Hour and hours of the freedom of riding

Is a life time remembered with pleasure?

 

One of the very best trail rides I have done and I have done around 20 rides in Spain, South Africa, New Zealand etc. The horses were fantastic and forward going, the scenery superlative, the accommodation brilliant…. Sue Eastbury – Warwickshire, England

Seamless operation, great organization, excellent staff. Fabulous "African" accommodation… comfortable, great and endless food - Beautiful country with spectacular beaches. Every day ended with the thought that it couldn't possibly get better than this but always the next day excelled and eclipsed the day before. Monica Lake-Monro - Canada

A horse must come first. If you don’t believe that, if you are not prepared to feed and take care of him before you do anything for yourself, then you shouldn’t have a horse. You probably wouldn’t want one anyway. The people who want horses, the horse maniacs, enjoy the stable work as much as the actual riding` Monica Dickens

Torstone Sport Horses

We breed a selection of Arab, Part Arab and Anglo Arab horses each year to meet the demand for quality trail horses, and outstanding endurance prospects. Two different types of horses, both requiring excellent athletic ability, kind natures and sound confirmation.

 

The horses at home on Sunray Farm....

We advocate natural horse care; our horses live out 24/7 and are bare foot.  We ensure that they receive the very best feed, and maintain strict routine of feet trimming, vaccinations and deworming.

 

Our trail team is a selection of home bred and handpicked Boerperd, Thoroughbred, Percheron and Anglo Arab horses, chosen for their temperament, size, sure footedness and reliability.

Trail horses are very special equines; they have to be lively and forward going enough to keep up with the rigors of days of riding and kind enough to accept that each week they will have a different rider. 

Our horses are all much loved and cared for….

You and your horse. His strength and beauty. Your knowledge and patience and determination. And understanding. And love. That’s what fuses the two of you into this marvellous partnership that makes you wonder, what can Heaven offer any better than what you have here on earth?
