known more and more.
As well as the lessons filling, we are now open on Sundays. Hacks and beach rides are more and more popular, we havent had as big a dip over the winter as we expected.

We are also in the process of building a new block of 10 indoor stables as well as upgrading the office and starting the build of a new house.

The future is looking not bad even in the "credit crunch" and we are currently having plans drawn for an indoor school to put to the local planners.

We hope to have more news on a possible expansion too. Not too many details on that just now, but it should mean we have use of an indoor school and a wider area to runs hacks from.

Over the next month we plan to get some photos onto the site, some of the nags and some of the construction pics and hopefully some of the new site.

So please send any comments, questions and suggestions we are always happy to read them,
though as I mentioned in my last reply we may take a while to get round to respond, though we do promise to get better, he he.

keep having fun on the horses
Lisa
