Meet our ponies

The pony ranch has a friendly herd of ponies. Each pony has its own story. Let’s introduce them to you: 

Nellie
Nellie is our smallest Shetland pony. Don’t underestimate her; she knows what she wants! Nellie is perfect for the little ones: lots of cuddles and grooming! Kids can also ride her.

Jojo
Jojo is a large Shetland pony, used to compete, and is now perfect for kids who want to learn a bit more.

Bjorn
Bjorn is a Fjord, super sweet for kids, and perfect for mini lessons.

Jimmyboy
Jimmyboy is our small Tinker. He’s from Ireland and has massive feathers and a tail. And watch out! He has the biggest mustache in the Netherlands.

Tim
Tim is a true tough Tinker from Ireland. Tinkers are also known as Gypsy horses. He’s 18 years old and stands 1.42m tall, though he looks bigger due to his build and feathers. Even the smallest can ride him! Tim and Tessa are best buddies.
