| Basil |
|
|
|
| Wanand (known as Basil) joined us in May as a spare horse, but has proved to be so good and he enjoys his work so much that he partners Dan for most of the Greys weddings. He has a lovely temperament and is a favourite to work with. |

Wodan
|
|
|
|
Wodan is a Dutch Warm blood horse that was imported at the same time as Victor.
He was born black and is getting lighter each season. (Grey Dutch Warm bloods are extremely uncommon.) |
| |
| Victor |
|
|
|
Victor is a Dutch Warm blood horse that we imported in 2006. He was born chestnut (light brown) and will get lighter every season. Bought at the same time as Wodan and then trained to work as a pair. |
| |
| Carloff |
|
|
|
Carloff is the smallest and strongest Friesian Stallion that we have. Carloff has a cheeky character and a get up and go attitude. He works best paired with Jacco, in a pair or team.
He is also a favourite with the teenagers who ride him at the stables. |
| |
| Deirdrick |
|
|
|
Luckily for us Deirdrick did not quite make the grade as a breeding stallion in Holland and so came to us fully trained in riding and driving. He is a show off, and when working with Etse, both horses try to out do each other in the beauty stakes. |
| |
| Etse |
|
|
|
Etse was imported from Holland when he was 4 months old, as company for Dake the brother of Jacco (not shown). He is trained to ride and drive and has just completed his first full season of weddings in 2006. |
| |
| Jacco |
|
|
|
Jacco has been with the family for nine years. He has a great temperament, he loves everyone. Jacco has been on TV, in the London Parades (new years day, including year 2000), has worked in weddings birthday parties and funerals.
He also is a very good horse to ride, inspiring confidence with his gentle attitude.
Jaccos favourite place is on the beach! |

| Gemini |
|
|
|
The only “lady” horse (mare) that we have. She works with her best friend Jedda who she has lived along side since she was six months old.
Gemini is trained to be ridden or driven. She has competed at the Windsor driving trials in which she was placed every time.
Gemini is an extremely gentle horse that enjoys posing for the camera. |
| |
| Jedda |
|
|
|
Jedda is the horse that started the weddings. He started out as a riding horse used for showing and jumping, he then moved on to cross country events. One day at a driving event, a lady told Tim that “it is impossible to drive an Arab horse”. Two weeks later he entered his first driving competition, silencing the critic.
Jedda is young at heart; he will always do his best to please. |
