About our Horses
We have beautiful Irish cobs who are members of our family who are loved and well cared for. We never work the same horse every day we rotate them and give them days off. They also only do the one trip a day to dun Aonghasa so that day trip tour is never rushed. They are kept out in large pastures and not confined in Stables. The Gypsy Cobs have compact, powerful bodies with broad backs, thick manes and tails and feathered feet and are known for being strong, good natured and very hardy
