Horses

Tommy Pink (Tom)
Advanced ex racehorse by Deroulede.
Came from Ireland as a novice in 2003 having been turned out in a field for 6 months. Won a young rider European gold medal 2005. A sensitive soul who finds dressage difficult but usually tries his best. Previously not the most consistent of jumpers he is now ultra reliable in these phases. Likes to spend his time snoozing in the field or ripping his rugs.

	Hownam Law (Rodney)
	Intermediate thoroughbred by Accondy.
	Co-owned with his breeder, Rhona Elliot. Another little horse with a big personality. Enjoys showing off in the dressage arena and has improved hugely in the showjumping phase. On the BEF 2012 Equine Pathway Programme. Won the arena events series and the Scottish Points Championship 2007. 3rd in his first 3 day event at Blair Castle.

Moores Stream (Jay)
Intermediate Irish Sports Horse by Cavalier Two For Joy.
Found in Ireland as a four year old in 2005. Has been brought on slowly as needed time to settle but adores her jumping. Won 3 novices in 2007 and was placed on every outing. On BEF Equine Pathway for 2012.

Phantom Major (Major)
by Phantom Breeze

	Lucky Penny (Penny)

5 year old 15.2hh ex racehorse who is also for sale. Has a super attitude, an unflappable temperament and wants to be everyone’s best friend. Has been rebacked since leaving racing and with additional work would make an ideal first horse.

	Sorcha Skye (Molly)

	5 year old owned by Tim Watson. A nice young horse who will be brought on slowly. She has good movement and an impressive jump. Starting at pre novice and aiming for novice by the end of the season.

Tell Tarragon (Taz)
Advanced Irish pony cross of unknown breeding.
Came from Ireland as a novice in 2002. Has represented Scotland at the JRN championships and on three Home International teams at Blair Castle. Taz doesn’t know he’s tiny and is a highly opinionated individual often bouncing through his dressage tests. Won the Arena events series in 2005. Now retired to his previous owner in Ireland.
