    Bridley Manor Farm - Change in Management - BEWARE

    Yeh :/ I don't think it will be in business for much longer. They owe thousands to feed and shavings suppliers and to the guy that provides the diesel for the tractors :oops:

    Bridley Manor Farm - Change in Management - BEWARE

    Another horse died at this yard last week. Amelia Westland put two alpha mares into the same field without consulting owners, and left them without supervision. One of the mares was found dead - kicked in the head. It was a livery that found her, and Amelia's and Gary Edwards' response was 'shit...

    Neck Damage

    Thank you! The only scan we have at the moment is from 2021, when I had the original injury, and it shows c5 and c6 degeneration. My documents say it's cervical radiculopathy? I'll try and share MRI. I've been referred for another MRI next week to assess full extent of damage, but the consultant...

    Neck Damage

    My thoughts were similar. It seemed very drastic!

    Neck Damage

    The consultant said that they'd have made me wear a brace 5 years ago, but not anymore. x

    Neck Damage

    Hi lovelies. I am a keen horse rider and owner of three gorgeous horses. I had a bad fall a few years ago, resulting in two of the discs in my neck having slipped. They’re pressing on a nerve and causing me a lot of pain. I had steroid injections years ago which worked well, but the pain and...

    Bridley Manor Farm - Change in Management - BEWARE

    One of the most horrific things I witnessed was a fully grown woman (YM) shouting at a vulnerable autistic livery and reducing her to tears, giving her three days to find somewhere else for her horse and then boasting about throwing a big party when she’d gone. To this poor girl’s face :( Then...

    They are aware, I think. Some of us are wondering if it’s been allowed to happen so they can build on the land. They’ve already converted some of the barns into housing.

    Winter Depression

    I also feel hugely affected by the Winter blues this year. I used to love riding in Winter too... ⛄ I'm aiming to still ride 3/4 times a week though!

    Both. She's currently suspended for misconduct in public office, and has done it again to gain access to people's information through various channels. The police are aware.

    Bridley Manor Farm - Change in Management - BEWARE

    Sending you guys lots of love and hugs. It’s been a horrible time, but at least we have each other and our horses are safe. We have been incredibly lucky to have been at bridley when Linda was there. It was such a gorgeous place. I nearly gave up horses completely because my anxiety was so bad...

    Bridley Manor Farm - Change in Management - BEWARE

    It's been absolutely heart-breaking, but my horses are safe and settled now, which has been a huge relief. Linda Carr, the previous yard manager, was absolutely brilliant and her experience and horse knowledge was incredible. Sadly, her health took a sudden decline, and the current yard manager...

    Bridley Manor Farm - Change in Management - BEWARE

    I was at Bridley for 12 years under the wonderful and knowledgeable care of Linda Carr. Under her wing, my horses flourished, and I gained confidence that I'd only ever dreamt of. Linda would do anything for you and your horses, and because of that, she became like family. Sadly, Linda was...

    Recovering from Hysterectomy - Should my horse have time off?

    Thanks lovely. My doctor said 6 weeks, but I also had a bowel resection and lots of endometriosis removed. I'm on week 3.5 now, and still in quite alot of pain, but my boy is now going out all day with his friends. My family has been down and giving him lots of cuddles and carrots. We are going...
