We are excited to announce that from our Heavy Horse Event, you helped us raise an incredible £4,623.34 for the wonderful local charities Restore and BBOWT?

This amazing amount will go a long way in providing funds for Restore’s Beehive workshops/activities that help & support people struggling with their mental health, as well as helping our local Wildlife Trust in continuing their work on protecting habitats for vulnerable species of flora & wildlife ?

We were pleased to welcome so many of you to this unique event. The stars of the show were of course Flynn, Kipp & Harry who captured the hearts of all of us?. We would like to thank James from Wessex Working Horses, Kate from Rowan Working Horses & Dave for showing us the skills of their horses. It was spellbinding to watch.

We couldn’t have asked for better weather to allow everyone to spend time meeting the horses & to have their questions answered.

Little ones were kept busy doing the nature trail & hook-a-duck (although this kept the grown ups entertained too). A big thank you to the Bunkers Hill team for supervising these activities.

A big thank you to our volunteers from the Oxfordshire Bee Keeping Association who gave us a chance to sample some delicious honey & find out all about bees ? and to BBOWT for sharing information about exploring local nature & wildlife spots.

We hope you enjoyed it as much as us & hope you’ll join us again next year!

Thank you
Andrew, Liz, Lucy & Simon

Previous post leading up to the event: 

Last year you got to meet Flynn who is a working Shire ~ an English native breed which is currently classified as ‘at risk’ on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust register. After the success of last year, the Heavy Horse Event at Bunkers Hill Plant Nursery returns...this time with MORE heavy horses.
