THE PONYS AND HORSES OF HESTAR
At Manege Hestar we have a nice group of ponies and horses in many different sizes.
Our ponies and horses get daily turnout in groups in the paddocks, during the summer at our camp they stay in the field 24/7 and also get a 7 day break from riding. Our ponies and horses regularly visit the farrier, the saddler for a well-fitting saddle, they go to the dentist every year and also get a visit from the physio when they need one.
We always try to find good retirement homes for our older ponies and horses.
