Specialising in Friesian horses, Black Horses Ltd have spent the last 16 years building up a family of the most incredible Friesians who they take great pleasure in sharing with visitors. Located at Greenbank Farm in the lovely village of Cartmel, everything they do is about the horses - eat, sleep, breath and live Friesians. Internationally renowned, Tracey Alexander and her team give Friesians a home for life and they welcome you to book a 'Meet the Horses Tour' where they'll take you around the farm introducing you to over 14 horses who are either retired, working or rescued. You may get to see some being trained, ridden or groomed and you'll be able to feed them treats and stroke their wonderfully velvety noses - these really are the most friendly, people orientated horses.
For those wishing to learn more about the Friesian breed, why not book a half or full day 'Friesian Experience' where former president and director of the Friesian Horse Association of GB & Ireland (FHAGBI), Tracey, can impart her knowledge of the strict KFPS studbook, the training, riding and working of these magnificent horses and she'll tailor a day exclusively for you.
Meet the Horses Tours from £30 per person (1 hour)
Friesian Experiences from £100-£200 (3-6 hours)
