We have upto 27 school horses and ponies at any one time. Each of our horses and Ponies are picked for their good temperaments and their trainability and their abilities in different disciplines. We school the horses and ponies for between 6 and 12 months before they are used as a school horse and are available to ride by clients.
Most of our horses and ponies are available for Part Loan, where a client, as long as they are deemed capable, can look after and ride a horse or pony as if it were their own. Riders must have regular lessons with their loan horse or pony which is why a 1 hour weekly lesson is included in the price, this makes sure that the horses and ponies remain well schooled and are worked in a supervised manner for their welfare. We therefore only allow horses and ponies to be loaned to clients who have ridden with us for a while.
Our horses and ponies are also regularly competed in all disciplines from Dressage to Show Jumping and Pony Club activities. We host shows here at Lanquestrian Ltd. where clients may hire a horse or pony to ride and we also travel to outside shows and events for those who are capable.

Quest is a 13.3hh Fell Pony. He is fun to ride for the more experienced rider and is a good jumper. He is 21 years old now so he is getting to be an old man - so does not do quite so much as he used to!
Image: Joules
Joules is a 14.2hh cob mare and was on loan to us initially but having proved her great worth in the school we bought her, she can be a bit lazy if she can get away with it but believe us she can do it (proved by this picture!) - She qualified for the Festival of Champions Summer Championships and was 4th in the Riding Club horse and was also 5th with her rider in the equitation. Joules enjoys all her work and does Dressage, Hacking, Show Jumping and Cross country where she has a big jump and she also Drives out with Jeannette on occasion. She has just again qualified for the festival of Champions, this time in show jumping.
Image: Benson
Benson is a 14.1hh cob gelding. He is 7 years old and is Mr. Dependable! He can turn his hoof to almost anything and as he rides and drives he even doubles as Rudolph when Santa needs a ride in the trap at the Christmas Carol Singing.
Image: Lady
Lady is a 14hh Black Mare. Ridden by children and adults alike - we waited 3 years to buy this pony as she ticks every box for the perfect riding school mount! She is Mrs. Dependable and enjoys dressage, jumping and hacking. Lady also drives with Jeannette.
Image: Gem
Gem is a 13.2hh Black-Brown Fell cross. Gem is 16 years old and ready for anything, she can clear a show jumping course as easily as she can do dressage. Gem also enjoys hacking and cross country.
Image:
Tommy or as he is more affectionately known - Tommy Trouble, is a 13.2hh Piebald cob gelding. He is a good alrounder and is a fun but responsive ride. In the field he never stops playing with the other ponies, life for him is just one big holiday.
Image:
Lily is a 11.2hh Flea-bitten gray mare. Good things come in small packages, and Lily proves this! Perfect for smaller riders and beginners, Lily can do it all. Lily can just as easily take children and small teenagers around a cross country course as she can teach even the smallest of riders!
