About the horses

Paddy (the black one)
is a 13 year old gelding. Probably a Fell. He's 14.3hh with lots of personality and a broad (wicked?) sense of humour. He's used for RDA, where he's a star. Out on hacks is another story though! Pet hates include pigs, cattle and garden ornaments. He's done well in local competitions and is a demon over cross country.The Ridgeway will be his swansong, after which he gets to take it easy (although he may have a different opinion!).
Ryscheyed (the grey)
is a 14.2hh, 8 year old Arab gelding. He's a real muck magnet and a typical Arab. Occasionally a bit of a drama queen, he often looks to Paddy as an example, which can be interesting. He is bred for endurance and has a spectacular turn of speed (and a hell of a buck), so the ride should be a breeze for him.
