Our Equine Partners
Meet our equine partners and find out a little about their lives here at Quinta de Estevianas.
Musa. Born 2011, our elegant, sweet and slightly sassy mare loves to full gallop, so hold on to your hats, as this will be a fun ride. She is slow to trust, but once committed she is a great riding partner although her commitment to that partnership does require lots of consideration of her feelings. In the time since she joined us here, we have seen her confidence grow alongside her muscles and fitness level, such that she can bounce with energy when allowed to.
Whisper. Born 2023, our Belgian Draft is both a delight and a little (big) terror! She adores attention, at times allowing her jealousy to run a little high if she doesn’t get it. Nothing phases her; she’s great with children, crowds, interacting, being brushed and, quite simply, enjoys being the centre of attention. Her only challenge is moving faster than a steady walk, but she gets there with a bit of encouragement.
Revel: Born 2020, our incredibly loyal, friendly, dependable pony has all of our hearts completely stolen. He approaches every new situation with curiosity and excitement, loving music and parties. He is incredibly gentle with his little riders, and is a perfect gentleman to humans and equines alike. He teaches our new equines their manners, and our expectations, with kind firmness, making our lives so much easier! Good things definitely come in small packages!
Born 2024, Espirito is Revel’s first protege and is shining because of it. He is a quick learner, respectful and keen to prove himself. He looks keenly for direction, and wants to please. Both he and Revel are so well behaved, they have earned the right to free graze, fence-free, always staying within the area we have given them. To make him even more adorable, he loves a lovely bum scratch.
