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!

Apricot is a very pretty girl with striking blue eyes and although technically skewbald, her colouring is more lemon and white. She joined the Ride High family in 2024 but 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.

Do say hello to Carrie if you see her on the yard!

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!
