Carrie is definitely vying with Heidi for the prettiest pony award! She has a big personality, despite her diminutive size – She doesn’t like to be idle and is a fun, forward ride for our more competent younger riders, as her little legs can move very fast – which was great for the summer’s gymkhana games; but she is also a sensible and kind pony on the lead-rein with beginners. Do say hello to Carrie if you see her on the yard!

Phoenix joined our team in 2024 and he has settled in well at the Centre. He’s a kind soul who is steady to ride and friendly on the ground, which makes him ideal for our teenage riders to learn on.
He’s already very popular with our team due to his lovely, affable nature and he does like visitors, so do say hello to him when you are next on the yard!

Moana is a friendly mare, with a lovely calm disposition. She joined the Equestrian Centre in early 2024 and after the birth of her filly Te-Fiti in April ‘24, she has now returned to work and has settled back into riding lessons beautifully. A kind, gentle mare, she always tries her best for her rider and we think she will soon be as popular as the lovely Monnie. Moana loves a fuss, and her laid-back personality means she’s great for groundwork as well as lessons in the school – do say hello if you see her on the yard!

Wilson is a happy-go-lucky soul who likes cuddles on the yard but does enjoy his privacy and quiet-time in his stable. He’s also quite adept at stealing hay if you go too close with his neighbour’s hay net! Wilson joined us in 2024 and is equally happy working with our beginners and our more advanced riders. Look out for Wilson at your next lesson!

Heidi is the petite princess of our yard! She loves to be groomed and always looks after our smallest riders in the school. She mustn’t have treats and we restrict her grazing to keep her well (you may spot her in the fields with her grazing muzzle on).
Heidi always loves a fuss and cuddle, so do come and say hello if you see her!

Like Heidi, Dream is a very pretty welsh mare and a bit of a “princess”! Dream is also typical of her breed in that she can be cheeky and likes to play games on the ground. Our riders find her a fun and forward ride in the school and she’s a popular choice with our more advanced but smaller riders.
Dream enjoys her quiet time in the stable and we ask that you respect her privacy when she’s in and don’t crowd her stable door, but you can always say hello to her in the school!

Reggie is a working livery who joined the yard in autumn 2024. He’s a Welsh Section A pony who loves cuddles and is proving to be a great schoolmaster for more nervous children and lead-rein riders.

Mannie is a working livery who’s a lovely natured little cob with a very full mane and tail. He’s a forward ride with a kind nature, which makes him ideal for our smaller, more advanced riders but he’s also happy to stand for hours to be fussed and groomed, which is great for our groundwork sessions. Mannie works well on the lead rein with our beginners, so he’s a very adaptable pony and popular with lots of our riders as well as his owner! Do say hello to this little chap if you see him on the yard.

Apricot is a very pretty girl with striking blue eyes. She’s a working livery and as she is fairly young, she is still learning the ropes in the school and you will usually find her in our more advanced lessons. Her forward nature and love of jumping have made her a popular choice for our more advanced teenage riders and smaller adults. Apricot does enjoy peace and quiet in the stable, which is why her box is not on the main yard and she finds lots of visitors a bit overwhelming, so we don’t recommend stopping at her stable to say hello.

Bracken is a working livery who has spent most of his life at Ride High, having joined us as a youngster before he began his ridden career. He enjoys his work and is a cheeky gypsy-type cob who likes to pull faces for the camera! He’s an ideal pony for our more advanced riders to hone their skills on as he is a forward ride, despite his little legs, and he’s a super jumper.
Horses are traditionally measured in hands and inches from the ground up to the base of the horse’s neck.
A hand is 4 inches so a 14. 2 hands high (hh) pony means 14 hands and 2 inches. Therefore 58 inches from the ground to his shoulder/base of neck.
In the horse world every horse that looks white is called grey. Horses that are grey can be born any colour, however, bay, chestnut, or black base colours are most common. As the horse matures, white hairs begin to replace the base or birth colour – which explains why our snowy white Treacle probably got her name!
