Welcome

Welcome to our Web site!

This is where you can learn more about us.

Our family has been involved with horses and especially polo for three generations. Go to our History page to get a full story of our lives with our horses and exploits, including polo in Ireland and our links with some members of the British Royal family.

To find out more about polo and riding lessons and livery facilities, take a look at our Stables. Here you can find out information about the type of lessons we offer, and, if you send us your E-mail address, we can inform you of our rates. We specialise in private and semi-private lessons and small groups for hacking, and as far as possible try to keep riders of similar ability together, to make sure that our clients enjoy their riding to the full.

If you want to come to Malta for a holiday, including riding and polo, we can also arrange your accommodation for you, giving a range of hotels and guesthouses, to suit your requirements and your pocket.

To find out about horses we may have for sale, or about bringing your horse to Malta, go to Our Services page. We have the experience in transporting horses to our island from Europe and can help you with your paperwork and to find anything else you may need. We are now also in a position to assist people transporting horses to Libya.
