One of the very best

New Zealand etc. The horses were fantastic and forward going, the scenery
superlative, the accommodation brilliant…. Sue Eastbury –

A horse must come first. If you don’t believe that, if you are not
prepared to feed and take care of him before you do anything for yourself,
then you shouldn’t have a horse.
You probably wouldn’t want one anyway.
The people who want horses, the horse maniacs, enjoy the stable work as
much as the actual riding`
