FOAL’S pARADISE AT
THE EqUESTRIAN CENTRE
In June The Equestrian Centre was blessed with the arrival of a new member to their family.
A young foal later to be named ‘Harvey’ was born on a wet June morning marking the start
of a new era for the newly-managed Equestrian Centre.
Tina and Jason Ledden took over the Centre in November 2011. After owning their own horses
for over 10 years they decided to take on a new challenge and haven’t looked back! They were delighted
at the birth of the new foal which came after a busy 6 months for the whole team as the stables
prepared for their ABRS (Association of British Riding School’s) and BHS (British Horse
Society) accreditation which the centre passed with flying colors.
There was a lot of speculation about Harvey’s name prompting a flood of suggestions
on Ribby’s Facebook page. Suggestions included Jubilee, Zeus, Olympia and Rascal.
In the end however Harvey was struggling to walk and his first attempts ended with
him walking in to walls hence the name Harvey (wall banger)! Harvey will stay at the
Equestrian Centre and undergo training so that he can be part of the team. At the
moment he is spending his days with his mother Kirby in the outdoor paddocks and
all are welcome to come and visit him!
