YOB: 2002
Gender: Gelding
Colour:  Black
Breed: Irish Sports Pony

Suitably named, this lovely, quality pony has British Show Jumping winnings and has proved the perfect match for sisters Ella & Hannah.  On Elite Livery he can also be ridden by our better riding school pupils to help keep him exercised.

Amorio

Status : Working Livery

Height: 16.0hh
YOB: 2006
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Iron Grey
Breed: PRE – Pure Bred Graded Spanish Horse (Andalusian)
Owner: The Yeomans’ Family

Bred at Lavant House Stables from the Spanish parents of Kalia and Julepe, Amorio has always been a wonderful character right from birth. He also has the uncanny knack of being good at whatever he is asked to do, constantly surprising us with the wonderful results, not least the pleasure he is now providing to his new owners, the Yeomans.  As a highly affectionate horse, Amorio could not have found himself placed with a more appreciative family!

As a late developer, Amorio grew a full hand in his fifth year, at the same time turning into a seriously handsome horse and proving his youth, which was spent jumping in and out of fields, was not misspent as he quite clearly has his father’s talent for jumping!

Beau

Status: Elite Livery

Height: 16 hh
YOB: 1998
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Black
Breed: Trakehnner x Irish
Owner: Mr Mark Pennycook

One of our Elite Liveries, Beau occasionally joins in a lesson in the arena or a hack when we need to help keep him fit for his owner Mark.  Stunning to look at, Beau also has a lovely, equable temperament until it comes to jumping or hacking-out and then he is like a rocket and leaves everyone in his wake!

An extremely popular horse with our more advanced clients as well as our staff, Mark has now started hunting Beau which has been one of Mark’s major ambitions since taking up horse-riding for the first time during 2011.

Bertrum

Status: Riding School/Perfect Partners

Height: 16.3 hh
YOB: 1990
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Breed: 7/8ths TB
Owner: Sarah Boote

Bertrum, officially called “Bertie Killingshurst”, is a horse born in the “purple” with two parents that have exceptional records for producing offspring that compete at the very highest echelons in Eventing.

To give you an idea, his half-brother (from the same sire) Midnight Monarch ridden by Andrew Hoy, won Badminton 2006 whilst his other half-brother from the same dam (much more unusual) Lord Killingshurst ridden by Andrew Nicholson, came second.

Bertrum may have showed all the promise but he never made the grade and his patient owner who had bought him as a two year old permanently loaned Bertrum to us in 2003.   Thereafter our Lorna evented him for a few years before realising that Bert only wanted a peaceful life and is happiest when allowed to potter around at Lavant!

Dique

Status: Working Livery

Height: 16.2 hh
DOB: 8.4.01
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Grey
Breed: Pure Bred Graded Spanish Horse (Andalusian)
Owners: Ella Guimaraens

Now this is an interesting one. With the official Spanish name of Dique (pronounced DK) he was an expensive import from Spain as an un-backed three year old stallion, purchased with the intention of using him as a breeding stallion with our Spanish stock.

Unfortunately as a stallion he proved to be lethal on the ground regardless of whether this was with other horses or people. Within a month of arrival he escaped from his field and broke Julepe’s jaw and that was by far the final straw – Dique was as a consequence promptly sent to the vets for a gender change operation!

He is typical of the Spanish horse in that he loves to be doing something and ideally all of the time.  Consequently he has been competed seriously in dressage, show jumping and One Day Events, as well as successfully hunted for several seasons.  In 2011 he was lucky to find Ella Guimaraens as his owner – much deserved for this wonderful horse who does it all and is always willing to please.

Jigsaw

Status: Working Livery

Height: 14.3 hh
YOB: 1996
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Skewbald (brown and white)
Breed: Irish Cob
Owner: Phoebe Goodale

Jigsaw is of the useful size that can carry an adult or a child.  With his kind and gentle nature he has successfully introduced many people to the art of horse riding and is always a popular too as a first horse for our livery clients.

Phoebe sensibly snapped Jigsaw up a couple of years back, and has as a consequence never looked back since – a special small horse who will always, and has proven to be, worth his weight in gold!

Julepe

Status: Elite Livery

Height: 16.1 hh
YOB: 1998
Gender: Stallion
Colour: Grey
Breed: PRE – Pure-Bred Graded Spanish Horse (Andalusian)
Owner: Mrs Caroline Pattison

The horse that started it all.  Will there ever be another horse to replace Julepe or of his equal?

As our very first Andalusian horse, purchased by the owner of LHS during her first exploit to Spain in 2001, he was the reward of a childhood dream after a terrible year of cancer with her young son.  Bought for a bit of light-relief, he proved to be much more than we bargained for and has taken many people to top placings in all of the primary equestrian disciplines, setting them on the road to their further successes. 

He may be now in semi-retirement but he continues to weave his magic by helping his owner Caroline to achieve her aims and a bit more beyond (as is his way!) whilst also continuing to compete successfully at the lower levels, go hunting, and just about everything else because this is one very multi-talented horse – so typical of the breed we have since discovered.

Limerick

Status:  Working Livery

Height:  15.1 hh
YOB: 2004
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Breed: 1/2 Irish Draught & 1/2 Thoroughbred
Owners: Olivia Linares & Georgia Jones

Limerick, otherwise known as “Limmy” is a classically handsome Irish gelding belonging to Olivia, and whom we are also seeking another half-sharer for on our loan scheme.

Straightforward, Limmy also has something about him that makes him a little cheeky and he can’t resist gently testing people out, which is purely without any malice of course!  An intriguing horse who is also a lot of fun.

Louis

Status:  Elite Livery

Height:  16.3 hh
YOB: 1999
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Dark Brown
Breed: English Thoroughbred
Owner: Mrs Anna Walls

Louis is our “old man” of Lavant, although if you spied him in the field with his herd members you might be forgiven for dropping the “old”!  The result is Louis is constantly getting himself into trouble with his non-existant survival instinct – proven by the fact that he is a primary part of the active (horse) gang in his field who dictate how everyone else is going to behave!

Much loved by his owner Anna, Louis is our first serious Retirement Livery – something we have realised we are probably pretty good at supplying because looking after older horses definitely requires extra skilsl and expertise, especially when these retirees think they are a teenager!

Pepper

Status: Staff Livery

Height: 16.3hh
YOB: 2007
Gender: Gelding
Colour:  Iron Grey
Breed: Irish Sports Horse
Owner: Amelia Thomson

Our great Irish Horse Dealer Gerty Tynan picked Pepper for Lucy Thomson’s daughter Amelia when asked to find her something to eventually event. 

When Pepper arrived with us early in 2011 (alongside Hugh) he looked rather bedraggled and sorry for himself and a mere 15.2 hh.  However even at this initial introduction Pepper had what we call ”the look of lions” about him, which means he had presence and poise – hardly surprising as he is from the famous Irish stallion Sea Crest line. 

Six months later Pepper had grown at least another six inches and stood just shy of 17 hh – the tallest horse at Lavant definitely!  Just about sat on when he arrived, four months later he stated affiliated eventing and with his kind and generous nature has consistently improved his performance regardless of whatever he is asked to do.  A big character who is ruled by his stomach, Pepper is often spied untying himself and wandering from stall to stall in the yard in order to select the best haylage net to pick from!

Like a big teenage boy, Pepper is forever hungry and bumping into things!

Phoenix

Status: Staff Livery

Height: 16hh
YOB: 2005
Gender: Mare
Colour: Chestnut
Breed: Irish x Warmblood
Owner: Steph Guest

Steph has owned Phoenix since she was foal and on coming to work for us full-time she jumped at the chance to bring her mare here too. 

It is obviously a lot easier for staff to have their horses in their workplace, but also of benefit are the range of training facilities and expert help available whenever required. 

Quinn

The "handsome boy"!

Status: Staff Livery

Height:  16.2 hh
YOB:  2007
Gender:  Gelding
Colour:  Dark Brown
Breed:  Irish Sports Horses (Irish x Selle Francais)
Owner:  Amelia Thomson

Quinn was an unexpected bonus when we travelled up to the mid-country in the autumn of 2011 to look at an event horse with form to help Amelia gain more experience in this discipline.  Having finally got to the location we learned from the owner of the “in-form” event horse that he had misbehaved with another young potential purchaser that morning and she was not prepared to sell him to Amelia.  

So to make use of the journey we opted to view the seller’s youngstock instead, which was initially carried out in a rather desultory manner because another young and inexperienced horse was not what we were looking for.  The fourth horse pulled out for our inspection was Quinn and rather like love at first sight, sometimes you just know instantly this is the one.   Unsure after seeing him first ridden as he was a bit “fiesty” as Amelia called it, this opinion was swiftly changed on seeing him jump and his fate with us was sealed the minute she sat on Quinn - this was a match made in heaven. 

The icing on the cake with this visit was the misbehaving experienced event horse happened to be Salt who I had no intention of leaving behind, he is SO “my type” of horse, even though Amelia was less impressed.   So we actually ended up with both horses for the originally cost of Salt – before he misbehaved on the day of our eventful visit (forgive the pun).

Quinn’s competition name has been changed to Mr Google to go with Dr Pepper (as in Pepper – Amelia’s other young horse) and probably should have been called Mr Nosey – he wants to know about everything and anything going on around him.  He also has the most amazingly trainable temperament, so much so that when I first worked him myself I quipped that if he were a human I would employ him like a shot, so amazing is his work ethic.

Aimed at 2012 BE Training and Intro classes we will also definitely be campaigning this lovely young horse in the prestigious Burghley Young Event Horse Series.  And as they say: “watch this space”!

Robbie

Status:  Elite Livery

Height: 16.2hh
YOB: 2006
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Breed: Irish Sports Horse
Owner: Hayley Horsman

This lovely, quality young horse is a fitting replacement for the exceptional Connemara pony Rory who taught Hayley so much along the way.  As a typical Irish Sports Horse Robbie really knows how to jump and is an exciting project for Hayley to produce along with the support of her mother Claire who is herself an experienced equestrian.

Roma

Status: Pony Pals

Height: 15.3 hh
YOB:  2002
Gender: Mare
Colour: Grey
Breed: PRE – Pure Bred Graded Spanish Horse (Andalusian)
Owner: Nathalie Hyman

Roma came to us as a bit of an afterthought when we were seeking a top quality Iberian brood mare from Spain through the highly respected Spanish Horse Agent Miriam Frenk.

The brood mare, Kalia, duly arrived with Sacristana (Saucy) at foot, and after viewing video footage, so did the yearling Romantica from the same well known Spanish Horse Stud. 

From the day she arrived Roma has supported the well known equestrian philosophy that “an exceptional mare is better than any gelding”.  For example, during her formative years Roma was the star pupil of  southern Natural Horsemanship displays under the tutelege of the renowned NH trainer, Rio Barrett. 

Once backed and being ridden Roma has consistently proven to be popular with all abilities of rider – probably because she just does it all.  Whether you want to do dressage, show jumping, eventing, hunt, sponsored rides, etc. or just have a jolly good friend, Roma will always make a serious effort to fit the bill.

Roo

Status: Elite Livery

Height: 15.2 hh
YOB: 2001
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Breed: Thoroughbred x Irish Draught
Owner: Mrs Claire Pennycook

Dear Roo arrived with Fraser and both of these horses have proven to be absolutely irreplaceable.  90% of horse-owners in this country would give their eye-teeth for a Roo (or a Fraser for that matter) because they can do anything, are 100% straightforward to ride, are also lovely on the eye and even lovelier to have around even if just as a friend!  Such a pity we don’t know how they are bred otherwise I am sure LHS would be hot-footing it out to Ireland to buy both parents!

Salt

Status: Staff Livery

Height:  16.3 hh
YOB:  2005
Gender:  Gelding
Colour:  Iron Grey
Breed:  Irish Sports Horse (Irish x Warmblood)
Owner:  Amelia Thomson

During the autumn of 2011 we travelled up to just south of Birmingham to look at an event horse with a good solid competition background behind him for Amelia to gain some experience on to help her with her younger horse Pepper.  On arrival at the seller’s property, having seen this magnificent horse unattended in his stable, we were then disappointed to learn the horse had misbehaved with another teenage purchaser that morning and the owner was no longer happy to sell him to another young person.

This horse was Salt and he was just “my type”, sensitive and intelligent with great conformation and a good active hind leg, he is also extremely well bred with his dam being from the famous and highly influential Irish show jumping stallion Cruising  and his sire was the hugely successful German dressage stallion Sunny Boy – quite definitely a horse bred “in the purple”.

So Amelia got chucked up on him any way, and whilst she remained unimpressed, I was not going to leave this lovely horse behind.   What was initially going to be a wasted visit turned into a highly rewarding one as we also bought the lovely young four year old, Quinn from the same seller and managing to get both horses pretty much for the price of Salt before his “mishap”. 

If you think he looks a bit like Pepper – you’re right – they share the same Irish grand sire: Sea Crest.

Saucy

Status: Staff Horse

Height: 16.1 hh
YOB: 2003
Gender: Mare
Colour: Roan Grey
Breed: PRE – Pure Bred Graded Spanish Horse (Andalusian)
Owner: Jess Callander

Saucy came over to us from Spain as a foal at foot to Kalia and has over the past few years bred us two super Spanish foals as well as competently got on with her ridden work.

Typical of this breed, Saucy is multi-talented and is able to perform successfully in any type of equestrian discipline, which is why she remains with us as a staff-owned horse with Jess.

Silver

Status: Working Livery

Height: 14.3 hh
YOB: 2005
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Dapple Grey
Breed: Connemara
Owner: Mrs Jacqui King

This stocky, friendly pony is the ideal “family pony” because anyone and everyone can ride him.  Small enough for a child but strong enough to carry a reasonably sized adult, Silver is as straight forward as they come.  Silver hacks out safely, jumps all types of fences including cross country, is schooled on the flat and regularly competes in all types of Pony Club activities.  Couple this with his lovely nature and ease to handle on the ground, he really is an ideal first or second pony/horse. 

Smithy

Status: Elite Livery

Height: 16.1 hh
YOB: 1996
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Breed: 7/8ths Thoroughbred
Owner: Mrs Sandra Young

Dear Smithy is the much loved horse of our livery Sandra.  When he first came he seemed to skip through one injury or accident to another, which Sandra patiently worked with to bring him back to full health.  Fingers-crossed, after the first year this spate of injuries has ceased and Sandra is now fully enjoying everything Smithy has to offer – this very handsome and kind horse who is the perfect gentleman and certainly the perfect first horse for Sandra.

Toddy

Status:  Staff Livery

Height:  16 hh
YOB: 1978
Gender: Mare
Colour: Chestnut
Breed: Thoroughbred x Hanoverian
Owner: Ms Nicola Collins

There is no mistake with the horse’s year of birth given above – this is one incredibly old mare, who is kept healthily alive by the dedicated care of Nicola combined with the help of Toddy’s previous owner Mrs Karen Jones and her daughter Georgia.

Toddy is  from one of the first “warm-blood” stallions to stand in this country, the Duellist line, and Karen has always been a “local” whilst Toddy arrived back in this area from Berkshire when Nicola relocated to us to become our General Manager in 2007.  This resulted in Karen hot-footing it to our door to see her previous horse – and she has stayed ever since! 

Travis

Status: Working Livery

Height:  15.2 hh
YOB:  2003
Gender: Gelding
Colour: White-grey (flea-bitten)
Breed: Connemara
Owner: Ceilidh Wands/Jenny Lane

It feels as though Travis has been with us forever such is his popularity, which is why it is not surprising that when his long-term owner Ceilidh thought it was best to sell him when she was off to Uni, she then changed her mind when it came to the crunch – and crunch it was with the scrum to buy this horse!  So thankfully Ceilidh remains a regular attendee at Lavant House Stables.

A lovely looking and larger version of the Connemara, Travis is incredibly kind and willingly does whatever is asked of him, which is no doubt why he earns himself so many affectionate fans.

Venus

Status:  Staff Livery

Height: 15.2 hh
YOB: 2002
Gender: Mare
Colour: Grey (White)
Breed: PRE – Pure Bred Graded Spanish Horse (Andalusian)
Owner: Jade Horspool

Our first Spanish brood mare Kalia arrived with us from Spain in foal with Venus, who’s father is from a famous historic breeding line of Andalusian dressage horses.  Born at the stables of our Natural Horsemanship guru Rio Barrett, Venus arrived on the day when the planet Venus was eclipsing the sun, hence the name.  Thereafter we preferred to name our Spanish homebred stock after consecutive letters of the alphabet, starting with Amora and Amorio the following year.

The intention with our homebred stock is to breed and produce horses that either excel in competition or become solid riding school horses – as riding school horses do need to have certain and very specific characteristics to succeed.  However Venus fitted neither bill, noran ideal brood mare, therefore she was gifted to our employee Jade Horspool, who has the skill to ride and care for this less-than straightforward mare!  Jade also keeps her startingly clean which is no easy task when all of our horses live as they should – out on pasture 24/7!

Breeze

Status: Staff Pony

Height: 13.1 hh
YOB: 2001
Gender: Mare
Colour: Chestnut
Breed: Newforest
Owner: Jade Horspool

One could say Breeze is a bit of a character, which is why Jade likes her so much.  Just as well someone as experienced as Jade owns her because this is not a straightforward mare!  Breeze has definitely landed on all four hooves with Jade as her devoted owner.

Dave

Status:  Staff Horse

Height: 14.3 hh
YOB: 2005
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Grey
Breed: Connemara
Owner: Holly Player

Dave originally came over to us as a second pony for our long-term livery Ella.  When Ella outgrew him he was quickly snapped up by our full-time employee Holly who now keeps him with us on Staff Livery. She aims to enjoy all types of opportunities on Dave, now having her own horse to train and produce to compete in different disciplines including hunting, which all our staff enjoy participating in.

Dinky

Status: Working Livery

Height: 11.2 hh
YOB: 1996
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Breed: Irish Pony
Owner: Lydia McKimm

Dinky looks like the perfect mini version of a quality show hunter but is never going to go any faster than his small jockey would like.  He was a favourite of the proprietor’s daughter when she was younger and attended many off-site Pony Club activities, whilst now he is showing his young owner Lydia the ropes.  Dinky has been with us for years and is very much part of our family.

Domonic

Status: Working Livery

Height: 14 hh
YOB: 1993
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Chestnut
Breed: Show Pony Type
Owners: Alejandra de Brunner

A reliable and kind pony who will melt your heart with his loving look. Domonic loves to jump and canter but he will make sure you are safe and sound on top!

Eddie

Status: Elite/Working Livery

Height: 14 hh
YOB: 1997
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Dun
Breed: Connemara
Owner: Evelyn Sadler

Eddie is a bit of a legend.  Originally bought for the proprietor’s daughter he gave Amelia enormous confidence, so much so they were often seen jumping the top of the wings!  When outgrown, Phoebe (Pexton) then took him over and had huge success on the Goodwood Pony Club teams, before also outgrowing him and then he was swiftly snapped up by Evelyn who is definitely following in Phoebe’s footsteps with this amazing pony. 

Whilst clever and capable he may be, he is also quirky in that you can never tell him what to do, you have to let him think everything is his idea!  A fantastic pony to provide the best possible grounding to the capable older child rider.

Gatsby

Status:  Working Livery

Height: 13 hh
YOB: 2005
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Chestnut
Breed: Welsh Section B
Owner: Lily de Lacy

Gatsby is a little rascal, but a lovable with it and is hugely popular with all children as a second pony.  He does it all and with great gusto – Gatsby’s least redeeming feature is his ability to escape from all types of situations, in particular his field and his stall.  However he more than makes up for this with his sunny personality and has never looked back from the moment he arrived when he was delivered with out donkey, Diesel, straight off the Welsh mountains!

Lir

Status: Elite Livery

Height: 14.2 hh
YOB: 1995
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Chestnut
Breed: Reg’d Connemara
Owner: Connor Pattison

Connor’s first pony was the wonderful Tyler but he quickly progressed onto needing something more demanding and as a consequence the schoolmaster Lir was purchased for Connor from a local family.  A fabulous pony with whom Connor is having a great deal of fun and is also competing off-site successfully.  Occasionally someone lucky gets to ride Lir in the riding school to help keep the pony fit when Connor is unable to ride.

Ozzie

Status: Working Livery

Height: 12.2 hh
YOB: 1998
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Skewbald (Chestnut & White)
Breed: Irish Pony
Owner: Phoebe Johnson

You would be hard-pressed to find a better first pony than Ozzie – even if he does have the most remarkable shape – nothing in his physique matches, including his colour! 

Ozzie sort of came to us by default along with Squeak and Eddie, the latter being the show jumping pony the proprietor went to Kent to buy for her daughter, and in fact ended up coming back with several really useful ponies - an outing that really was a one-off and never to be repeated sadly!  Looking over another stable door at the time and spotting Ozzie was one of the best questions she ever asked, which was: ”Is he for sale too?”

An extraordinary pony is the only way to describe Ozzie accurately.  Every child should learn to ride on an Ozzie – and this just about says it all.

Pebbles

Status: Riding School/Pony Pals Half-Share Available

Height: 12 hh
YOB: 2001
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Breed: Welsh Section A
Half-Share Owner: Bethany Stonefrost/Other half-share available
(Loan is only available if to remain at Lavant House Stables)
Pebbles is a “picture-perfect” pony with his striking colour, big round tummy and very dainty head.

The confident Pebbles really does know it all – he knows how to teach our smaller children to canter and jump and has the perfect manners to match. Pebbles is the ideal starter pony and we know we are very lucky to have him with us.

Polo

Status: Working livery

Height: 13.3 hh
YOB: 1994
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Grey (White)
Breed: Irish Pony
Owner: Molly Briggs

Polo is the perfect second pony – he does everything well and confidently and certainly suits the child who prefers a more forward going pony – although he would never dream of taking off with his rider.  Good in all respects, Polo has done a lot of off site Pony Club activities as well as had success in show jumping and hunter trials.  He has so far been the perfect second pony for three successive owners who have all gone on to more advanced horses thanks to the confidence and skills this pony has provided them with.

Rory

Status: Elite/Working Livery

Height: 14.3 hh
YOB: 2001
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Bay
Breed: Connemara
Owner: Phoebe McCall

Rory is a good looking, quality pony who has done it all and is therefore the perfect schoolmaster.  It would be hard to find a more straight forward pony than Rory and he certainly sets up his riders for a confident and skilled future when they move onto horses.

Sailor

Status: Riding School/For Sale/For Loan

Height: 14.2 hh
YOB: 2004
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Golden Dun
Breed: Connemara
Owner: Quarrey/Kynan-Holmes/LHS
Price: £3,950 (only for sale if to remain at LHS)

Imported from Ireland in 2010 this lovely pony is a pleasure to ride and do, being easy in all respects.  Lauren hunted him over the winter of 2010/11 proving his worth as a suitable mount for child or small adult.  Now outgrown by the Quarrey family, Sailor is seeking a new owner.  A beautiful pony with a lovely mind and no hang-ups, he is a sort that is usually hard to find.  He is also of sufficient quality to successfully show in affiliated Mountain & Moorland classes.

Timmy

Status: Working Livery

Height: 14 hh
YOB: 2005
Gender: Gelding
Colour: Grey
Breed: Connemara Cross
Owner: Isabella Boulton

Now this is an unusual pony because Timmy is definitely cast in the same mould as my daughter’s pony wonderful pony Eddie.  Not easy to get to grips with to start with, these complex individuals have so much to offer as child and pony progress together that any hiccups are soon forgotten especially once they start experiencing the glories that are destined to be their future. It is a very lucky child that owns the rare Eddies and Timmies although their parents might not always agree with this sentiment at the beginning!

Willow

Status: Pony Pals

Height: 13 hh
YOB: 1995
Gender: Mare
Colour: Bay
Breed: Welsh Section B
Owners: Daniel Winnett & Miranda Grant

Willow has been with us for a long time and has successfully introduced a lot of children into pony ownership, many of whom are now seriously competing on horses. Always a hugely popular pony, Willow is a buzzy, safe, fun ride who also happens to be extremely pretty too. You only have to look at Willow to know she is definitely a girl!

Willow is a perfect schoolmaster for any child having had a lot of experience competing in all types of activities off site too – she is also a pony that just keeps on getting better with each passing year.
