BB, also known as Black Beauty, is our oldest and most cherished team member. He is the heart of our herd and was my daughter’s very first pony, growing alongside our family from childhood through school and home life.

 

He is as close to “bombproof” as you can get — calm, reliable, and steady in any situation. Over the years, BB has been everywhere: pony club, kindergarten visits, inside the house watching TV, racetracks, and even nursing homes. These experiences have made him exceptionally confident, adaptable, and trustworthy in all environments.

 

BB has a beautiful soul and is kind, gentle, and truly one in a million. He spends his days with his best mate, and they share a very special bond. His companion is quite dependent on him and can become unsettled when BB is away. Despite this, BB remains relaxed, confident, and reassuring.

BB loves people and genuinely enjoys interacting with everyone he meets. Always chilled, affectionate, and dependable, he brings a sense of calm, trust, and connection wherever he goes.

Patch is our beautiful, kind-hearted gelding who has played a special role in helping my eldest daughter learn to ride. He’s been one of her most challenging horses — and also one of her greatest teachers. Patch is incredibly sensitive and intuitive. He notices what’s happening around him, and he’ll often “stand up” for his rider when they need support. My daughter calls him her heart horse, and it’s easy to see why.

 

On the ground, Patch is a dream to be around. He enjoys attention and connection, and once he trusts you, he really opens up and shows you his gentle nature. Patch likes to interact and be included — he’s the kind of horse who meets you halfway when you approach with calmness and respect.

 

In his earlier years, Patch took part in activities like pony club and horse trials, and he’s experienced in a range of settings. When he came to us, he was a big challenge to take out to new places and it took time, patience, and consistency to help him feel safe and confident. Watching my daughter work through that and build a relationship with him has been incredible — her hard work has truly paid off.
