We are delighted to announce that Treacle has won the British Horse Society’s “Equine Personality of the Year” Award, “for the horse or pony that does the most for people”.

Treacle turned 27 in August 2025 and during her long career she has taught many children to ride (including some of our instructors!) In recent years Treacle has become an outstanding pony for sensory sessions, and ground-based activities.  She occasionally enjoys a led hack with someone small, but she no longer participates regularly in riding lessons due to her age.  She truly loves children however, so she’s still an important part of our team working with supported learners, school groups and children with SEN.  Treacle is a teacher, a therapist and a trusted friend to many, with a gentle spirit and generous heart.

Thank you to everyone who voted for Treacle, she truly is one in a million and we are so delighted that she has been recognised in this way!
