About to start the mammoth task of sorting and cleaning tack ahead of next week’s second hand tack event.

Today I pulled out the Icelandic saddles (most of these suit any native/cob type breeds very well also)

Good quality leather, well oiled and cared for over the years.

Please note some may need re-flocking.

Makes available are Keith Bryan, Kaymar, Goertz and Stubben.

Mainly 17’’ (some of the older style ones around 17.5’’)

Medium, wide and extra wide sizes.

Our Icelandic saddles will range between 150-400 (+postage) depending on condition.

Anyone interested, who can’t make it next week, send me a pm and I’ll get a detailed list put together over the weekend and work out postage.

Please note there will be more (and other makes) available on the day, as other people have also booked spaces for their own.

🌟 Keep the date…. 🌟

The 30th of June will see us host a large ‘tabletop’ style second hand tack event.

🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Loads of second hand tack will be available in the indoor court at Pentland Hills Icelandics from 11am-3pm.

There will be a large collection of second hand bargain buys including saddles (Icelandic and normal), headpieces, reins, nosebands, stirrups, Icelandic stirrups, stirrup leathers, bits, girths, rugs, numnahs, brushes, boots, halters, haynets, etc etc…

Specifically interested in Icelandic saddles? Then we will make a list and advertise these beforehand, just incase you can’t make it on the day.

If anyone is interested in purchasing a space for their own used items, they are more than welcome, just make sure you pop us a message to pre book and we can arrange this for you.

Our own proceeds will be going towards a hay shed and tack room upgrade

Today we had some sad news from a friend who had one of our mares, to say that she had passed away.

Eisa from Pentland Hills was a huge character and one who I will always remember very fondly.

Daughter of Gerður and Svanur, she was a smart, bold, fiery and strong minded red head, always leading the young gang wherever they roamed.

I remember well when she would try to split me and whoever I was riding, off from the ride when I was trying to lead the treks over the moor that they were reared on.

She was a strong character but an absolute joy to work with.

When it came to training she was always one step ahead and definitely put me through my paces, she taught me a thing or two and for that I am very grateful!

She had one foal with us, Moðnir. I do remember being so relieved when we saw that he was a boy 😂

She departed from here 9 years ago and went off to live her best life with a friend of ours up north.

She quickly became part of the family and enjoyed helping with their beekeeping….or munching her way through her own body weight in honey at least.

Eisa from Pentland Hills, always a wild flower and a very beautiful one at that.

Rest easy girlie

Looking for somewhere to allow your young horse to grow up and thrive in a natural environment?

Situated near Carlops, at the foot of the Pentland Hills.

We have a few spaces available in our ‘pre school area’ for young native type horses.

A wonderful, large and natural area where they can learn herd manners, how to tackle natural obstacles, muscle up and forage for a variety of natural plants with minimal human interference.
The main trunk road above also allows them to get used to traffic without them even noticing.

All the while preparing them for a successful start when training begins.

If this is something that you would be interested in then don’t hesitate to send us an email for more details.

Day 1 of school for 3 of these guys. All born and raised here.
Never even seen a saddle, let alone been sat on before.
Always nice to know you’ve done a good job setting them up in a trusting and positive manner.
