Mares:

Atlanta is a beautiful black mare with her mother’s eyes and attitude to gates, she goes where she wants to graze. She has potential both as a big trail ride with lots of confidence and as a brood mare. Atlanta has started her working career. Atlanta was always a flighty horse in the field she was more difficult to work with on the ground.

As a ride she is very responsive; more for the advanced rider, as she moves forward easily with her long strides. Destined to be one of our very popular trail rides and with her height a big brood mare. Atlanta will spend her next few years as a riding horse, only letting her foal once she has fully grown out

Caribbean wanted her own rider like her mom. Her mother Jamaica is was our schoolmaster and used for lessons. Caribbean joined her mother trotting over trotting poles, bending poles and even jumps from a few days old. One morning Caribbean nudged Johnny who was carrying his 18-month-old daughter at the time until Johnny placed Sky on Caribbean’s back. Then she was happy and proud she had her own rider. She, at 6 months, had backed herself!

Caribbean has her daddy’s personality she wants loves and does not always take no as an answer Caribbean is not pushy on the ground but will stand patiently for attention but when you move off she follows you. You share shoes and can play follow my leader through any obstacle course. Maturing into a very kind, affectionate mare, bigger than her mother she will probably grow out later like her brother Excalibur who seem to grow out later and only bulk out at 6-7 years.

Caribbean lost the foal she was carrying, it was not a planned pregnancy our neighbours stallion jumped the fence, 2009 has been a very hard year with little to no rain and the grass exceptionally dry. A blessing as we don’t like our mares to foal too young, it stunts their growth and we will let her conceive again only after a few years of working.

Flake is valuable as a brood mare, throwing quality foals and hard working progeny like Robin Hood, Travis, Black Jack, Demeter, Esmeralda and Black Berry.

We bought Gwenevier at a dubious auction in horrific condition. I was not sure we would get her home alive, she was terribly thin and full of huge old scars across her chest from a big accident, Fence, car? She is inclined to loose weight when feeding a foal but she picks up quickly once weaned.

She has proven to be an unsuspected success story. She loves the longer trails and has given us three fillies, Cleopatra, Aphrodite, Lola and is currently pregnant again.

Aging fast the last year 2009 has been a hard year with little to no rain and Gwenevier has taken strain.

Joan of Arc, one of the first horses to be bred and trained by us, she has had the perfect upbringing. Joan of Arc is a stunning mare in terms of height, stature and temperament. A big strong lady, with superb high action, who is honest and forward moving. She has recently started training for the carriage, a mare we have not used to her full potential as a riding horse, but

When Berica was born, Joan of Arc walked about 20 meters towards me and then turned her hindquarters towards me, I saw two feet that were sticking out but the shoulders and head was stuck! Joan had come to look for help, we pulled out the foal and all was well.

I have high expectations for this big mare I believe she is going to be an asset both in work and as a brood mare.

Suitable for beginner - experienced.

Queen is not a beginner’s horse and can take advantage and go faster if not checked. She was obviously ridden from walk to gallop and thinks that is what is expected. A very forward moving mare with lots of energy and wants to please.

She gave us pretty and hard working gelding Royal Revenge and currently pregnant.

King Arthur a miniature stallion was supposed to be daddy but Starlight 90cm wanted Poseidon a huge Friesian standing 17.2hh - the result Thumbelina.

A cute real miniature Friesian filly already bigger than Starlight. We could have a perfect lead rein pony / 2nd pony or for harness.

A forward moving little lady that has awesome motion and confirmation. A very flashy, showy mare that moves on a cloud, she floats. Loving mare with her father’s nature except near food.

We put her saddle on one of our development kids jumped on her back and off she went like she had been ridden all her life. Keeping up with the front horses taking 4 steps to every on of the bigger horses. We laughed watching September posting at the trot Thumbelina’s legs moving in a blur. She loved every second of her first ride and was reluctant to have her saddle removed.

Thumbelina is not a first pony she is forward moving, flighty, moving from A-B in a big competitive hurry to keep up with the horses 4 times her size. She was very happy to pass dogs, trucks and wade in the sea but can spook at movement in the grass. Brave at what she can see.

We are going to spend time with her as she has huge potential and is as cute as a button under saddle. As she matures she could well be used for less experienced riders but for now only takes kids that do know how to ride.
