Big Billy

Hi my name is Big Billy, I am a 15hh bay cob. I like teaching the more experienced riders as I am very bouncy. I sometimes pull grumpy faces but I’m really a softy. When I am not being ridden love spending time with my friends grooming each other.

Prince

Hi my name is Prince, I am a 16hh bay gelding, I have a white blaze down my face & 4 white socks. I am a big chap so I tend to be ridden by the adults. I am forward going & love to jump. When I am not being ridden I love spending time with the smaller ponies, I especially like the Dartmoor’s, they are so cute.

Elliot

Hi my name is Elliot, I am a 12hh Dartmoor pony. I have lived at Longfield all my life as I was born here. When I was younger I went to the Great Yorkshire show & got a 3rd place. I am a cheeky chap who loves teaching little girls & boys to ride. When I am not being ridden I love to spend the days in the field with my little brother Vinny.

Bailey

Hi my name is Bailey. I am a 14.2hh black cob, I have 4 white socks & a stripe down my face. I enjoy teaching all riders, but I especially like jumping. When I am not being ridden I love spending time with my friend Rambo.

Paint

Hi my name is Paint, I am a 12hh Dartmoor pony, I used to be a broodmare before joining the school. You might have seen my two boys Elliot & Vinny in the school. I like teaching the younger boys & girls to ride, especially the ones who have never ridden before. When I’m not being ridden I like spending time with my friends in the field.

Vinny

Hi my name is Vinny, I am a 12hh Dartmoor pony. I have lived at Longfield all my life as I was born here. I am not as cheeky as my big brother Elliot, I like teaching the more confident boys & girls as I am a little speedier than Elliot. When I am not being ridden I love to spend the days in the field with my big brother Elliot eating grass.

Little Billy

Hi my name is Little Billy, I am a 12.2hh grey pony. I like teaching boys & girls to ride. When I am not being ridden I love eating & rolling in the mud!

Rambo

Hi my name is Rambo. I am a 15.2hh piebald gelding. I like to teach all types of rider, however I am a little big for some. I am quite forward going & love to jump. When I am not being ridden I like to eat (as you can tell by the size of my belly).

Morgan

Hi my name is Morgan, I am a 15hh welsh section D. I came to Longfield a few years ago on loan as my mummy went to university. I like teaching all levels of riders as I am very patient. When I am not being ridden I like spending time with my friends.

Bonnie

My name is Bonnie I am a 14.2 piebald cob. I have come to live at Longfield on loan as my Mummy is now a school teacher so doesn’t have enough time to ride me. I have made friends with Paint, she is so lovely we can often be seen grazing together in the field. I like to teach the older more experienced riders as I am quite forward  going.  Before I came to join the riding school I did a lot of competitions which I really enjoyed.

  • Having been a contented 'happy hacker' for many years I had developed several bad habits and needed some professional input... What a find Longfield Equestrian Centre has been! Well cared for, happy contented horses, great facilities and a truly wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. My instructor Kate has been superb. Taking time to understand what i want from the lessons, she has a great way of explaining things, is happy to answer any questions and has worked with me to improve my riding position and skills. I would not hesitate in recommending Longfield Eqestrian Centre to anyone.
