Cardiff Riding School

🎇Sparky🎇
Sparky is a 12hh skewbald gelding who was born in 2009 and has been with us since 2025. Sparky has a really sweet nature and is very friendly to be around giving his little riders confidence before they even get on . He is generally and very good quiet boy under saddle but he does like to keep his riders on there toes taking a few short cuts around the arena!
Sparky is a real character and has fitted in beautifully to riding school life 🤎
