Edee Edee
14.3hh Irish Bay Mare
D.O.B. 2002

D.O.B. 2002
Charlie came to East Lodge Farm in the summer of 2007.  He is still young for his age although his confidence is improving all the time.  He is excitable and keen!  But a positive attitude makes for a happy pony!  He does very well with advanced riders and keeps us on our toes in the lead rein lessons!

10.3hh Grey Welsh Section A Gelding
D.O.B. 1998
Tommy joined the school in spring 2008.  He is a great lead rein pony.  His trot is very forward going so be prepared, but he doesn’t break into canter unless you ask him too!  Tommy also keeps up in the more advanced lessons.  He has a surprisingly big jump in him!

Blue Blue
16hh Blue Roan Gelding
D.O.B. 1999
Blue was bought from Exmoor as a three year old and was Rebecca’s horse in his early times at East Lodge Farm.  He has done lots of hunting and endurance work.  He is 100% in all ways and is a real gentleman. Blue can give a cheeky screech when going into canter or a jump but that is because he is enjoying himself!  He is safe enough for anyone to learn on but make sure you do not pull him in the mouth as he is very sensitive.  When tacking up, make sure you fasten the girth very gradually, or he may nip you as he is sensitive here also.
Tack:
Snaffle Bridle with hunting breastplate and running martingale.
General Purpose Wintec Saddle. Thick Sheepskin or Polypad numnah. Sheepskin girth sleeve. Boots all round for competition or clinics.

Rainbow is a good all-rounder.  A very clever pony that particularly loves hacking and Show Jumping, hence always popular at our Show Jumping competitions because he guarantees the ribbons! Rainbow can be sensitive when having his girth tightened so make sure you do it gradually or you may get nipped!  Rainbow may need grass reins with smaller riders but these must be fitted with care and not worn for long periods of time.

Brendan Brendan
16hh Piebald Cob Gelding
D.O.B. 2002
Believe it or not, Brendan is actually Amber’s son!  Amber was rescued from a sale by Mrs White when she had Brendan as a tiny foal at foot. The sale wanted to separate the mare and foal to sell them separately, but Mrs White believing that the foal was too young to be separated from his mother bought both of them to keep them together for a bit longer, giving Brendan a better start in life!  A few months later Amber gave birth to Aura – but that’s another story!  Amber came to work in the riding school and Brendan was allowed to grow up with the other foals at East Lodge Farm. Brendan was backed and broken at East Lodge and lots of the staff have played a part in his early education.  He is incredibly sweet natured and is an asset to the riding school.
