Which Horse Would You Buy? 🐴

Back in Ireland for another fantastic trip to see my friends at Ardeo Sports Horses, the yard where I bought my beloved Wilma! I’m so grateful to still be able to visit a few times a year and ride some of the gorgeous horses they have on offer. Not only is it always an absolute blast, but riding a variety of horses really helps me with my confidence and overall riding ability.

In this video, we’re having a bit of fun with a simulated horse shopping day! I’ll take you through some of my top tips when it comes to buying horses, and of course, Neil and Mel from Ardeo are on hand to share their expert advice too.

I’ll be riding four beautiful horses in this video, and to switch it up, there isn't a single grey, every single one of them is chestnut! 😅 What are the chances!

If you're in the market for a horse, all of these beauties are actually for sale, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with Ardeo Sports Horses. And, if anyone’s feeling generous, feel free to help me fill my barn with a lot of chestnut horses (I’m serious, I’m obsessed with them!).

Hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to visit Ardeo and make sure to stay tuned for more horse shopping fun...
