Summerfield Murgese Horses

We are so excited to share these photos of the Murgese boys 📷

In July, Fiona organised for the wonderful Flo to come to the farm for a photoshoot and we are thrilled with the results 😍

These boys came over from Italy in April 2022 and have grown into strong, level headed and very handsome gentlemen.

Earlier this year we stumbled across a Facebook post from Flo Knoyle Photography looking for two black horses for a photoshoot. The boys certainly met the criteria, so we volunteered to take part, and wow, aren’t we glad we did!

Flo, the photos are more stunning than we could ever have imagined! You, Laura and the team are all incredibly talented. Thank you for choosing our boys to take part.

We’d like to say a big thank you to VH Freelance Equestrian Services who helped us prepare the boys for the shoot and to Katherine at Steady Neddy Horsebox Hire and Transport. for the posh wheels to get us there.

Lovely to see Pastrengo having a hack with his new owner, Karen 😍

Today we waved farewell to our lovely Pastrengo who is off to pastures new (all 10 acres of it!) with his new owner, Karen.

Pastrengo has been a joy to own since we brought him over from Italy in April 2022. We’ll miss his cheeky character at the farm, but we know he’s in good hands with Karen and her other horses.

It really was love at first sight for these two and we can’t wait to see how they develop together! 😍

🇮🇹 Parker 🇮🇹

Gorgeous Parker is now listed on HorseQuest.

4 Years Old
16hh
Purebred Italian Murgese

Parker has had extensive groundwork training, including long reining.

He was easy to back proving to be straightforward, confident and adaptable. He is hacking out and ready to start his riding future.

Please get in touch if you’d like more information 📞 📧

Parker was imported with 3 other Murgese horses direct from the Puglia region of Italy in April 2022.The Murgese is a virtually unknown breed in the UK but are growing in popularity across Europe due to their manageability and temperament (the stallions are rarely gelded in Italy). This Ba...

Today marks 1 year since the four Murgese boys arrived in Cambridgeshire - time flies!

We marked the occasion by taking lovely Parker out for his first ever day trip. Parker is a very laidback chap, but we do have to remind ourselves that they’re only 3/4 year olds (it’s easy to forget with their temperaments!)

He certainly didn’t disappoint, he loaded first time both ends of the trip, and went lovely in the arena with Fiona onboard 😍

These lovely boys are ❗️FOR SALE❗️so please do get in touch if you have any questions.

Let’s all just take a moment to appreciate 3 year old (soon to be 4) Patroclo… 😍

At home we have a square training pen where we’ve been doing all of his groundwork and a small bit of ridden work. We wanted to get Patroclo out to a full size arena to give him a chance to really move forward in trot, and to get him back out in the trailer. The trot was so good we also had a little canter too!

This boy continues to wow us 🥰

Another Patroclo update... he went on a hack with Rob Leese Horses on board and Pastrengo showing him the ropes! 🐴 🐴 🇮🇹

Thankfully we decided to get him out yesterday before the heavens opened ☔️ 🌧️, but it was still rather windy 💨.

Not much to report (which is always good news with a 3 year old) other than he was a very good boy! Not fazed by the traffic, bridge or noisy wind.

Don’t forget these lovely boys (not Rob and Carl) are for sale and looking for their forever homes 🏠. If you’d like more information about them please email [email protected] 📧

Patroclo is getting the hang of this very quickly🐴

Lots of upwards and downwards transitions, and plenty of trotting. Can you believe a three year old is this well behaved?! 😲
