A few weeks ago we welcomed FOUR new faces to the Green Barn the SAME day…
[2 pony faces + 2 people faces = 4 new faces!]
“Tucker,” a sweeter-than-is-right 4 year old OTT gelding whose talent is obvious to all who meet him, and “Lily” a just LOVELY 6 year old Welsh/draft cross who looks like she’s floating on a cloud as she extends in her trot across the flat; and their owners – Lauren and Becca! … Continue Reading

Moorlands Totilas (nicknamed “Toto”) is a 10-year-old black Dutch Warmblood stallion, who many people are calling the horse of the century.
Wonder why? Look at him!
Toto won all 3 Gold medals in the World Equestrian Games, the first horse ever to do so.
