Our first blog Post, wow! Welcome to the 21st century Sheans Horse Farm.
Are you missing the Sheans Horses and Ponies or fancy seeing some of our most trusted steeds?
With the lockdown continuing, we thought it would be good to remind everyone of some of our favourite horses and ponies. They are all getting on well, enjoying the rest but you can tell they are missing their routine and the TLC they would get daily in the stables.
Have a look and please leave a comment in the comment area at the bottom of the page with your favourite horse, your favourite bit of information about your horse or what horse you would like to see.
Milo - 12 years old
Milo is the main man at Sheans. He has won hearts of adults and kids and love his beach rides and cross country
JR - 16 years old
The dabbled grey is one of the most photographed horses at Sheans. He is as honest as they come and a complete gentleman.
Walter - 10 years old
Meet the horse that’s thinks its a human and is like your very own pet, he would follow anyone all day long just for a neck rub
Jack - 15 years old
The most laid back pony you will meet but lots of our kids can find his higher gears. Loves his cuddles and treats
Fudge - 14 years old
This is Jack’s absolute best buddy. He is a horse fit for a King or Queen but often enjoys a slower pace of life
Max - 16 years old
From adults to young children max always understands and looks after his riders and has given so many beginners confidence. He knows he’s the best looking horse on the yard
Mervin - 13 years old
He’s not lost his crown for being best family pony at Armoy show for the past few years and even knows how to take his own bridle off
Pebbles - 11 years old
The smallest and cutest pony on the farm and the best escape artist we have ever met. All the kids love this one
Puddens - 20 years old
Puddens has been with us since the very beginning. Now in her twighlight years, she is still the sweetest pony who has taught all abilities and just adores kids
Our Horses
The horses we use for our Horse Riding Lessons, Treks, Hacks and Beach Rides are mostly Irish cobs or Irish draught horses. The cobs are gentle, strong and versatile. For hundreds of years they pulled wagons and carts throughout Ireland but today they are used for the perfect hobby horse.
Today, they come in all shapes and sizes (some more athletic than others) and their gentle and social nature, their sure footedness and the comfort they offer, make them the perfect horses to enjoy the equestrian activities at Sheans.
