Christine acquired Nigel in 2003 from a student of hers that was moving out of state and could not take him with her. The 13 yr old palomino pony was a bit of a trouble maker at the time and went to Rivers Edge Farm for some training and work as a school pony. The older kids found him to be a blast and the younger ones found him very challenging. Once he had more mileage under his belt he moved to Wedgewood Stables to be her family horse where he met Sera and Jubilee. When that farm closed they all moved together to Pleasant View Stables. Nigel seems very happy to be back at the Mooreland Equestrian Center and knew where he was as soon as he trotted off the trailer. Now Nigel is still the family horse, taking her kids for rides around the property or down the street. You can often see Christine riding him in the local neighborhood. A great all purpose pony who is great for walk trot lessons, jumping lessons and going to shows. He is also learning how to drive a cart. Nigel is a pony with just enough of an attitude to teach you how to do it right, but a solid disposition to keep beginner riders safe.  

Nigel does many of our beginner and intermediate lessons. His willing disposition makes him a perfect lesson horse for the beginning rider. He has a done that, been there attitude that makes him great for riding off the property. Look for him around the farm.

Nigel is a great pony for beginner to intermediate riders. He can walk, trot, canter and do low cross rails.
