The Eriskay Pony


The Eriskay is long legged and has a dense, waterproof coat. There is little feathering on the back of the legs. It is an easy going and can be used for trail riding, jumping, and driving. It is technically one of the United Kingdom's native ponies. The foals are born black or bay but eventually turn gray as they mature. They are normally 12 to 13 hands tall.

Love to Ride,

Show Competition


On Sunday ( April 18th) there is a Horse Jumping Show at the Hpa fields. So Skye and I are entering in it. Ooh it will be lots of fun. I can't wait. We will jump logs in a field called the Taj fields. I am kind of nervous but totally excited.

The Cleveland Bay


The Cleveland Bay is an elegant, full-bodied horse. It is fancy enough to be a carriage horse, but people can also ride them. These horses are quite athletic and some have long sweeping gaits, but some are more upright in their strides. The horses are very sturdy and are easy keepers. They are almost always dark bay with back mane, tail, and legs. Sometimes a chestnut can be seen.
