School Horses

Contessa Riding Centre boasts 40 horses of various sizes, abilities, colours and temperaments! We really do have a mount for everyone – whether you want to learn Advanced dressage movements or master walk and halt. Use the tabs above to explore our horses.

Maisie

Maisie is a beautiful dun and white skewbald mare who is a firm favourite. She’s a versatile mare, who is great on the flat, over fences and has even turned her hoof to Western.

Anni

Anni is worth her weight in gold. She is a fantastic confidence giver, yet well schooled and obedient. She is also ridden side saddle.

Fergus

A lovely character, who has given riders great confidence as they learn to master their initial riding techniques.

Connor

Connor is a great confidence giver. He is useful for novice riders, but is such a good all-rounder that experienced riders enjoy him too.

Suzy

Sweet natured Suzy is a firm favourite with adults and children and really enjoys jumping.

Charmer

Charmer by name and by nature! Charmer is a cheeky chap but tries hard when he is asked correctly. He is a great horse to learn to use the aids correctly with and enjoys difficult lateral work.
