Moses has been with us just a few months, having joined Calvert Trust Exmoor earlier this year. He is 6 years old and stands at 14.1 hands high, and is a traditional Piebald gelding, although he has had a haircut which makes him look a little more presentable!

| Moses |
Before coming to join the team at CTE Moses lived in Ireland; he was broken to pull a carriage at 3 years old and soon started working as a taxi horse pulling a carriage around the city of Cork.
Moses did taxi work for just under 3 years; working in the city Moses has seen lots of different things and is used to a busy environment.
In 2015 Moses was bought over to live in England, he lived on Exmoor at a quiet farm. His new owners buy and sell horses for a living so this wasn't going to be a long term home for Moses.
whilst he was living there Moses was driven around the country lanes and over the moors; he says that it was certainly a lot quieter than the city life he was used to! Moses has also done some riding work and enjoys nothing more than a hack over Exmoor on a warm sunny evening.
In August of this year Calvert Trust Exmoor was looking for a new carriage horse to join the team. After looking at lots of different horses, Moses was chosen to come on trial and see how he fitted in with the rest of us horses.
Moses had a month’s trial where he was ridden and driven so he could get used to his surrounding and a bit of a quieter way of life. After Moses month of trial he decided to stay, and is carrying on with lots of training and work to get him fit for next year's season.
Moses loves lots of attention and enjoys been groomed and pampered, he even likes to give the stable staff a whinny first thing in the morning to say good morning!
We are sure once our centre guests start to get to know Moses in 2016 he will become a firm favourite and will be giving carriage drives here for many years to come.
