This morning, I was had an exchange of messages with local Riding Stables owner and operator Stevie Ansell, during which she noted that business was a little down at the moment due to the ongoing roadworks on the Pelsall Road, Brownhills, just outside her premises.
The Pelsall Road has been closed for a few weeks for mains replacement and resurfacing, and the diversions and hassle really seem to be putting a few folk off.
This is a bit of a blow, as following recent incidents of theft and vandalism, all in all the riding stables are not having a very good time of things lately.
We thought it might be a good idea to point out the stables are very much open for business, and cater well for kids (and adults!) of all ages and abilities.
I’ve known many of Stevie’s customers and they’ve all had a great time. And hey, horses – what’s not to love? You can visit Stevie’s website here.
