Our beautiful Maggie is 18, she is a Connemara cross Throuroughbred mare and has been with us for 14 years. She has been one of the most difficult yet taleneted horses I have ever worked with, though she has a steadier pace of life now, we had a succesful and colourful career together in Eventing (Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country).

 

Maggie has a strong sense of right and wrong, and a heightened set of emotions which she will valiantly share with you, she has an enourmous heart and is a wonderful teacher.

Our little Pickle is a Cob cross welsh pony, she's almost 13 hands high and is 10 years old. We have owned Pickle for 18 months and she is the biggest teddy bear i've ever met.

 

Pickle has spent lots of her life teaching young children to ride, she can jump, gallop and loves to spend all day being brushed and pampered.

 

I have never known a pony with a kinder heart than Pickle, she will give her all to you.
