Horses

		Becky Becky is now one of our retired horses but was much loved by all – she now spends her days relaxing in the fields.				Lulu Lulu is now semi retired and spends most of her time in the field.
		Spikkel Spikkel at 16.3hh is one of our taller horses and only came for a week seven years ago and yet never left. She has been a valued school horse for the more skilled riders throughout this time and is now semi retired. Weight Limit – 14st				Polly Polly is one of our larger horses at 16.2 and a real all-rounder. Calm enough for the less confident rider yet when asked to be more forward she has nice paces and can work into the contact. She can then really cover the ground when asked to jump.
		Blue Blue, affectionately termed 'New Blue' is our grey cob at the stables, at 14.3hh he is only just a horse but with his tummy he feels bigger. Weight Limit – 15st				Dolly Dolly is one of our finer horses at the stables. She’s 15hh, rising nine this time and for the more experienced rider she’s lovely - always wants to please. Weight Limit – 13st
		Maisie Maisie is one of our newer younger ponies at the stables. She’s forward going and loves jumping and at 14.1 she’s perfect for the taller child or small adult. Weight Limit – 9st				Fern Fern is now fully retired and spends her days with her best friend Spirit.
		Doodles Doodles is one of our working liveries. He is a beautiful 11.2 pony – very forward thinking and sensitive but a lovely ride for the more advanced child.				Spirit Spirit is now fully retired and spends his days with his best friend Fern.
		Jester Jester is now retired having done many years in the school. He enjoys spending his days in the fields.				Charlie Charlie is a cheeky fellow who loves to chew anything but most especially his reins!! His favourite game is traffic lights and we sometimes think he is even more competitive than his riders!
		Tommy Tommy is popular pony at 11.2 and a total gentleman he is perfect for tiny tots to learn on. Weight Limit – 7st				Ellie Ellie is one of our working liveries. She is 14.2, a beautiful coloured pony and she knows it. She works nicely into the contact and has a surprisingly large jump for her size and stature.
		Smurf Smurf is a 13.2 pony who is quiet enough for the lead rein lesson, just coming off the lead as well as for the more advanced. He’s now just finding his feet with jumping having never done it before coming to us.				Billy Billy is the spitting image of Smurf just a couple of hands bigger – at 15hh he is definitely his brother from another mother. He has lovely paces and works well into the contact.
		Slade Slade is a strawberry roan 14hh forward thinking pony. Slade loves jumping and nothing phases him.				Silver Silver is a beautiful 16.2 grey although more finely boned than our other big horses. He works into the contact nicely and has a great jump.
		Tilly, Sabrina and Del Following on the tradition started by Wilbur we currently have three Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs: Tilly, Sabrina and Del.
