THIS IS JUST A SELECTION OF OUR EQUINE TEAM- WE CURRENTLY HAVE 10 HORSES AND PONIES AT GREENWAYS FOR CLIENTS TO RIDE!
Bertie- 13.2hh Welsh X Pony. 14 years old. Bertie has been a slow burner and it has taken him a long time to get used to life as a riding school pony. He is now an awesome pony who everyone enjoys riding; he excels in gymkhanas and is a dressage superstar in the making!
Comet- 16.1hh ISH. 22 years old. Comet has been there, done that and got many T-shirts to prove it! A great allrounder with a particular love of hacking. Comet is a sensible, steady ride. He'd much prefer to be out of the arena on a hack or the XC course but will look after (if not test you!) in the arena too- but don't be fooled, he knows exactly what to do if you can push the right buttons!
William- 17.3hh ISH. 20 years old. William is a very popular boy with our adult and teenage riders. He is a true gentle giant, and will turn his hoof to anything: flatwork, hacking, or jumping. Due to injury William is no longer able to jump but he still loves his hacking and schoolwork!
Noodles- 14hh Cob type. 10 years old. Noodles arrived at Greenways in September 2020. Although he is still quite green and learning the ropes of being a riding school pony, he is super chilled out and a lovely boy to have around. His little face cannot help but bring a smile to others!
Marmite- 14hh Cob X. 13 years old. Marmite has been with Sally, the owner, since he was 24hrs old, and he does sometimes forget that he is a pony and not a human! He's come on a lot in his education and training in the last year and is proving to be a useful riding school pony. *Due to some ongoing health and training issues, we decided to take Marmite out of the riding school; he is still at Greenways enjoying a less stressful way of life*
Pepper- 14.2hh Cob. 22 years old. Pepper is the perfect armchair ride and great for beginners and nervous riders as she takes life at her own steady pace. Pepper is often the first horse that many of our clients will ride as she is great for lunge lessons due to her easygoing nature. She also loves taking clients hacking.
Taisy- 15hh Connemara. 16 yrs old. Taisy is our "unicorn pony". Everybody (and we mean everybody!) loves him, making him 100% our most popular team member. A great confidence giver and will turn his hooves to anything! So far Taisy has been involved in flatwork, dressage, XC, horseball, Polocrosse, modelling (for a well-known pony magazine...), hunter trials- you name it, he'll give it a go!
Skye- 16hh ISH. Skye is the newest member of the Greenways team. She arrived in late March 2022 and came over on the ferry from the Isle of Wight. Skye is a fantastic all rounder. She enjoys her work and is very adaptable for different levels of rider who is happy to take it steady or go up a gear when asked.
Pixie- 14.3hh. Irish X Cob. 18yrs old. Pixie is a more advanced ride and loves her jumping, XC and hacking. She joined our family in 2015 along with Bertie. Pixie has also been great fun to play horseball and polocrosse on. She & Taisy have had good successes in Pairs Hunter Trials.
Charlie- 13.2hh Pony Cob. 22yrs old.Charlie is one of our oldest and dearest members of the Greenways family. He is a great character and LOVES his jumping, hacking and gymkhanas. He has taught so many children to ride over the years, and always gives them a great ride and builds their confidence.
Lenny- 13yrs old, Patterdale Terrier. Lenny is of course, not an equine at all, but our faithful yard dog who absolutely LOVES cuddles and hates missing out on any of the activities going on around the yard. His favourite days are farrier day (lots of hoof to eat- yum!) and vet days as he gets to play with his best mate, Frank. If you don't see him out & about it is because he can get a little overwhelmed with excitement!
