Our menagerie consists of 20 horses of various breeds like mini Shetlandponies, Jorgalidiko's, Merens and Shire-mix, and 10 donkeys.

	KESSARAS Shire-mix, gelding, bay, d.o.b. 1989 Kessara is our gentle giant. Since he's of a certain age and has lost the sight in one eye he does not go out on trails that much anymore, but he is a great horse for lessons in the roundpen.
PARIS Merens-mix, gelding, black, d.o.b. 2003 Paris is purebred Merens, very goodlooking, and he knows it. He has a nice character, and maybe that is why he is the leader of our herd.
	PEAC-E mare, bay, d.o.b.2003 Peac-E grew up with Paris, though they look very different. She's a very sensitive horse, a bit insecure but very willing to please her rider. With the right encouragement she'll try do whatever you ask her.
EMMA mare, grey, d.o.b. 2001 Emma is a lovely ride. She's a no-nonsense horse, and literally very well-rounded.
	PHOEBOS gelding, white, d.o.b. 1999 If Kessera is our Obelisk, then Phoebos is our little Asterix. He's a feisty little horse with a lot of power and endurance. He's very good with children. Everytime he goes out he'll give you 200%.
SARA mare, grey, d.o.b. 2001 Sara is the quiet one. A slender horse that can do everything, and do it well. She's not a very cuddly horse, it takes a little time for her to make up her mind about you. But if she likes you, well, then a little smooch is not so bad after all.
	LINDA mare, brown-roan, d.o.b. 1998 Linda is a strong and calm horse, one of our weightcarriers. She's very good for beginners since she has a lot of patience. Every now and then she'll test yours, since she likes to have a little nibble of grass here and there.
ARIS gelding, bay, d.o.b. 1998 Aris is a nice little fellow with great endurance. He's always very happy to do his job, andtakes it very seriously.
	KRITI Jorgalidiko, mare, brown, d.o.b. approx. 1990 Kriti has a shy character. She is a very comfortable, calm and easy ride. With Kriti you are in good hands, just as Vera she takes care of you.
LUNA mare, piebald, d.o.b. approx 2003 Luna joined our herd last April. Most likely she was used as a carriage horse. She is re-schooled now to become a riding horse. Luna has a very mellow character, loves to get attention and is very willing to work for you.
	TANIA mare, red-roan, d.o.b. 2006 Tania is very cute and follows you around like a dog, curious about everything you do and very much wanting to be part of it. We have started some light training with her and are confident that she'll be a great addition to our crew.
MARILENA coldblood-mix, mare, chestnut, d.o.b. 2001 Marilena is a sweetnatured, strong horse.
	RAFAELA coldblood-Merens-mix, mare, black, d.o.b. 2006 Rafaela is the daughter of Paris and Marilena. She is a combination of her mothers strength and her fathers good looks. Training will start next year.
VERA Jorgalidiko, mare, black, d.o.b. 2000 Vera is a real Cretan horse. The Cretan horse is known for it's special gait, which is very comfortable. She is very gentle and will take care of her rider.
