Meet Our Ponies
I think everyone will agree, the children especially, that the real heroes are our ponies.
All the ponies are calm, quiet, patient and specially trained. Their docile manner and subdued affection enable their young riders to gain confidence, build relationships and improve physical abilities. Standing quietly being groomed, cuddled, talked to, and going for walks or rides build trust for both ponies and their special friends.
Whilst all display perfect manners, affection and gentleness around the children, each pony has its own lovable character and individuality. Don’t we all? So let us introduce you to our four-legged heroes and give you a little insight into their personalities.
Beau
I’m Piebald which means I’m black and white, but I have swirls of grey as well, my name is Beau. I love snacks, chatting and more snacks.
Alfie
Hello! My name is Alfie. I am a cob pony, with four white socks. I love being groomed and being out in the woods. I like to play with Beau in the field during our “leisure hours.”
Rosa
Hello, I’m Rosa. I’m a lot smaller than some of the other ponies. I have four white socks, but the rest of me is dark grey. I like getting my ears scratched.
Lucy
My name is Lucy and I love having my nose stroked. Chat to me in a very quiet voice and I will listen, especially if you give me compliments. I’m called a Skewbald because I am brown and white.
Bella
Hello, I’m Bella and I just love cuddles. I’m a black pony, but I do have white socks. I like trotting, so my socks don’t stay white for very long.
Piper
I might be little but I have a great personality. My name is Piper and as you can see, I’m black with a white nose and socks.
Say Cheese!
Happy children make for happy ponies and everyone has a Monday morning smile at Forres, Nairn & District RDA.
