Our Horses and Ponies
We are really lucky at STE to have a fabulous range of horses and ponies for our clients to learn with and gain experience from. They have all come from private homes and are very kindly loaned to us by their owners. Our four-legged friends are described below from smallest to tallest.

TwinkleTwinkle is a very cute little pony with his own Teddy bear! DOB — 1989 |

SonnySonny was sadly outgrown by his previous riders and was looking after a young pony when he came to us. He looks brilliant for his age and has the most wonderful temperament, also being very forgiving to his riders. Due to his size, Sonny mostly participates in junior beginner and novice level lessons, but because of his age he doesn’t tend to do much canter or jumping. DOB — 1996 |

EllieEllie is an absolute gem to have on the yard and loves a good chat! She comes to STE for a quieter life after a busy career, having jumped over 1m in her younger years! |

TangoThis handsome chap was a Pony Club competition pony for a long time before coming to STE. He has taken several riders through the ranks and is forgiving to the less experienced or more nervous rider but is fabulous at teaching correct aids, although he is a bit cheeky at times too. Tango loves all kind of lessons, but particularly enjoys being hacked! DOB — 2001 |

ArnieHandsome Arnie is a lovely, well-schooled and charming pony. He has beautiful paces and looks after his riders as he takes them from the basics through to the more advanced lessons.

He has an established medium trot, an onward bound canter and has successfully competed with his owner in a range of disciplines at local riding club level, including showing, dressage, jumping and Le Trec. He has attended a range of training clinics, including cross country and horse agility and has also proved himself to be a very capable showjumper. DOB — 2007 |
SkySky is a sweet mare with a lively attitude. Having done Pony Club and Riding Club activities with her owner, she’s a great addition to the STE team. While preferring her jumping to dressage, Sky will try her hand at anything and will teach her riders the benefit of balance and correct aids. Kindly loaned to us by Jane Ewer DOB — 2012 |
