Meet Sibel

15/09/2021/in Horses, New new new/by RanchAdmin

What a difference a few weeks at the Ranch makes. We would like you to meet Sibel.

Sibel is a beautiful Arabian from the endurance team sponsor’s Yegauda Sultan. She was a little tubby and out of shape when she arrived (but stunning – see this photo we have of her as a 1 year old filly).

Caroline was been tasked with training her for her first endurance race later in September.

Her daughter Jazmin and regular rider Lola have been doing the training rides at all times of the morning and evening… and what a difference two weeks makes.

Here she is before during and after her bootcamp. Ready to head to the RAID and compete. She is a lovely sweet character, enthusiastic to run as most Arabs are and especially ones from Yegauda Sultan. Watch this space and see how Sibel’s story unfolds as her career starts.

Horses at the Ranch

We never get bored of looking at these wonderful faces – so here’s some recent snapshots of just some of the horses at the Ranch.

Come and meet them when you book a riding activity at Ranch Siesta Los Rubios. We always make sure we match the right horse in size and riding level and character to each rider. There’s always one that you find that special connection with. Everyone has their favourite!

Treats time

Treats time for the horses. Divina shining like black beauty after her pampering session. Hechi having some grass now the rains have come and it’s springing up everywhere again. And Ahitan deciding if this bush is worth eating or not with his fluffy winter coat on!

She’s rather gorgeous isn’t she?

Happy hackers

We have been busy introducing beginners to our horses with our Saddle Up 2 hour experience for first timers.
And taking a lot of children through our fantastic one-to-one learn to ride package called Trot On.
Plus of course taking people out riding and enjoying the company of our many liveries on the trails.
Here you’ll see Nicola, a new rider, taking Ahitan (Arab) out for the first time with Sylvia and Lord.

Rescue horse Brownie

26/09/2020/in Horses/by RanchAdmin

What progress our rescue horse Brownie is making! From fairly ugly duckling to a beautiful fit and bold young lady. She’s got a gleaming coat, bright eyes and mind set on learning. We are loving watching her flourish with time, patience and care.

Here is Sabrina who puts in so much time training her and working with her to build her confidence and knowledge.

Our new girl!

10/08/2020/in Horses/by RanchAdmin

A stunning big mare joined us this week to be brought on and find her a new forever home. She is not only beautiful in colouring but also in nature. Her personality is calm and sweet, she has wonderful paces and is proving to be bomb proof out on a hack. At 164 cm and 8 years old, she is going to make someone the best “horse in a lifetime” when she leaves us.
