Meet the team

A black horse with a white marking on its face is lying down in an enclosed stable with wood walls and straw bedding.

Adam

Adam is our Welsh section D gelding, he is 16 years old and stands at around 14.3 hands. We have owned Adam for over 10 years, meaning he is a big part of our family, and we couldn’t imagine life without him!

He is super cheeky, very opinionated, and loves to push his limits, making him really fun to work with. Out of all of the animals , Adam is the one you’re most likely to find led down asleep in the field or stable. He even sometimes snores!

  • ‘No, actually it isn’t. His name on his passport is Brynrock Dasher. This fancy name is because he is a pure bred Welsh Section D, so his name is based on both his mum and dad’s. I have absolutely no idea where the nickname Adam came from, that’s what he was called when we bought him, and quite frankly, it suits him!’

  • ‘A few. He loves having his bum scratched, so he can sometimes slowly move his bum towards you when he is being groomed, as if to say ‘here please’! He also always manages to pull his fly mask off in the field, so you have to hunt around until you find it.’

  • ‘That would probably be between a good groom and going foraging for plants. He will stand for hours being pampered and he has a really good sense of smell so can always find all the tasty plans in the hedgerows.’
