Ponies

We have 16 ponies of different sizes at Bygdø Royal Manor. From the maximum category 1 pony to the very smallest category 4. Our ponies are out grazing here at Bygdø Royal Manor for much of the summer. The rest of the year they are used in the riding school.

Fly Fly (Mr Fly High) 

Breed: Danish Sports Pony
Year of birth: 2004

Fly Fly is a small super-pony and very popular here in the riding school. He is very willing to work - as long as there is no green grass nearby :) Then he prefers to eat and demands that the rider is consistent and strict with him.

Loke

Breed: Shetland Pony
Year of birth: 1994

Loki is a completely unique little guy. After many years of faithful service in the Riding School, Loke will now enjoy life's happy days at the Norwegian Folk Museum as a companion horse for the fjord man Solan.

Boy

Breed: Sports Pony
Year of birth: 1998

Boy is a beautiful little faux. He is progressing well and can do a lot. Boy is super kind, but can get a little scared at times. He thinks it's safest to go after another pony. Boy is very cuddly and has the world's finest braided mane.

Beauty

Breed: Danish sports pony
Year of birth: 2004

Beauty is our pony with the best stride. She knows a lot of dressage. She can be a little uneasy in the box when selling, but never naughty. Beauty jumps a little, but tends to jump a lot higher than she has to. A lady who is a little afraid of her legs, in other words. Beauty goes well with big and small riders and is a great teacher for the high school students in dressage.

Rosa

Rase: Welsh/Haflinger
Født: 2005

Rosa er ei nydelig blond hoppe de fleste snur seg etter. Hun har ikke det beste steget, men går godt frem og er superflink til å hoppe. Veldig kosete og søt på boksen.

Luna

Breed: Shetland Pony
Year of birth: 2015

Luna is the youngest man in the pack, but far from the bottom of the ladder. She likes to think she is the boss and most people have respect for this little fiery issue. Luna has learned a lot during the years she has been here. She has become super good at jumping. Luna is best suited for small riders who have ridden a little.

Mario

Breed: Sports Pony
Year of birth: 1997

Mario is the boss among the school ponies. He is nice and round, and many of the children think he is just as comfortable to sit on as a sofa. On the riding arena, Mario prefers to go to the back and look after his herd. Since Mario is so good to sit on, he is often used when we have vaults.

Sirius (Shooting Star)

Breed: Sports Pony
Born: 2001

Sirius is a beautiful white pony that is good both in jumping and dressage. He's super cuddly and kind, but doesn't like to be taken too hard in the mouth. Requires a sensitive hand.

Bolla

Breed: Shetland Pony
Year of birth: 2002

Bolla is a little super kind lady who is used mostly with the nuts. She has some asthma problems so she should not overexert herself. She actually takes care of that quite well herself - a leisurely pony.  She doesn't have the freshest kick, but kind as the day is long.

Solan Armod (Skeides Armani)

Breed: Fjording
Year of birth: 2008

Solan usually works away at the Norwegian Folk Museum where he is used as a driving horse with tourists. In the museum's off-season, he is a riding school horse here with us. He is of the big type of fjording and can carry heavy. Solan is very kind and honest, so he is used both for adult education and trail riding with small children.

Johnny

Breed: Irish Sports Pony
Year of birth: 2009

Johnny is originally from Ireland, but has lived in Sarpsborg for the past 2 years. He is a robust and strong little guy who can handle a lot of weight, but is still quite short. A category 2 pony. A super pony for children and young people. Johnny is good at both dressage and jumping and likes to take the lead on trips.

Star

Breed: Connemara Pony
Born: 2012

Kjekkasen Star is a pony with a lot of personality - and incredibly beautiful. Star is not fond of whips or things that flutter, but loves cuddles both in the stable and in the riding arena. Inside the box he wants peace and quiet so he will be sold and polished in the stable aisle. Is great both in jumping and dressage. A real star pony.

Uro

Breed: Nordland horse
Year of birth: 2009

Uro is of the Norwegian breed Nordlandshest. He is very cold in the head - can handle most things. Very conscientious. He is well schooled in both jumping and dressage. An incredibly kind guy who can go with all riders.

Brownie

Breed: Irish Sports Pony
Year of birth: 2011

Brownie knows a lot of dressage and jumps very well. He is primarily used in advanced courses as he is an alert pony that requires more experienced riders. An incredibly fun and rideable guy.
