MEET THE HORSES
SUMMER
Summer is 11yrs old, part bred Mare who was born in 2013. She's Wizz's daughter and owned by Sarah.
Summer had a slightly tricky start to her life being born exceptionally early. Defying the odds and with a massive input from Liphook Equine Vets, she made it through and has now been lightly backed and beginning her education.
With regards to her work Summer enjoys long reining to the beach, loose jumping and lunging.
Summer has never grown out of her love for cuddles, kisses and still thinks she can sit on your lap! She loves all forms of attention especially bathing, where she likes to be in charge of the hose and she never fails to make you smile.
MINI MOUSE
Mini Mouse is 16yrs old, Thoroughbred Mare who in September 2018 became Eloise's first horse. Mini was a national hunt racer for Warmwell Stud, who had a need for speed!
Mini has been undergoing re schooling and training both on the ground with double lunging/long reining and under saddle. She has also developed her ability to work long and low to develop a strong top line as well as lots of different pole work exercises.
During this time, Mini had to undergo an extensive rehabilitation programme and is now loving her exercise, cuddles and attention.
Mini came to us with lots of layers which needed unwrapping! She has now developed a more loving and cheeky sense of humour and constantly keeps us on our toes!
WIZZ
Wizz is 18yrs old, Welsh part bred Mare who in 2012 became Sarahs horse. Wizz had a successful ridden career until the age of 7 where she enjoyed a wide variety of work including dressage, show jumping and hunting.
She really enjoyed her dressage and was regularly scoring high sixties - mid seventies.
Since retiring Wizz turned her hoof to in hand showing which she loved and was always in the ribbons and was loved by the judges.
Her main job now is looking after the herd and living her best retired life as a glorified lawn mower, whilst making sure they all know who is in charge!
ZIGGY
Ziggy was a 7yr old Appaloosa Gelding who joined the Four Seasons Equestrian team in 2019.
Fortunately for Ziggy he was saved from an uncertain future. Since being with us he had blossomed into the sweetest, most honest horse we could have wished for, who's favourite thing in the world was cuddles!
In March 2021 we had to make the hardest decision and Ziggy was put to sleep. He had a rare condition in his feet and the prognosis long term was not in his favour.
Whilst he was with us he learned what love was all about and enjoyed hacking to the beach, pole work and being an over sized lap dog!
ROSIE
Rosie is 11yrs old, cob mare who recently joined us on full livery.
Since being with us Rosie has given her owner so much joy and pleasure. They have been taking this time to develop and build a bond together and it really has been wonderful!
They have been enjoying some schooling, lessons but Rosies favourite thing is to head off to the beach and share an ice lolly with her mum!
Rosie is going to be her mums new dancing partner and they are kicking off the summer by heading out for their first dressage test together!
