CurroCurro is a 12hh Shetland pony cross. He might be a little chap but he has bucket loads of character. He sometimes needs a firm hand to make sure he knows who's boss!!! He is a versatile chap who can jump and will also pull a cart. Our son Jack (aged 4) loves to ride "his" pony and first mounted him at the tender age of 18 months!!!!!

LuceroLucero is a 15.2hh Spanish gelding (PRE). He arrived here at the end of February 2010 coming from the Sevilla region of Andalucia. We think he is absolutely stunning and has alerady turned the heads of all the regular riders. He seemed very nervy on arrival but has already settled down and seems to love being ridden out with or without company!!! We think he is going to be a real favourite!!
-

ElsieElsie is a 13.2hh mare. Her breeding is unknown, but she is quite a sturdy lady. On her arrival, she was incredibly nervous and had no mane or tail, but a year on she is a totally different girl. Elsie is a good fun ride and great for lead rein.
-
ChieftanChieftan is 15hh ¾ bred pacer. He is owned by Denise who brought him over to us from the Uk. He is great all rounder and very solid. He is a particular favourite of our mate "J" seen here riding him at one of our group rides and lunch days. He doesn't always grin as cheesily as that ..maybe it was the couple of beers he'd had with his lunch!!! -
ZeraphinZeraphin is a 17hh Andalucian cross. His actual age is unknown but he is thought to be well in his twenties. He was taken on in 2002 due to his owner going back to England and had an uncertain future. Although he is now in retirement due to arthritis, he was a showman in his day. He now makes a great companion for his pal Trinity.

KikoKiko is a 14.2hh Spanish gelding. We were his last chance in life, and he came with the description of being “mad”!!! However, now he has put on weight and calmed down. He has begun his work and we think with a lot of patience will eventually become a nice horse. -

As a juvenile he was a very strong character and needed a firm hand. He is now a fun loving boy who enjoys his work and especially loves to jump.
-
TillyTilly is a 14hh Arab cross mare. She is a brave good all rounder, perfect for beginners but still spirited enough for the more experienced. She is also a great jumper. -
DuqueDuque is 16hh grey Spanish gelding. He was gifted to us after a short holiday stay as his then owners did not feel they could take him away as he had built such a strong friendship with Elsie. They are now a "proper" couple and living happily together!! He is one of Erika's favourite rides, very strong and forward going and always used at the fiestas as he looks the biz when dressed up!!!! He is seen here getting ready for return to the ranch after a group ride and Sunday lunch at local restaurant "Bistro Bonito".
-
FigaroFigaro is a 15hh portugese gelding. He came to us in October 2008 in a pretty bad state. Underweight, and having had his hoof “trimmed” with a wood saw!!!!! He subsequently has a problem with this leg but with the addition of special boots can be ridden. He is now fighting fit and we think extremely handsome. He is Spanish trained, and extremely lively!!!!!!!!!! -

Dad Glen is nowhere to be seen .... probably feeling slightly light headed due to the lack of weight in his wallet!!!!!!!!!!
