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.
Sidan
Sidan is a lovely pony who has been on the circuit as a showing pony. She has flashy movements and a burst of speed if the rider asks for it, but has a lovely temperament and is amazing with our younger riders.
