Important information from the British Horse Society. As many people were aware over the last year I had been trying to collate a list of yard closures across Hertfordshire, whether they were private or public ones. The BHS has now turned this survey for the whole of the UK, into a an official one, and all the data collected will be used as potential proof that this industry is being gradually eroded, and equestrians are being squeezed out because of developments and other factors.

Please can people take time to fill in this form. It is very simple, luckily! Lets hope this helps us all - and even if you dont have horses anymore please try and complete it. Many thanks !

NOTICE:
Apologies for the short notice, only just found out.
Rally in part of the forest this weekend. Signage is usually very good and it’s a big place so plenty more to explore.
Please obey signage and any advice from stewards.

Apologies for very late notice of rally in the forest today. Sadly no notice received.

Notice:
On Sunday some lovely members of one of our local pony clubs will be out and about from Penyffordd car park, mostly using the green route.
If you are at all concerned about the extra ponies and people, remember you can always use Hendre car park and explore another part of the forest and trails. If you haven’t used Hendre before, it’s at the What3Words location below. It’s a linear car park with a turning circle at the end - please don’t park in the circle, but down the side. Enjoy the trails!

NOTICE/WARNING
The Plains Rally will be in the Dyfnant Forest from very early Saturday 17 May (this Saturday) until early evening. Car parking entrance will be via Penyffordd so expect extra traffic and vehicles going like the clappers! Great spectacle if you’re free to visit. Parking close to rally has z charge, but the money goes to a local community group!

Has anyone found a pair of navy tendon boots (for a horse) in Penyffordd car park. Perhaps you put them somewhere safe? Would be great to reunite them with the owner. Thanks!

Hello everyone!
After some changes and issues with our website hosting organisation (another company bought them and it all went pear shaped!), we are taking the opportunity and having a revamp! It's not all there yet so bear with us. It also seems that we may have lost some information in the process - no surprise there! This may be a particular concern for the accommodation list, sorry about that - so I may be in touch to get your latest information! If you see this and still want to be on the website, please don't wait to hear from me, email your thumbnail pic, brief info, contact details and I'll get them up again as soon as I can. A chance to make sure it's all up to date! Thanks for your patience. Rainbow Trails HQ.
