First Snow Day

Winter Is Here

Misty morning

Winter is here. The days are getting short and cold. We have had our share of wet and windy weather too, but the clear, crisp winter days of Dingle make up for it. We are open all year round, and weather permitting are always happy to see visitors who would like to go riding. It is quieter at this time of year though, so it is also a nice time for some of the horses to go off on their holidays and relax after a busy summer. They will take it in turns to have a couple of weeks/months off in the fields over the winter.

Rosie

Rosie is a 16.1hh, registered Appaloosa mare, although you may not believe it from the picture! Born 2004 and backed at the yard in 2008, she is coming into her own as a brilliant trekking horse. She has a big stride with a lot of movement. As you can also see from the picture she loves the beach and the water.

Smokey

Smokey is a 16hh sportshorse grey mare, born 1997. Always glad to go on the mountain trek, she is great for beginners and has a fair turn of speed on the canter track for experienced riders.
