Connor
(Welsh)

Mozart
(Highland)

Connor has a sweet nature and is a real  fun children's pony. He will happily carry his small charges over a course of jumps or take the youngest child out for their first hack. He is also one of our driving ponies and you may well see him trotting smartly along the road with his carriage; he thoroughly enjoys his outings

What a fab pony! He is a typical Highland pony with a super temperament and remarkable ability to jump and a talent for dressage. An enjoyable mount for children and adults.

Keeper
(Dutch Warmblood - 'Gamekeeper')

Jessie
(Highland - 'Jessie of Rosefield')

A bay gelding standing 16.3hh. He is a perfect gentleman in and out of the stable. As a sporthorse he was bred for dressage and he will certainly give the more educated rider the fluent feel of advanced movements.

Jessie is our third generation of home-bred Highland ponies - she is every child's dream, with long flowing mane and enchanting personality. She has an eagerness to please and never fails to delight her rider.

Hobbit
(Fresian - 'Waylands Hobbit')

Solo
(Hackney - from Argentina)

A beautiful, elegant gentleman with manners to die for. He has a long curly mane and tail. He has wonderful elevated paces and freedom of movement - you feel that you could ride him for ever.

When Solo first came to Beechwood she had only been ridden a little as Hackneys are driving horses and she seemed so sad. She had probably had a fairly hard time before coming to the UK. She is now very happy and settled and is a good member of the Beechwood team. Suitable for the more elevated paces and a knowledge of dressage

Max
(Cob)

Blossom
(Orlov Trotter x Cob)

Max is a big handsome cob whose only downfall is his lack of bravery, he would much rather hack out with his friends than alone! You may have heard horses described as an armchair ride ... Max is more like a sofa, anyone would be happy to sit on him all day.

At 16.1hh she is a suitable mount for larger riders. She has a talent for jumping and enjoys a day out at local shows or hunting.

Skye
(Highland x Thoroughbred)

What a smart horse! An excellent all-rounder who is very popular with adults and children. She has a patient understanding nature and a good work attitude. She is able to give confidence to the most nervous, novice rider and still give a good ride to the more experienced partner.

Quick witted, intelligent and eager to please. Her positive approach to the job in hand will inspire the most negative rider to 'have a go', whether it is dressage, jumping, cross-country or endurance riding. Her enthusiasm is infectious.

Little Dylan
(Cob)

Farrier & Farmer
(Dartmoors)

A super smart cob who excels in school work. A firm favourite with all who ride him, suitable for children and small adults, he will give confidence to the nervous rider. He is anyone's ride - a treasure.

These two ponies have to be described together. Half-brothers, born in Widecombe Dartmoor within two days of each other - they have never been separated. They have quite different temperaments. Farrier is cheeky and an excellent jumper while Farmer enjoys a quiet life and likes to be a 'good boy.' Farrier and Farmer enjoy carriage driving as a pair So look out for these delightful ponies trotting around the countryside.

Hansel & Gretel
(Haflingers)

Another two ponies who need to be described together. They came from Belgium where they had been driven as a pair showing tourists the city. They now are super riding ponies, a pair of blonde bombshells with a definite 'wow' factor.

Meadow
 

Custard
(Haflinger x Welsh)

A pretty pony who has proved to be a safe caring ride for children and adults. She was at Beechwood as a livery and has now joined the riding school to become one of the 'sunshine ponies'.

He is a 'cheeky chappy', with a pretty face and almost a mischievous grin. He loves to jump (especially cross-country) and enjoys his days out at the Hunter Trials and Showjumping. A very capable good fun pony.

Viking
(Haflinger)
 

Tinkerbelle
(Welsh)

He also came from Belgium and, although he is not related to Hansel and Gretel, they are firm friends known collectively as 'The Sunshine Ponies.' He has the most fantastic friendly personality and is a pleasure to ride. Worth his weight in gold! He has been out on loan to Emma who has jumped, hacked and drag-hunted him and assures us he enjoys everything they do together.

Like her namesake a tiny little pony so suitable for our teeny riders. She will give confidence to children just off the lead rein and is a wonderful addition to our selection of ponies.
