Toby Toby (Full name Amadeus) has proved himself to be a fantastic little riding pony with a lovely nature Though quite small he is happy to boss some of the other ponies about! He is a Welsh part-bred and is 20yrs old, a dark bay and 11hh2, slightly bigger than Tammy

Spot Spot (full name Haws Robin Suprise!) is a handsome Scottish Sports Pony at 13hh and a Appaloosa colour. He has a very distinctive coat (hence the name). He is really sweet and a dream to ride.

Beautiful Beauty Beauty is a 14 year old 12hh2 chestnut mare. She is a superb little jumper, able to jump over 3ft fences with ease.
Shardai Shardai is a 12hh2 bay mare who has taught all the our children how to ride. She is excellent at showjumping, cross-country, mounted games and polocrosse, basically any activity which means going fast. Shardai is getting quite elderly now (about 29 years old)so we try and keep her work gentle and relaxed, she has earnt it.

Justin Justin is a 14 year old 12hh2 grey Welsh section B gelding. He was once a show pony which is evident in how he holds his head. He looks magnificent and he knows it ! He is also a good jumper having won a number of classes in the Angelsey County show.

Meg Meg (full name Mystic Meg) is a beautiful 16 year old 13hh2, bay New Forest pony who loves to jump. She is quite fast when you want her to be, but listens to you when you ask her to slow up. She joined us in April 2009 so hasn't had long to get in to the Riding School routine. A firm favourite already with many of our riders, she is building up a sizeable fan club.

Roly Roly (full name Rolling Wave) is a mild mannered 13hh2 roan Irish jumping Pony. We bought him from a Show jumping family who had out grown him. He has been well taught aso while having a scopey jump he remains easily controllable. Happy and contented in the stable he loves company and gets on well with the other ponies. When we got him we were told he was hard to catch and didn't like men! But now he's got over those fears and never causes any trouble. A joy to ride, he is well loved by his riders.

Jazz Jazz is an 8 year old 15hh black mare. She is quite a character and can often be seen dozing in her stable with a quivery lower lip when in relaxed mode. Popular amongst our riders, she does need a gentle touch to get the best from her, don't kick, just squeeze.

Faithful Faith Faith is a 14hh2 chestnut mare. She is sweet natured and has a lovely gentle trot, a bit like sitting in an armchair!. We bought her from the same place as Justin so they know each other very well. She is about 14 years old.

Santi Santi (Full name Santi Aguena) is a 14hh3 chestnut Argentinian Polo Pony. However, she is now one of the country's finest polocrosse ponies, ridden by Simon Amor, a UK under 21 team player. She is so fast it's incredible to watch. Get her on the beach and open her up and your eyes water and your skin ripples with the acceleration. She is a difficult ride and certainly not for general use in the riding school I'm afraid. She has been taught to jump now and while she and Simon are not the most elegant team they get the job done and jump the jumps.

Skye Skye (Full name Red Night Skye) is Barry's Polocrosse horse. She is a 16hh flea-bitten grey thoroughbred who also jumps beautifully and is easy going and willing in the school. She learns quickly and took to polocrosse really well.

Gentle Giant Mal (real name Dylasau Malas !) is a 9 year old Irish Draught/Hanovarian. At 16hh2 she stands tall and dwarfs most of the other horses. She is a beautiful dapple grey with a quiet and honest nature - a real gentle giant. However, she can be a bit sensitive in the stable so needs careful handling. Quiet out on hacks she fills everybody with confidence despite her size, everybody loves riding her

Perfect Penny Penny (real name Penhalligon Arkansas !) is a perfect riding school horse as she changes her response according to the rider. She will willingly trudge along with an absolute beginner or go hell for leather when she plays Polocrosse. She can also jump and you can see her here in action. At 15 years old she has many years of riding ahead of her. She is a 15hh chestnut Thoroughbred(TB) mare who's great grandfather was the famous racehorse Northern Dancer. She is a wonderful horse to ride being responsive and willing without being unmanageable.

Mozart Mozzy(real name Mozart) is Helen's horse and is a 16hh2 chestnut gelding. He is a Selle Francais (French breed) and competes in all types of competitions including eventing and showjumping. Unfortunately, He's not for use in the riding school as Helen guards him jealously!!
