Horses

Listed below are our riding centre horses. Our horses are of various breeds and are available for you to ride as they have been selected for their friendly characters and out-going amenability. Some of our horses were bred, backed and trained by us. All of them take riders of varying experience on enjoyable rides along pathways and tracks into the local countryside or forest and along the coast. Many of our horses also enter local, regional and national competitions. We know a lot about their life histories:
Candida
12.3hh, over 20 years, Garrano cross mare. 
Candy (as she is known) is used for the Childrens rides and also takes children with riding ability out on the longer rides. She is a favorite of many smaller kids at the Pony-Mad Club on Saturdays. Candy is also a driving pony and has a traditional Algarvean cart that she uses when opening fairs and festivals.
Scrumpy
13hh, over 20 years, Garrano mare. 
Scrumpy is a great children's pony. Excellent on the lead rein and out on rides, she also competes in local gymkhanas, dressage and jumping competitions.
Pip Squeak 13.3hh, 4 years, Fjiord x Shetland gelding. 
Pip is a new addition to the stables and is presently being backed. We hope that Pip will be a versatile little horse able to give enjoyment to children and small adults alike.
