13hh, piebald, Irish cob

Billy is a very jolly pony, always pleased to see everyone. He has a lovely nature, is willing and honest and loves his home comforts. Billy is quite flat backed which is ideal for our clients that require the use of a pad or sheepskin saddle as they can get a much better connection with the horse’s movement.

OK so he’s not a horse, but he has four legs and spends most of his day hanging out with the boys on the yard and in the fields. Boots was a stray that found his way to us - unclaimed, he decided to stay and became a permanent fixture on the yard. He is extremely affectionate and charms everyone he meets – he also does a great job of keeping rodents away.

As his name suggests, he can be a clown, but he is a very intelligent horse. Despite his build, Coco is surprisingly light on his feet, he has a lovely stride and likes to ‘strut his stuff’ - he truly believes he is John Travolta! One of Coco’s favourite pastimes is seeing how many fence posts he can knock down!

LJ loves attention and being groomed. He is very charming with a cheeky expression and is so laid back he would fall over. He is reliable, steady, gentle, and gives children confidence and stability. When LJ is used for the RDA holidays, his rider always wants to take him home. We always joke that if we could clone LJ and have a variety of sizes, we would!

Despite being one of our most mature ponies, Swlltyn is fit as a fiddle. Some struggle with his lovely Welsh name, so we all call him ‘Sucky’.
