Blue
Blue is a 14.2hh cob who arrived with us in 2015. He is a ride and drive horse and is one of the most popular ponies on the yard (not that we are supposed to have favourites!). He has a brilliant temperament and has been trained to be mounted by the hoist. This enables him to be ridden by a large variety of riders, who have experienced riding for the first time, flat work, show jumping, going out on hacks and going to competitions.
Steady Eddie, the mechanical horse
Steady Eddie is our mechanical horse and is a key member of our herd and always keeps his stable nice and clean! Our riders are able to mount him by mounting block or by our sling hoist, which enables wheel chair users to mount him. Riders love to have a lesson on Eddie so that they can improve their balance, position, and have the physio benefits of the movement of the horse in a controlled and secure environment. Eddie is able to wear a variety of saddles which mean we can tailor him to suit his riders.
Jelly
Jelly is owned by Herefordshire RDA, and arrived with us in 2014. She is 18 years old and is a beautiful 15.3hh black cob with a white blaze and a very kind eye. She is trained to be mounted by hoist, which enables wheelchair users to ride her. She does flat work and showjumping, goes out for hacks and has introduced many riders to competing. Jelly was bred to be a Police horse and has a great unflappable temperament.
