A place of history

Ada Cole Memorial Stables, which merged with Redwings in 2005, was founded in 1932 in memory of an exceptional lady called Ada Cole.

Some of the first residents were war horses brought back from fighting overseas. We are fortunate enough to still have the ledgers of residents at the time and be able to read a little about these four-legged heroes.
