Hi peeps; spoke to Ceri the other night. She sends her love to all the animals up the farm, and if Hedges is ever in need of a 'retirement home', her and Gareth are more than willing to take her in. XX ?

What is the name of the big brown horse who was in the field on Saturday? I would like to rode him when i am bigger. Lots of love Emily Dickson. (aged 7)xxx

I think you should name your ducks after local celebrities. Including Dylan and Thomas, after Dylan Thomas. Zeta and Catherine after Catherine Zeta-Jones. Bonnie after Bonnie Tyler. Harry after Harry Seacombe. Anthony after Anthony Hopkins. Edgar after Edgar Evans who is a polar explorer. Wayne after Melinda Messinger's husband who is from Gorseinon. Abody else have any other suggestions?

I used to come riding at clyne all the tine and then stopped because i bought my own, i came back the other day and i think you hva egone down hill. The horses didnt loom very healthy and were under weight. whn they were tied up the lead rope was just cliped to the bit with if the horse pulled back could seriously hust their mouth. i rode pepsi and she seemed tird and slugish witch she never seemed to be. also the lady who took me out had he safty stirups the wrong way so they were no use at all. I noticed melodys tail had been cut and it looks awful, it mniles to short there seems to be no reason. i dont mean to critisie the farm as i used to really love coming up but this has really put me of and it is dangourous.

I'd just like to say that my friend goes riding up the farm and has told me that Ben and Tom are underweight because they have been ill in the past; Ben because he was off work for months and months because of a bad foot; and Tom coughs a lot because of something like asthma which makes him lose weight. When i went up with my friend all the horses looked happy and healthy enough. PS: I think Holly is lovely

I brought of number of my guides for a day at the farm. They all enjoyed the archery, climbing and especially the ponies. They all got very muddy on the assault course. Two of my girls forgot to bring a change of clothes (we stayed in Llangennith for the weekend) and so had to borrow a bin bag each! I am not naming names but they know know there are!! i am sure they will remember everything next time. Thank you to all the staff - I hope you dont want the bin bags back?!! Good luck for the summer season - hope to come again next year. Janice

Hello Just to say thank you very much for putting up with us. I am sorry that we could not stay for the whole week as I was looking forward to the assault course! On behalf of the young people I would like to also say thankyou, they did enjoy themselves even if their residential was cut short!!! :( They got to try things they wouldn't ordinarily try.

Thanks to everyone at Clyne Farm, all the workers who were more than patient with us.

Hi. I came down a few weeks ago to do the assault course. I really enjoyed getting muddy. We have pizza and chips afterwards which were really nice. I will be coming back to Wales in a few months and hope to come back and do the assault course again. P.S. How do you keep the assault course so muddy?!!!

Well it never rains in Wales, so we rely on natural springs that run all throughout the muddiest assault course in the world!!

1 question:- bcoz i am gettin a horse shall i ride it every day how much do u think it will cost altogether with the horse ,hat,boots,sadle,bridle,clothes,horse rug,food,stable,groomin stuff,field,speacal treatment 4 hoof and body,gettin new horse shoe ever few months and wip,and every thing else cud u give a price so i can save up and no how much i need kk bubyeeeeeeee

Get saving now!  Owning and looking after a pony can be very expensive and takes up a lot of your time.  To see the cost of everything horse related you could think of have a look at Robinsons Country Leisure  Closer to home visit D Morgan & Son in Crofty Industrial Estate, Penclawdd, Swansea.

Hiya, I used to ride up Clyne every Sunday and mostly rode Pepsi and Charlie allthough I enjoyed riding the others and helped out with stable duties and leading. I wanted to say that since I moved from West Cross and stopped going to Clyne, I really miss it so much! If only I had the money to carry on up there, i'm glad to see that you're still going strong and it's lovely to see your new additions in the stables! I say hi to all the ponies/animals and to Helen, Erica, Rachel, Jeoff and everybody that I know from up there-it would be brill to get back in touch! P.S- are there any jobs going, I need one badly and to work with horses is my ultimate want! x x x

By the way, horses and ponies are measured in hands from the ground to their withers, each hand equals about 10cm (4in). For example if a pony stands at 13hh it measures about 130cm (52in)to it's withers. A measuring stick is used which has the hands marked on. -x- Dear Clyne, I just wanted to add that I think your site is brill and is the first site I go on to, I just had an idea that maybe you can add some games onto it, for example the muddy assault course, or do courses on horses where you could chose which Clyne pony to ride-just an idea, what do you think? x x x
