I have 3 23 years old horses, 1 Italian double Pony (breed) Pony di Esperia "Felicitá" incredible for trekking in the countryside, 1 P.R.E. horse very good at Dressage (Doma Classica) an trekking "Brujo Antares" and 1 retiredLusitano "Brujo"
I also have 2 cat Angus (almost 4 year old) and Simba 5 years old, 3 very friendly dogs, Frostie (8.5years old), Calypso (golden 9 years old) and Kaisa (Caucaso Shepherd 4 years old). We love animals...
