My 12 year old daughter and I loved our one hour beach ride on Seahouses beach. Sally was a friendly relaxed guide who matched us perfectly with horses of the right size and speed - all cobs with lovely "hairy hooves". All the horses felt very safe and sensible, but also capable of a good turn of speed on the beach, and they seemed happy with their work. Would thoroughly recommend.

My friend Margaret and I booked two x 1hr 30mins hacks last Saturday and Sunday. We are both experienced riders and were well suited with the horses we were partnered with. What a fabulous time we had!! I rode a horse called Calley and Margaret rode Larry for both hacks. When we arrived at the stables we were greeted by Hollie and the stable helpers. They were so pleasant and welcoming. The hacking was superb around the countryside with next to no roadwork. On Sunday afternoon we hacked out with Hilary (manager) and two different stable hands who were so lovely. Hilary knew the horses inside out and gave us a few tips on the horses likes/dislikes which was so helpful. What we were so impressed about was the condition of all the horses we saw at the stables and in the fields. They are so well looked after which is very important to us. We cannot recommend this riding stables highly enough. We were so well looked after both days. Thank you all so much.

Visited today (having visited the area two years ago and didn’t even know it was here - a real hidden gem) and we all (Grandma and my four year old son) really enjoyed it. The staff are so friendly and helpful, but at the same time leave you be to see the pigs, the sheep, the geese, the ducks and most importantly the ‘heavies’. It’s clear to see these beautiful animals are all much loved members of the family, the staff speak with such fondness of them. Being able to get so close to such giants to pet and stroke them and give them a treat is very special (if you love horses). Looking at the history behind Farm technology and how the horses were used is fascinating - and seeing all the impressive harnesses, bridles and leatherwork displayed gave a true sense of how strong these animals are. A gift shop where you can buy a souvenir and grab a slice of cake and coffee really completes the trip. Sad to miss the carriage rides but if we’re ever in the area again visit Hay Farm Heavies would definitely be on our must see list. Thank you to the boys (Teddy, Merlin, Scot, Dan and cheeky Stan) for being so patient and gentle and Cane and Sparkle too!

The horse riding was great fun for our 4 year old. She loved her horse Star and was well looked after during her ride.
