A personal glimpse of daily life at the Ash Tree Stables at Holton Lee (the home of the East Holton Driving Centre) near Poole in Dorset, a carriage driving centre for disabled adults.

June Update.
It's been a while since I last wrote on the blog; how time flies.
Life at the stables continues at a good pace with a few new faces among our disabled drivers, and the horses are in fine fettle, looking great now that they have got rid of their winter coats.
Rain and warm sunshine have been a blessing for grass growth this year, which means that we haven't had to feed any hay for some time now. Unfortunately Ragwort has also been growing apace and we are going to have to start tackling this dreadful weed as it takes over more and more of the horses' precious pasture. The problem is finding enough time to fit in another task in an already busy week.
Our AGM is looming up on 16th June. We are sad to be losing both our secretary and our treasurer, Tim and Shirley, who have done a sterling job this last year.
We have found our secretary in Val who has volunteered to fill the post, but we are still looking for a treasurer. Any volunteers?
