Just shows you - give em love and they won't leave you xx

I’ve just got to tell you all …

My beautiful horses got out, today, not sure how. They ended up in the next-door field (owned by John Dunford who has the woodyard at Honey Street), who kindly rang me earlier this morning. So, I arranged to go and collect them. With that, I rang my groom (as I couldn't move all three of them on my own). But here’s the magic; as I drove down to the field (to meet my groom), what did I see???!!! My three wonderful horses, walking home on their own—no-one with them. They had somehow managed to find a gap and began their way back—I was in tears, as was my groom! These horses could have gone anywhere, but instead, they nonchalantly wandered back, where we gave them water and lots of hugs; and they just reacted like nothing had happened!! Wow, I’m so proud that my animals came home to mum. 💝🐴💝

"Our 3 night trip to Wiltshire was a very special experience. There is no other place in the country where you can drive your own horse down country lanes and experience the world at a slower pace. We took our three children (5,4,2) and despite the caravan being small it was well kitted out, and everyone slept pretty well considering. We benefited from our children all being very used to horses. The route is planned meticulously with an eye to safety and making it a relaxing experience and the horses are AMAZING and well cared for. If you are looking for a unique experience and are someone who is used to being with horses, have an adventurous spirit and can just roll with it - this is the holiday for you. It is not 5 star Glamping, it's more akin to camping, but it is a truly unique experience that Polly has been offering for decades that is very special and will stay in my and the kids memories forever".

Date of experience: August 2023

"As two very experienced (of over 50 years) horsey people, we decided to change things up this year and forego our trail riding break and take the pace down with a visit to Whitehorse Gypsy Caravans, we read the reviews and decided it was the right trip for us".

"I booked this trip after the death of a close friends to get a much needed mental health break. Polly was a most welcoming host and her knowledge of local history and the local area as well as her love for all of her animals was very apparent".

"Next morning, after a good cooked breakfast in the vardo we heard the clip-clop of hooves approaching. Then we saw him; Ned the white Vanner. What a hansom muscular beast he was. It was love at first sight. Polly introduced us to both Ned and Ruth our groom who had led 'Ned' from his meadow, by head collar and lead. Between us we groomed and harnessed Ned. Ruth applied copious amounts of insect repellent to Ned. I then led him to the vardo and backed him in between the shafts. After some advice from Ruth, on what commands to use for Ned, with Ruth walking ahead, we set off for 'The Millstream' pub for lunch and a rest for Ned. Both Ruth and Ned work very hard. Ned never putting a foot wrong and varying his own speed to suit the terrain, he knew the route well. We loved him more each minute".

"We had a wonderful experience from the booking process through to a fabulous day trip with Ned the horse leading us through beautiful countryside. The grooms were really helpful and put us at our ease. Highly recommend this experience to anyone".

"We were lucky enough to get really nice weather, and the hypnotic clip-clop of our horse Ned's hooves, the beautiful green fields rolling past, and the occasional glimpses of the Alton Barnes 'White Horse' on the nearby hillside combined for the perfect summer experience".
