SWINGLETREE PONIES
| Horses | Youngsters | Pandur - Swingletree's Most Famous Horse |
It does not matter what size the horses are at Swingletree. They still take priority. Of course, the ponies do not pull the Mail Coach but as you can see from the pictures below they undertake all sorts of tasks. In most instances they are driven by Susan Townsend, John Parker's partner.
Here are a few, past and present:-
