It’s been a long time since I wrote, and so much has happened. We have said hello to lots of new faces. So many new children to feed me carrots. Katie measured my waistline the other day and there is plenty of room for more so keep them coming!
This year has already been eventful here at Barton. We said goodbye to some old friends. My pal Vicki has left me *sniff*. She was a great instructor and I will miss her shouting at me from the middle of the school. Why she would want to leave us for some racing job I will never understand. The little grey over the road has retired and is living in the land of luxury with his mummy. 
In good news, we have a new carrot feeder, I mean instructor, Jess join us here at BFFEC. There are new furry faces as well over the fence, Oreo and Crunchie who are joining us in teaching people to how ride. Me and my buddy Lucky have been keeping them in line as best we can.
Nat and Gem have been plotting in the office again and coming up with all kinds of fun and games to play this year. Pony parties, owner/loaner days, jumping clinics and pony club badge days. Give them a shout if you want to join the fun and don’t forget to bring treats. Check the new events page to see what’s coming up 😀
Stay warm and come visit me soon.
Flitwick.
