FIVE LOVELY EXPPERIENCED HORSES
TO HELP MAKE YOUR SHORT BREAK A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES
WE HAVE TRAINED ALL OUR HORSES OURSELVES, AND THEY LISTEN TO BOTH HAND
AND VOICE COMMANDS
Ride
with us on Exmoor all through the year at Exmoor Owl and Hawk
Centre for some of the best horse riding on Exmoor, over moors,
woodlands, combes and rivers. We believe this wonderful landscape
offers some of the best riding country in the world, with ever
changing scenery through the seasons, on quality riding horses
to suit all riders. Ours are not trekking horses, and give an
excellent hack out across the Exmoor countryside!
Have a short
preview of our horses and stables here today........

Dandy - 17hh
Irish Draught x Thoroughbred
- Dandy is now 16 years
of age, and settled into a reliable and enjoyable ride.
He is strong and a good weight carrier, and really enjoys
his rides. His favourite companion is Sirrus, but equally
rises to the challenge of riding out with both Rosie (the
dominant mare) Archie, or Paps our youngster. Dandy is often
referred to as a real gentleman!

Rosie
- 15.1hh Section D Welsh Cob
- Our
oldest horse who knows her position as lead horse! She
knows only too well how to keep the others in rank. She
has excellent conformation, making her a very comfortable
and safe ride, and willing to keep up with the bigger guys.
A lot of fun for experienced teenages and ladies! Rosie
is very much the boss of the yard, and is a good teacher for
both riders and horses!

Sirrus-15.3hh
Thoroughbred x ID/Welsh Pony -
Sirrus and Dandy have been companions since birth, and arrived
with us at 9mths old. Sirrus is a very good natured,
very responsive lady, and a pleasure to ride at all times.
Ideal for experienced riders, and can travel the ground at
great speed at times! A really lovely horse. Sirrus
has recently been given a bitless bridle, and she is even
more gentle than before - a truly friendly kind lady

Archie -
16.3hh Irish Sports Horse
At
9years of age, a delightful ride for experienced riders, Archie
has many skills to learn, but is willing, and is a real star!
We all love him and his gentle nature, and sometimes he has
a REAL turn of speed. His jumping skills are second to none
with his long legs, and clears over 4ft with ease (but not
on our rides out!). Around the farm Archie is like a naughtly
school kid, and plays with everything - gate catches, licks
the pigs, steals hair bands, talks to the shetlands, and gets
into daily mischief! a rascal.

Aberaeron
Papoose - 16hh Welsh Part-bred coloured horse - At
6 years of age Paps joined our group of horses in 2010 and is
finding his hooves - he has recently learnt many lessons on behaviour
from Rosie, and is riding well in his dressage lessons.. He has
a gentle nature, and makes a good lead horse and good follower.
His manners are impeccable, and he is learning to take on the
responsibility of leading the ride, with its many challenges and
hedge monsters.
