We are so excited about our Summer Fayre this year! We have horse demonstrations, a trailer training and loading demonstration, a riding team display, falconry, children’s play zone, arts and crafts, a dog show, dog agility display, shopping (including a second hand tack sale), glitter tattoos, charity stands, a barbecue and a wide selection of food and refreshments. There will also be the usual picturesque walkways available to enjoy a stroll, so you and your family can visit some of the horses, donkeys and mules who are living here. We hope you can join us, we’d love to see you here!
If you want to ditch the car for the day and ride the bus instead or this is just the best way for you to travel, Stagecoach are kindly providing a FREE bus service from Lincoln Train Station (first bus at 10.15am), Saxilby High Street (first bus at 10:30am), Sturton by Stow A1500 (first bus at 10:35am) and Bransby Horses (first bus at 10:45am) running every hour to and from the event (last bus from Bransby Horses at 3:45pm).

An evening with James Cooling, Horse Fit Bit Consultant, who will be here to discuss the importance of bit and bridle fit to improve a horse’s comfort, biomechanics and their welfare.
Horse Fit Bit believe that the correct fit of both a bit and bridle are equally as important as saddle fit and should not be left to trial and error. James is an accomplished horseman with 35 years of experience across the disciplines; has qualifications in Lorinary Science, Saddle Fitting, BHS stages and has worked with Monty Roberts on a number of different projects.
During the evening, James will cover:
- bit and bridle fit to improve horse’s comfort and biomechanics.
- dispelling some traditional myths surrounding bitting.
- looking at some of the latest research on bitting and bridle fit.
- understanding anatomy in relation to bit and bridle fit.
- looking at behavioural and physical issues arising from poor bitting and bridle fit to improve horse’s welfare.
- looking at the function of bits/bridles and bittless bridles.
- selection of case studies.
