This page will tell you about the horses that make up my herd currently, as well as some special horses who have passed on, yet remain an important part of my team!
Kerub
Kerub; a 15.2hh Furioso gelding, born 2002. Kerub was my first horse who I got when I was 12 years old. Always the 'leader' of the herd, a charasmatic and highly intelligent horse who has been my greatest teacher.
Likes: FOOD! Me keeping to HIS routine
Dislikes: Being ridden, too much 'fussing' over him.
Dexter; a 16.2hh Irish sports horse gelding, born 2007. Currently my 'main' horse who is a genuine all rounder that doesnt let anything faze him. A true professional under saddle, and a quirky cheeky guy on the yard.
Sandy; a 16.2hh Irish sports horse gelding, born 2006. One of my main ridden horses, who until retiring through injury was a genuine all-rounder. The sweetest, most loveable soul who always sets out to please.
Likes: People and children, all the other horses, playing, attention...anything and everything really!
Dislikes: A hard one...hot shoeing - the smoke worries him..having his mane pulled - he gets a lovely scissor cut!
Tico; a 15.2hh Welsh Sec D gelding, born 2012. Bought as a 3 year old I then backed and schooled Tico before selling him on to one of my teenage 'Kids club' riders. He remains on the yard now as a full livery client.
Likes: Playing! With both peope and other horses! Learning new things.
Argyle; 12.2hh Eriskay gelding, born 2010. Bred by us, Argyle is one of the 'originals' of our team. Having a shakey start in life where he was quite small and took some TLC, Argyle has grown into a larger than life, cheeky character who makes us all smile! He's our mini machine with a load of horse power!
Likes: Shetlands - a complete 'wanabe' member of our shettie gang. Argyle also loves to Jump!
Disikes: Doing nothing! Easily bored, this one keeps us on our toes!
Solo; 16hh Cob X gelding, born 1991. One of our 'old boys', solo has claimed 'wise king' of the yard. Worth his weight in gold, i dont think i could give any more thanks or admiration towards a great partner. A workaholic, Solo is now finallly retired but enjoyed a life full of all activities!
Likes: Feeding time! (I swear he can tell the time!)
Dislikes: When the younger ones of the herd get a little 'big for their boots'!
Sinbad; a 15.2hh Shire X gelding, born 1995. Also part of the 'old boys' crew, Sinbad is our loveable, hugable, hairy horse with a fantastic moustache!
Likes: summer sun snoozing as seen in his picture!
Paddy; 15.1hh coloured cob gelding, born 1998. Our riding school sweetheart, Paddy really is a treasure. A little misunderstood, paddy has previousy been labelled as the 'grumpy' one, but this really isnt so!
Isla, other wise known as our Queen! 12hh Eriskay broodmare (mummy to our Argyle) reigns over our yard as our VIP OAP. Born in 1988, Isla has many chapters in her life, some that make for hard reading. Being with us since 2006 though has seen her come out of her shell and give more of herself to us. A sweet and fiesty soul, one of the strongest I know!
