Spring Has Sprung!!

Martin takes Wally for a drive with Marmite

Martin has been helping at the stables for quite a few years now and has become a proficient driver, besides being a very useful helper.

Spring has truly sprung! We started driving at the beginning of March, which has been the driest March for many years, so, though cold at times, we have been able to drive most days.

April has started out on a very warm note and there is prolific blossom everywhere. The horses are all shedding their winter coats in handfuls to cope with this rare warm spell which makes easy picking of nesting material for a variety of birds from Goldfinches to Jackdaws.
Surprisingly we haven't seen our Swallows yet, but I'm sure they aren't far away now.

Now is the time for anyone who has a little spare time on their hands to come down and take advantage of an outdoor activity on this wonderful site at Holton Lee and make new friends. We are always pleased to welcome volunteers to help in any way they can.
