Ardeo have been lucky to have “Trees on the Land” assisting in the development of our new site to provide the horses with natural shelter and windbreak from the weather as well as enhancing the scenery with native trees.

Kilguilkey International
We made the trip down to Cork with Ardeo Arctic Wolf for his first FEI event in the CCI2*-S at Kilguilkey International. He was impeccably behaved throughout.
