HORSE RIDING

Our horses & ponies are waiting to meet you!

We have a range of horses and ponies who are all continually trained and assessed for their suitability to all levels of riding experience, age groups and physical abilities. Our current horses and ponies are…

FERNE

Height: 16hh
Colour: Bay
Date of Birth: 15th May
Mare/Gelding: Mare
Type/Breed: Cob

Description: Ferne is currently our biggest horse at Clyne Farm. Ironically, her best friend is the smallest member of our equine team, Spot. Ferne is the boss of the herd and very much enjoys her time relaxing in the field. She is a great jumper, and sometimes cheekily demonstrates this by jumping over the gate out of the field!

Date of Birth: 6th June
Mare/Gelding: Gelding

Mare/Gelding: Gelding
Type/Breed: Gypsy Cob

Description: Tonto is a favourite amongst staff members. He is great to practice some more established dressage movements in the arena. He loves going hacking across the common and particularly enjoys going up the canter track! He doesn’t like being left in the stables until last, so has to be turned out when the first groups go to the field.
