Our horses
Gypsey
Hi! I’m Gypsey!
I’m super excited to meet you. I’m a paint pony mare.
I was rescured from some nasty people who used to hobble my feet. It was so painful. I was never able to walk properly until I arrived here. I was scared at first, but now I am so happy!
I’m little bit shy but I love cuddles and carrots. If you can’t ride, don’t worry! I’m happy to teach you and we’ll have so much fun together!
Tiffany
I’m Tiffany!
I’m pleased to make your acquaintance!
I’m a Welsh X Arab mare and I’m a princess. My tail is long and soft. I just love being pamepered and you can brush and braid my tail and mane as much as you like.
Even though I’m a princess, I excell at western mounted games show juming. I get a little sad when I don’t have kids around to give me treats and cuddles.
I am super excited to start riding with you!
Tonto
My name is Tonto.
I’m a gelding and the smallest of all the ponies here. I have a long tail that almost reaches my feet.
My favourite thing in the world (no, it’s not a snack), is a….. BARREL! I just love spinning around them in a tight circle as fast as I can!
You don’t need to worry though. I can be calm and collected until you learn to ride well and then we can go charging at barrels together.
Do come visit me soon!
Shadow
I’m Shadow!
I am a Friesian X Boerperd gelding. My friends also call me “Ouman”. I’m not a spring chicken anymore, but I’m perfect if you’re to big for a pony and you’re just learning to ride. I’m what they call “a children’s horse”.
I usually need to warm up a little before we start trotting but once I’m warmed up I can be quite spunky. I still have a lot of trot in these old bones of mine! With my winters’ coat I’m quite fluffy. My coat feels like velvet and you’ll like cuddling me as much as I like being cuddled.
I’m not picky with treats and I’d love for you to bring me a snack when you visit!
Whiskey
I’m Whiskey!
I’m an Arab x Boerperd gelding. I was the very first horse here and yup, all this maddness started with me. I never thought that I’d have this many friends here.
I’m at my happiest when I’m being fussed over (while getting snacks). You can groom me and ride me bare back, play with my tail, sit between my feet, smooch me and nuzzle my neck. Like i said, I thrive on attention. The more kids, the happier I am.
I’m my mom’s heart-horse. She says I smell more horsey than any of the other horses and that makes her happy.
Do come visit as soon as you can – and please bring snacks!
Luna
I am Luna.
I am a dark bay thouroughbred X boerperd. I got named Luna because of the white moonlight streaks on my back.
I’m quite tall and lively but I am well trained and you need not let my size discourage you.
I can help you master western mounted games and jumping.
I travelled a long way to be here and I must admit that It’s quite different from what I’m used to. My favourite leasure time is when I get to go and graze in grassy fields with my friends.
I also enjoy long walks on the beach **jokes**) a good workout and a ride with my human friends.
I’m looking forward to training you.
Midnight
I’m Midnight, a Friesian X Thoroughbred mare.
I’m the Madame Mare and in charge of my little herd.
I recently became a mom. My little rascal’s name is Kahl Drogo. It’s a lot of work raising a foal. He has so much to learn and boy, can he be a handul!
I love to gallop – I don’t like being held back and I’ll take any opportunity to join in a friendly race. If you are brave enough to venture on an outride with me, I will show you what it feels like to fly!
Even though I’m forward going, I am a professional and you need not fear riding me. You should know the basics though. Barrels, small jumps and obstacle courses excite me.
I look forward to meeting you. Snacks welcome 😉
Dakota
Hi, I’m Dakota!
I am the proud mom of a foal called Fakkel. He is my pride and joy. I’m having a bit of trouble leaving him behind with the sitter when I go out, but he is growing up so fast and has to get used to it.
I am very gentle and easy going and I need a little bit of encouragement if you want me to speed up a bit.
It takes a while to win my trust but once you have it, we’ll be friends forever.
You will find my back very comfortable, especially if you’re going to spend a fair amount of time on there.
I hope to see you around real soon!
Willow
My name is Willow. I’m a boerperd mare. I was recently genteled and am rather new at being ridden, but I love it!
As I am still young, I can’t go on long outrides yet, but I’ll get there.
