Al Adiyat Shabah

Pure bred Arabian Stallion

Charmante Ibn Ziyadaan x Chesyb Dunari

 

Durakha Raka

 

Mr. Suave

Boerperd ~ Gelding ~ 15.3 hh

born 1990 ~ 18 years

Suave has been with us since the beginning when we started doing the trails.  He is a true gentleman and still loves a good gallop down the beach.  We have retired him from the longer trails and he now commands the shorter beach rides.  The guys love him and his funky shuffle and big walk. 

 

Kingston

TB x Percheron ~ Gelding

9 years old

16 hh

Kingston is our gentle giant, really fun to ride with a big forward going trot and rocking horse canter.  He can be ridden by anyone, especially very nervous riders and is available for our heavy weight riders up to 120 kg.  One just has to remember that he simply can’t keep up with a fast canter down the beach (although he tries!)

Jumping Jack

 

 

 

Pinto Gelding

16 years old 14 hh

Jack was a competitive show jumping pony in his day, doing very well in all disciplines that he was ridden in.  He has just done his first Wild Coast Trail and he is going to be a star at this too! Jack is actually a horse - with short legs!!  This powerful cob will carry most riders, and he is fun to ride and beautifully schooled!

 

Jet

Boerperd x Arab ~ Gelding

15 years?

We bought Jet with his friend Captain to use on the beach rides.  He had been used as a pack horse on trails further inland. Jet has proved that he is a strong reliable mount and is occasionally used on overnight trails.

 

 

 

 

 

Benny

 

El Barec Ibn El Khantara

Arab

12 years

Benny has done about 1000km of competitive endurance rides with his previous owner before coming to us.  He is now our principle lead horse on the beach rides and used occasionally on overnight trails.

 

Card Call

Thoroughbred Gelding

5 years

15.3 hh

What a sweetie Card Call is!  CC loves people, has been well schooled to novice dressage and show jumping before coming to us as a trail horse.

He suits riders who enjoy a relaxed forward going ride but want to feel that they have full control on a well schooled horse.

 

Tin Tin

Thoroughbred Gelding

8 years

15.3 hh

 

Tin Tin is the most relaxed laid back thoroughbred – you can ride him at the back in a slow canter or at the front in a fabulous extended canter down the beach – no worries.

He suits riders who enjoy a relaxed forward going ride but want to feel that they have full control on a well schooled horse.

 

Barron

Welsh Cob/Appaloosa? ~ Gelding

12 years?

15.2 hh

 

Asante

Boerperd ~ Gelding

8 years old

15 hh

 

Captain

Boerperd ~ Gelding

10 years?

15.1 hh

Julie-Anne rides Captain as lead horse; he is an intelligent and responsive ride who needs a quiet seat and hands to keep him relaxed. He is occasionally available to riders who particularly enjoy a very forward going ride.  You need to be confident that you can hold him as he can get very strong on the canters down the beach!

At home the work riders love him as he loves jumping our mini cross country course!

 

 

Puzzle

F2 Pinto Boerperd Gelding

6 years

14.3 hh

Everyone loves Puzzle.  This little horse with a big heart and big horse stride is a wonderful ride, he is forward going and responsive.

Perfect for child riders and ladies who enjoy a fun uncomplicated ride.

 

Reign

Boerperd Gelding

7 years

14.3 hh

 

Reign has a very special place in our team. He looks after our most nervous or novice riders on trail.  If they are too nervous to canter too fast down the beach, that’s ok, he will go along at what ever pace the rider is comfortable with.

Geronimo

Pinto Boerperd ~ Gelding

6 years 15 hh

 

 

 

Torstone Tambourine

Al Adiyat Shabah x Dancing Quayle

Anglo Arab ~ Gelding

4 years 15.1 hh

Future endurance riding prospect

Tambourine is a late maturing horse; he looks so much like his dad Shabah.  He has done a couple of trails and is proving to be a lovely forward going uncomplicated ride.

 

 

 

Torstone Tassenburg

Al Adiyat Shabah x It’s a Secret

Anglo Arab ~ Gelding

4 years  15.2 hh

Future endurance riding prospect

Beautiful conformation and eye catching under saddle, Tassenburg is all class.  He is a lovely, lovely ride and has done a couple of trails like a pro.  His flat work is coming on nicely.  Definitely a horse to look out for!

Torstone Time Warp

Al Adiyat Shabah x It’s a Secret

Anglo Arab ~ Gelding

6 years 15.3hh

Endurance riding prospect

Time has a huge personality, huge walk, and an unbelievable turn of speed down the beach!  His lade back attitude is definitely one of a surfer dude who loves the adrenalin of fast work.  He is being taken through novice endurance competitions at the moment and will be ready to start competing in 2010.

 

Torstone Top Deck

Al Adiyat Shabah x Paint Brush

Anglo Arab ~ Gelding

7 years 14.3 hh

Endurance riding prospect

Julie-Anne’s other lead horse, Tops has to be in the front of the ride once you’re down on the beach!  He is very comfortable, forward going and responsive.  He has started his endurance career and we hope to see him start competing in 2010.

 

Torstone Moonlight

Duke (Basuto) x Chesyb Dunari

Part Arab Gelding

19 years. 14.3 hh

Julie-Anne’s most precious and most loved best friend.  It is with a very heavy heart that he is now retired from trail; his old joints can’t take the fast work on soft beaches anymore. Moonlight was unbeaten in many endurance rides, and in the show ring and has lead the trails for over 6 years, he will be missed by all who know him.(he could almost do the trail by himself!)  Moonlight is now ridden at home on hacks around the farm and keeps the rest of the herd in order.

Torstone Tamsin

Al Adiyat Shabah x Torstone Starlight

Endurance Part Arab ~ Mare

15 hh

11 years

She is the very first foal that we bred, is Starlight’s daughter and Moonlights grand daughter.  Ashley is currently competing in open endurance races with her and they are doing very well, finishing in top 3 places in really good times.  Tamsin is occasionally used on trail as part of her conditioning training and is perfect for riders wanting a more advanced ride.

Torstone Tinkles

Forest x Tilly

Warm blood/Arab x  Welsh/Shetland ~ Mare

born 10/02/06 ~ 3 years ~ 13.2hh

Tinkle’s has just started working. She has done her basic work at home and now she is learning how to be a good trail pony down at the beach, and so far she is doing very well! She takes after her mom Tilly J 

Tinkles sister Torstone Picachu is dong very well at endurance rides.

Torstone Tilly

 

Welsh/Shetland farm pony cross ~ Mare

born 1992 ~ 16 years ~ 12.2 hh

This must be the cutest trail horse in the world J

Tilly was Ashley’s pony when he was a little boy.  They were seldom beaten at local shows in the working pony and rider pony combination classes.  She is reserved for our very special young riders who come on trail with their mom and dad.  Her youngest rider to do the 6 night trail was 6 years old!
