horses
All of our lesson horses are safe, well educated partners. They are all experts in their own right and have something to teach you. Just like humans, each horse is an individual, full of personality. We take the time to find the right equine partner for each rider based on a multitude of qualities
Emmy
Emmy has been with us for six years now. She is a 14hh POA mare and is approximately 10 years old. Emmy's previous owner rescued her as a yearling and has done a wonderful job giving her a second chance at life. One of Emmy's favorite things is to get brushed. She could stand for hours while the kids fuss over her! Emmy is also a fabulous jumper and gets really excited once the jumps start to get a little bit bigger. She does the odd lesson but recently has become Jen's main competitive mount. She has loads of potential and a fun personality.
Ivy
Ivy is the newest addition to our lesson team. She is a 20 Oldenburg mare. She is 15.2hh. Ivy has been around the block in her day and still has lots of pep left to teach new riders the ropes. Ivy has done some dressage, trail riding and has more recently learned to jump. Don't let her age fool you she is raring to go. She's a kind sensible gal who loves to get out for a ride and is game for a little bit of anything.
Katniss
Katniss is the newest addition to our herd. She is now almost 5 years old, and has recently begun her training using only Equitation Science methods. Although a warmblood she is a little small in stature at 14.3hh compared to the average one. That is because Katniss is a twin. Her sister's name is Roo and lives across town. Its very rare that both foals survive so I'm hoping that gives her a little extra special quality! Right now she can walk & trot under saddle in both the ring and hacking out. She's in no hurry to grow up and decide what she wants to be, for now she gets to learn and grow at her own speed.
HERBIE
Herbie is our youngster on the farm and is full of shenanigans! He's got quite a cool story in his short little life. Herbie came to us Dec 2018 after being found at a nearby ranch harassing their mares and destroying their fences. He was a feral pony colt on the range. After lots of searching, no one claimed him as their own and now he has come here to learn how to be a civilized pony. It has taken lots of hours of building up trust, but he is now getting the hang of life on the ranch. He is now halter broke, loves to be brushed, and is learning how to lunge and wear a saddle. He has an excess of personality; he's always up to something and you can count on him to make you smile
