Wellgrove approved as BHS riding school

On 21 September we met with a very interesting man named Alan Bignell, who came to assess Wellgrove for its suitability as a candidate for British Horse Society (BHS) approval as a riding school and livery yard.

Alan provided us with lots of help and advice, and also talked about his amazing career which – from what we can gather – has been spent completely surrounded by horses! He had worked (very high up) as a mounted policeman and had lots of good tales to tell!

Needless to say, the yard passed muster, and will now be incluided in the BHS approvals scheem as both a riding school and livery yard.

Emma has a few new bits of paperwork to catch up on and has bought a laminator, so you will probably see a few new notices around the place!
