Horse Details
|
They are simply wonderful. All in tip-top condition and trained to a high level of equitation. They range from Welsh Mountain Ponies for the tots to ride, right up to the Hanovarian super-stars.
In between there are the lovely floating ethereal Arabians; most of whom we have bred ourselves. We are very proud of our horses.
