Meet our Horses Jade the Hackney pony is pretty much perfect! She is all of 12 and a half hands tall. With the sweetest and most willing attitude in the world, Jade is who the majority of our littles start on. She takes great care of the young kids; after all, she’s just their size! She is easy to steer and stop, and she loves to... jog slow for beginners. When the kids are comfortable enough to post trot, Jade can kick it up just enough to help them find their rhythm! See more
