Hello Kensington Ridge Farms followers. Our girls have arrived. They are safe, healthy and tired. It will be sometime before they recover from their journey. I don’t like to rush to jump in the saddle. I want to build a bond and get to know them. I believe that if they trust you they will do anything for you. Which makes training much more enjoyable for rider and horse. I am already enjoying the interaction I am having with each girl. They could not be more different from one another. First we need them to settle down and rest, then the vet will give them the “all clear”. Farrier will come in and make any necessary adjustments to their feet and finally the saddle fitter will custom fit their saddles. Then we begin building up their fitness level and finally the training will start. However, the fitness training and dressage training will all depend on the horses ability and willingness. I will not force anything. At KRF will always take our time bringing a horse along. There will be no exceptions to that. The animal’s wellbeing always comes first. Continue to check back for updates and you may follow us on Facebook for more current updates at Kensington Ridge Farms.

- Hovis’ Friday diary: ‘I had to battle my urge to go absolutely full scale cowabunga...’ December 13, 2024Dear Diary It’s fair to say as we head into the festive period, it’s been a week of ups and downs – mostly in terms of mother’s blood pressure and the likelihood of her killing me before New Year. At the weekend Storm Blowy-Flowy hit and the batons were firmly pulled down – well they […]
- Hovis’ Friday diary: ‘This idea has more legs than a caterpillar convention’ December 6, 2024Dear diary, Ok, fess up? Who has pi$$ed her off again? And no, I don’t mean mother – I am all too aware that someone breathing in her vicinity at the moment is pi$$ing her off due to her inability to lift, bend, twist, drive or generally do anything that in her view would make […]
- Hovis’ Friday diary: ‘About as much use as boobies on a fish’ November 29, 2024Hovis with Laura Colett, one of her horses and Hamish. Dear diary, Lord knows if this is going to even read as English; mother is a drugged up fruit loop at the moment and making about as much sense as a TOWIE cast member at a spelling bee. For those who don’t know, she had […]
- Hovis’ Friday diary: Sir Hovis has such a nice ring, doesn’t it? November 22, 2024Hovis with John Whitaker and the mothership. Dear diary, Let me start off with an apology – the mothership had spinal fusion L5/4, L4/3, L3/2 last Thursday and is thus taking my dictation somewhat off her trolley on painkillers. She can’t spell on a good day so lord knows what it will be like after […]

Dear Diary, Well, where does one start? WHAT a weekend!
