The ideal set-up for a small team? A yard with eight stables, outdoor arena and a cosy cottage, for a competitive price…

A super-horsey property located in the heart of Cambridgeshire is being offered for sale, and we think it would make the ideal settlement for an equestrian with a small team of steeds.

The present owners have rented out the property as a livery yard and it has previously been run as a successful riding school; the opportunities are endless.

Sycamore Cottage is situated in a great location for the competition enthusiast, being within easy reach of several venues. The property is approximately two miles from Wimblington, three miles from March and six miles from Chatteris. Peterborough is located 22 miles away and the property has good access to the A1 and A14.

Equestrian centres in the area include: Mount Pleasant (9 miles), Fenland (12 miles), Fenning Farm (25 miles) and Grey Fern Park (13 miles).

If you fancy a spin on the cross-country field this summer head over to Ely Eventing Centre (19 miles) or Thurlow Estate (40 miles).

When hunting season returns, head out with either the Fitzwilliam or the Cambridgeshire Hunt.

There is a racecourse just 23 miles away at Huntingdon.

Sign up to BSPS Area 17 or NPS Areas 13 for a range of local showing shows and qualifiers held throughout the season.

Local pony clubs include the Cambridgeshire Hunt Pony Club or the Soham & District Pony Club.

Offered for sale by Rural Scene, this one is on the market at a respectable £400,000.

Do you think this rural nest could be a home to you?

Set in four acres, the property is located off a small country lane with two driveways providing plenty of parking for trailers and lorries. There is access to several bridleways close by.

New equine cancer unit opens at Cambridge University

Horse & Hound — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:26:45 +0000

Horses with cancer have a better chance of recovery thanks to the extension of a cancer therapy unit at the University of Cambridge.

The Queen’s Veterinary Hospital at the university is the only facility in Europe offering radiotherapy for horses. Last week it opened a new building to house a radiotherapy machine designed to treat animals.

Veterinary oncologist Dr Jane Dobson told H&H: “The building has been designed to allow us to bring horses into the treatment room.”

The new machine — called a linear accelerator — is identical to those used in human cancer treatment centres.

President of the British Equine Veterinary Association, David Dugdale, said the unit was “very good news” and offered a new treatment option for horses with cancer.

Horse and rider rescued after getting stuck upside down in a ditch

Horse & Hound — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:24:43 +0000

A horse and rider had a lucky escape last weekend after getting stuck upside down in a ditch in Cambridgeshire.

Two fire crews and a rescue vehicle were called to help the horse and rider after they fell into a 2m deep ditch in Longstowe on Sunday (3 August).

The pair were walking alongside the ditch when the horse, called Drummer, bolted. Both horse and rider fell in, with Drummer getting stuck upside down.

Firecrews rescued the woman and called a vet to sedate Drummer, who was then lifted to safety by a tractor.

Both were uninjured.

John Kitchener, Watch Manager at Gamlingay Fire Station, said: “When we arrived, both the woman and her horse were stuck at the bottom of a very steep ditch, with slippery mud on the banks.

“They were completely stuck and unable to lift themselves out. The horse was also very distressed.

“We were able to pull the woman free fairly easily, but the rescue of the horse was a little more complex. With the help of the farmer and under the advice of a vet, we used a tractor to winch the horse out of the ditch.”

Owner appeals for return of three-day-old foal

Horse & Hound — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:07:57 +0000

The owner of a foal stolen in Cambridgeshire last week when it was just three days old is urgently appealing for its return.

The filly foal, a part-bred Dutch warmblood and Andulucian, was stolen from a field in Murrow, near Wisbech last Thursday, 26 June.

Owner Tanya Barnes told H&H she checked on the mare and foal at 8am before work, and when she returned at 4pm to feed them, she could find no trace of the foal.

“They were in a field on their own,” said Tanya, “witnesses report a white transit van might have been seen in the area, but otherwise we have no real leads.”

The filly is described as “chocolate brown” but beginning to go grey, with a black mane and tail white star.

“We hadn’t micro-chipped her yet because she was only three days old — we hadn’t even named her though I think we were going to call her Storm,” said Tanya.

The mare left without her foal is “absolutely frantic” and Tanya is appealing for whoever took the filly to return her.

“I’m very concerned for both of them,” she said.

Cambridgeshire Police confirmed they are investigating the disappearance of a foal from an open field near Murrow, Cambridgeshire.

“Unfortunately though, it doesn’t appear we have any leads at present,” said a spokesman.

If you have any information, contact Cambridgeshire Police on 0845 4564564.
