A Rich History

Marianne McLeod’s deep connection to Pinchona is rooted in her own history with horses, having brought her beloved half-Arabian horse, Ali, to the farm in 1979. With Colonel Morris’s guidance and training, the farm has maintained its passion for horses and dressage, fostering a nurturing environment that encourages both horse and rider development.

The farm serves as a memorial to many rich equestrian legacies, including those of Colonel Morris, who continued to conduct training until he passed away at the age of 92. His love for the sport, evident through his decades of contributions, is celebrated at Pinchona, reinforcing its position as a sanctuary for riders of all backgrounds and disciplines.
