Our Horses

Embrujada

A gorgeous PRE mare of the old baroque stamp She has a gorgeous temperament and will turn heads wherever she goes. She is tall but well proportioned with the typical square look and extremely comfortable. You will be sooo proud to ride her and if you respect her lightness, she will take you to the end of the world and back !

Amadeo

Amadeo is a mature gelding with a "busy" brain and a playful temperament, originally bred by the Spanish army. He is a baroque type with classical beauty and is enthusiastic in his work. He collects his gaits with great ease and feels like a rocking horse when ridden with lightness and sensitivity.

Rociera

Our tall and elegant pedigree PRE mare who is the main lead horse. Rociera came to us as a young undernourished and inexperienced mare and has turned into a stunning mature mare with an affectionate personality who absolutely adores people and is happy to have a go at any task given to her...

Sirocco

Our beautiful chestnut gelding named after the 'wind of the desert' ! He is a gorgeous mature red head who knows his job better than anyone. Sirocco is a Spanish "3 sangres" or Anglo x Hispano-Arab, combining the best attributes of these breeds - he is a great ride and a real gentleman !

Gitana

Gitana is a great Spanish mare of solid build who is very willing to work. She stands at 16hh and is a gorgeous darker grey. She has both the looks and temperament of a typical Spanish horse, cuddly but with some spunk as well, a real showy mare ! One thing : she LOVES to eat, so hide your apple !!

Tio Pepe

A real boy with bags of character and all the charm of a beautiful proud Spanish horse. He grew up in the Malaga mountains and has amazingly tough feet, hard legs and is extremely surefooted. He is fast, very forward going and never gives up. Tío Pepe needs an experienced, gentle and sensitive rider. You will be proud to ride him !

Tormenta

A gorgeous bright bay half pedigree PRE mare, who loves to flirt with the boys. She is very comfortable ride, forward going but very steady and super safe ! Nothing much will worry her and she has the best temperament ever !

Savannah

Savannah is a quality stunning HispanoArab mare. She is our princess and super sensitive. She has gone through too many hands in her younger life, but she has settled in well with us. Savannah is a keen learner and with patience she is willing to tackle anything. She is our pride and joy and does best with a relaxed and sensitive quiet rider.

Morante

Morante is a very handsome ¨3 sangres¨ gelding. He has gone through quite a few hands before coming to us and had trust issues. He is very happy now :-) and his life of being sold on is now in the past. He has big amazing movements and would have done very well in the dressage ring, but he loves his country rides ! He is gorgeous !

Bandolero

Bandolero is our smallest but of course he has a much bigger personality ;-). When we first got him, his feet needed some urgent attention as his previous owner used to do the shoeing himself. Needless to say that this caused him to have sore feet.... Bandolero first enjoyed a couple of months of recovery and we then slowly prepared him as a guest horse for the lighter and smaller riders. He has a few seasons under his belt now and loves his work and the people who ride him. He is very brave and is one of the lads in the paddock !

Etala

Etala is a purebred PRE mare, who came to us as her elderly owner could no longer take care of her and was not in a position to start her. We have started groundwork with her and she is lightly backed....moving forward slowly....there will be regular updates on Etala. She is stunning and a quick learner, so keep an eye on her !

Shakira

A stunning mare of immense presence and natural collection. Shakirah came to us after having suffered a less fortunate life and she didn't trust people very much. Shakira is an excellent lead horse and very brave with both Lusitano and Spanish blood in her veins ! She worked hard for us for more than 15 years and is now enjoying retirement - she is the biggest cuddler in the paddock.
