Our Horses and Ponies

Twinkle

Twinkle is a very cute little pony with his own Teddy bear!
He is a lively little character who looks wonderful for his age! We hope our clients learn a lot from him as he loves his work, and has done a bit of everything throughout his years.

Sonny

Sonny 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.

Ellie 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!
She loves her work and takes care of her riders.

Tango

This 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!
Tango is owned by STE

Mickey

Mickey is an amazing pony, having done all types of Pony Club activities in his time. He has a lovely long, forward stride and will adapt to the level of the rider with endless patience. He’s a superstar.
He unfortunately only has one eye which makes him easy to spot on the yard but it does mean he needs to be approached carefully.

He has competed at British Dressage Medium level, has been successful in 90cm and 1m jumping and eventing, both for Pony Club and NSEA, where he has been at the National Championships for all 3 disciplines over several years. He is now enjoying the lovely arena at STE and able to teach his pupils correct aids, all lateral work, and a degree of collection, as well as thoroughly enjoying his jumping.

Arnie

Handsome 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. Although he hasn’t done much before coming to STE, he is proving to be great in the lessons, including jumping!
He teaches his riders to have a sensitive feel and is a good asset to STE in both lessons and Pony Days.
