A classic case of 'if you build it they will come'. More safe #cycle lanes is driving growth in cycling. But there's still a way to go to make London's roads safe. So let's have some more safe routes please @london.gov.uk

Did you know that the remarkable story of how we saved our stables from closure during the C19 pandemic was turned in to a book? And how it all began with a small girl from Birmingham who became obsessed with horse?

We always want to expand our reach and show that all of society can benefit from spending time with horses. This week Reggie visited a local care home to spread some horsey joy. He brought back a lot of fond memories and smiles for residents! 🐴

#ridingforthedisabled #socialcare
A young woman is leading a horse which is looking in the window of a care home where two residents are sitting. A care home resident is seen from behind as she strokes the nose of a black pony that is standing outside the patio door. A black pony is walking through the corridor of a care home. We see him from behind. The lady leading him turns around and smiles in to the camera.

Shouldn’t every town have a cuddle door? — Park Lane Stables RDA
Walk down Park Lane in Teddington and it’s like any other leafy residential street – except that you’re being watched by a pony looking over the cuddle door at the Stables.

Pay us a visit and you’ll be welcomed not only by the ponies and people of Park Lane Stables, but also by Ali the red fox Labrador. She’s a huge part of the team and we all adore her, but it wasn’t planned. It’s time we introduced her to you:
