Taylor, Ellie Jolleys, Samantha Morrison, Katie Hughes.
Our much loved Arnie is now retired from competition but is our
chief companion for Helmeast when travelling and is on permanent
'flirt alert' duty for our mares, being a former stallion
himself. To me as a breeder and a parent this pony as well as
Helmeast are what I consider to be the perfect pony for a young
talented dressage rider but not necessarily suitable for most
children, being very sharp and responsive.
