This Week
The second of our Lenten themes is Fast. Most of us are familiar with the idea of ‘giving something up for Lent.’ Giving up chocolate, sweets and other treats is a good start. But Lent isn’t meant to be some type of ecclesiastical health campaign. Instead, we are asked to look carefully at our lives, to reflect on the bad habits that we have fallen into and then, most importantly, to stop or ‘fast’ from doing those things. Once again, Pope Francis gives us a great example of what this looks like in practice. He has listed (below) some suggestions. Why not spend some time examining you conscience and consider which of those bad habits in the list, or habits that are similar, you have fallen into, and then, in this second week of Advent, commit to fasting from that habit for the remainder of Lent. Giving up sweets and chocolate will help our self-discipline, but fasting from these bad habits will help us become good! And that’s what Lent is really all about!!

We hope that you are all well, but please remember to pack enough layers for riding.
The weather has been so different in just a week! First snow and then rain! The staff and the ponies have been wrapping up warm and hugging the heaters. Hopefully the forecast will be better next week.
We will start to plan the timetable for next term, so if you no longer with to ride then please email us to let us know.
