Pictured below are some of the ponies and horses we use at Kirkmichael Riding. We are one big family here at the Kirkmichael steading, our horses live and work together in a safe and lively atmosphere. All of our horses are happy and well looked after and their unique talents are encouraged. We bring variety into the horses lives, and nurture their individual personalities because we love them and in the process avoid "trail horse lethargy" that can often happen. All of our horses are forward going and keen, and yet have a patient and tolerant nature towards novice riders. Below the pics are some details of these and other horses and ponies that we use from time to time.
