Solo If Solo was 16hh, he would be a Grand Prix dressage horse. He is strawberry roan, though we often call him pink and is very well schooled, enabling us to teach children more complicated lateral work. |

Moonie Moonie is relatively new to the Contessa family, but a firm favourite nonetheless! He loves all types of work, but is particularly talented at Jumping. He is the perfect size to be ridden by both children and adults. |
