Why Heartwood?

[Zephyr in the trees]Trees develop a hard, dense spine-like wood that gives the tree a solid foundation around which to grow; this core is referred to as 'heartwood'. The heartwood not only gives trees strength and longevity, but also the flexibility to be moulded by the elements. I chose the name ‘Heartwood’ because it represents my philosophy - that if horses are given a strong foundation, they will develop into adaptable, confident and respectful partners, enabling them to become extraordinary performance and pleasure horses.
