    Guide Farm - June 2022 In May 2022 Kent Estuary G Guide Farm - June 2022 
In May 2022 Kent Estuary Guide Michael and his partner signed for the historic guides farm located in Grange. 

It is the oldest building in Grange with a prestigious Grade 2 listing. 

The farmhouse itself is being renovated next month and will take quite a number of months to complete but it will all be worth it in the end. 

The barn will be restored and Michael and Joanne will bring the history of the Guides Farm back to life. Along with a new boiler house for shrimps and it will be the place to buy your fresh fish from in the future! 

They have discovered a working natural spring which dates back to the 1300's along with lots of other historic information and memorabilia. 

Guides Farm formally known as Carter's Farm given the history of Carter Guides is a unique place and with Michael & Joanne's passion  enthusiasm and hard work it really will be a magnificent place to visit!

Here Farrah and Joanne are pictured riding along the headland at Arnside at the beginning of the bay walk both Cisco & Charlie where on very good form, our bay ride consisted of stoney areas, jumping a cut, splashing our way through the river Kent,  salty manes and sandy hooves 😍

Thank you to Roger Hiley for capturing the awesome photo πŸ“Έ

    Bringing history back to the bay - Michael Wilso Bringing history back to the bay - 

Michael Wilson is certainly bringing history back to the bay with his horse Charlie and fellow cob Cisco joining him on Saturdays bay walk. 

Charlie 1st image was ridden by Joanne & Cisco 2nd image was ridden by Farrah both horses are Gypsy Cobs. 

Horses have crossed Morecambe Bay for many many years well before the era of railway, the ' sand road ' was used by many to cross Morecambe bay from various points. 

Yesterday Charlie & Cisco embarked on a journey like no other, starting at Arnside and finishing at Grange along side 300 walkers. 

They loved their day out and loved having their photos taken by the hundreds of walkers 🐴

If you missed them they will be making more appearances this year πŸ‘£

* DO NOT attempt to ride out on Morecambe bay sands they are many treturous areas with soft sand, this is why there is a professional appointed guide.
