Welcome to our new Bucknut Farm Stables Blog. After years of stabling our horse and pony on livery yards one of my best friends and I decided to take the plunge and purchase our own field for our horse and ponies to live on. After over a year of looking we finally managed to persuade a local farmer to sell us a small plot of land within close proximity to where we both live.
It was not an easy process and took many months for the sale to complete. Once the land was ours we had six weeks to erect appropriate fencing and sort out a water supply.
At the time of purchasing the land we had one horse and one pony between us; a thoroughbred called Fella and a Fell pony called Star. The day we moved our steeds on felt amazing. Finally we had our own field!!! No more having to deal with livery yard politics!!!! Freedom for us came in the form of our field!!!
Shortly after getting Star and Fella settled on the land we adopted two Shetland ponies from the RSPCA called Betty and Barbara. More about these two little 'darlings' later.......
