Sheba embodies the term 'quality over quantity' in everything she does.

A beautiful, strong feminine energy radiates from this beautiful lady. As she is getting on in years, she carries only the lightest riders.

Nova is our cuddle bunny – she loves attention. Her crumpled ear is due to ticks collecting in her ear as a youngster and damaging the cartilage. It just adds to her character!
