Meet the Horses

There are 30 well-schooled horses and ponies at Allendale suitable for all ages and abilities. Please note, this is just a small selection of our horses - we have horses to suit all standards. Descriptions have been contributed by members of Allendale Rangers.

ceryn

Ceryn
Ceryn is a stunning black 14hh welsh cob. She has the sweetest temperament I have ever come across in a horse. At only 7 years old she has proved a very intelligent pony – well most of the times anyway. She loves carrots and apples but unfortunately cannot eat sugar as she is allergic. (Caty, aged 16)

charisma 

Charisma
Charisma is a 16hh beautiful bay gelding. Currently he’s learning to jump and hopefully he will start going to a lot of shows very soon. He has a great attitude and a wonderful personality. (Ollie, aged 16)

Charisma is my favourite horse. He is 7 and his birthday is on the 6th June. He came to Allendale when he was 6 months old. He’s nice to pat and lovely to groom. (Olivia, aged 12)

 gemma

Gemma
Gemma is my favourite pony because she’s very cute and she does everything I tell her. She is my best friend and is always there for me. She also loves being ridden. She is 12hh, 16 years old and grey. (Katie, aged 11) 

Hal 

Hal
Hal is 6 years old and 14.1hh. He is really greedy when it comes to feed time. Hal is a monkey because he always gets his leg caught in his rope. He is light bay with black socks. I love him. (Paige, aged 11)

Harley 

Harley
Harley is the horse I love the most because he looks handsome and he is special. Harley is really strong willed. He loves going out on hacks but not so much lessons. He is always there for me and loves eating his feed. He loves carrots and apples. He is 15 years old, 14.2hh and bay. (Chaise, aged 11)

Joey 

Joey
Joey is 13 years old and 13.1hh. I like him because he is a monkey. He hates the vet which is very funny. He is a little fleabitten grey and that’s why I love him. (Clarrisa, aged 11)

Manu 

Manu
Manu is a 16.1hh dark bay very handsome Irish Draft x Thoroughbred. He is a big gentle giant and one of the nicest horses in the yard. We’ve improved together and he has taught me a lot. He is very laid back and is loved by everyone. He is truly a BFG. (Gemma, aged 16)

Molly 

Molly
Molly is a 14hh fell pony. She is my favourite because of her personality. She reminds me of myself in so many ways, she loves her food and is very independent. She’s a great little jumper and has a funny cheeky side. (Molly, aged 14)

Polo 

Polo
Polo is a 15hh Anglo Arab. He is my favourite horse because he isn’t boring and has character. He is grumpy most of the time but he is a gem to ride. He has taught so many people how to ride. Because I am used to him I get to see his kind and nice side, which he doesn’t show very often. I love everything about him – good and bad. (Rosie, aged 14).

rene

Rene
Rene is my favourite horse because he has a good nature. (Siobhan, aged 8).
