Pinetrees Riding

Our darling Charlie has made his final jump over the Rainbow Bridge. He had a great and long life – perhaps 38 years, we are not sure. Originally, he came with a batch of jumping horses from the UK, brought over by Lynn Dixon. With a succession of young owners, he took them over the jumps to win many a prize at the Algarve Riding Club shows.
When he came to Pinetrees he helped countless children to learn to ride and jump and he gave great service to the Riding for the Disabled project.
Yesterday, our vet Nuno Onofre agreed that the time had come and Charlie was p.t.s. He will be remembered with fondness by many.

Yes, we are safe at Pinetrees!

As many of you have heard, there have been terrible storms in Portugal: heavy rain and flooding, hail and snow, and strong winds. There has been tremendous damage to properties, countryside, loss of trees and beaches, businesses ruined, livestock, ….

Many of you have contacted us to see how things are at Pinetrees. Luckily, we have had little damage: a few dead trees fell, a strip of roofing off the wooden house but no infiltration, and arenas and paddocks are full of mud. Very little damage compared to many riding facilities in Portugal.

For us It has meant financial difficulties as it has not been possible to do business, and, the expense of maintaining our horses continue.

Our feed merchant, Paulo Afonso, who is a great chap to work with, has set up a scheme with the feed suppliers of INTACOL to donate feed to some of the riding facilities badly affected by the storms, especially in Leiria. If you would like to offer some financial support with some horse feed to the most deserving cases, please send your donation to the following IBAN address.

IBAN: PT50 0045 7120 4011 8829 6630 7 in the name of José Manuel Filipe Afonso, which is the Casa Das Rações, in Messines, business account.
