Meet our Super-Team
First, lets meet the School Horses:
|
Shiloe
2005 Grade Paint Mare
14.2hh, 1125lbs Chestnut Shiloe has been with us since 2012. She is our biggest superstar. She is great with all ages and one of our regular sights for our Littles. Shiloe is one of our most popular school horses. Her canter is probably our roughest, but the kids don't mind because of how steady she is. |
|
Anaya
2004 QH Mare
14.2hh, 1050lbs Bay Anaya came to us in March 2020 as a wonderful gift from a friend. Her past includes trail riding, cutting and roping, and her future is helping teach new and advancing riders in lessons. Anaya is super sweet, gentle and kind, and loves attention. |

Linc
2004 Paint Gelding
15hh; 1050lbs Chestnut Tobiano Linc was purchased from a client in Spring 2021. He is a super sweet, good minded gelding. |
|
Smokey Joe
2005 Paint Gelding
16hh, 1100lbs Bay Tobiano Smokey Joe is my moms horse who also gets to join lessons when needed! He is a super show horse, but enjoys getting out and being a lesson horse sometimes. |

Curry2009 Miniature Horse Mare
36", 500lbs Red Roan Curry (Previously known as Fawn) is a recent addition. She will be broke to cart, lead-line and eventually ride independently. Curry is super fun to have around and is really enjoyable to work with. Curry will be used for Ground Skill lessons with kiddos, lead-line, and ground driving. |

Tucker
1997 Pony Gelding
11.2hh; 550lbs Bay Tucker is my sons pony, but my son loves to let others ride him in their lessons. We use him for our 0-8 year olds who need a good solid pony to ride. |

15.3hh, 1075lbs Bay Tobiano Cadbury joined me in June 2020. He is my up and coming all around show horse. I use him to help teach my more advanced students the art of teaching a young horse. |
Last but not least, our Up and coming projects!

Digby
2018 Grade QH/Paint Gelding
Red Dun Digby is one of our up and coming lesson horses. We will most likely show him as well. Digby was bred and raised here (his momma is Foxy) and has been shown in 4-H for 2 years now. He qualified for state fair in 2019 as a yearling and did well! |

In Memory...

Aspens Honour
October 1992 - October 2018
Aspen was one of my first "all mine" horses, that I bought at age 12. She was spicy, sassy but so much fun. She was my rock, my solid ride, my crazy red head, all in one. She was there through almost all of my life stages. I miss her every day and thank her all the time for all the lessons she taught me. She is the reason I do what I do. This red head was a one of a kind horse. Her legacy is left in how I teach, what I teach, and also in her son, Auzzie, who continues the legacy by teaching all the next generation of riders. Something his mother NEVER would have done. She was not a fan of anyone riding her that didn't know how. But she loved people fiercely from the ground. |
|
Top Cut Hickory
1992 - 2012
Hickory joined us in 2009 as our first official Lesson Horse. Now, we had lesson horses prior to Hickory, but he was our first official "school" horse purchase. He was a 17 year old, amazing gentleman. He was a diamond, and he trained a LOT of kids to ride and gain confidence. Hickory was a once in a lifetime horse, that we were so very lucky to have for even a few years. He really shaped our program and shaped a lot of young lives. |
|
Chief
1996-2018
Chief came to us around 2016 as a wonderful addition to our program. A friend called and asked if I could utilize her husbands retired gelding, and after some discussion, I agreed. The first time I met chief was swapping trailers at Deadmans Pass rest area in a snow storm. He spent the next few years touching so many lives. Chief suffered from arthritis and Navicular, which eventually became to painful to live a comfortable life. Even now, kids will bring up Chief and everything he taught them. |

Jaz E Joker aka "Joker"
April 1, 2013 - January 10, 2020
Joker was weaned young by his breeder and brought here at 3 months of age. He was an immediate favorite for all the kids and adults running through this barn because of his cute face and gorgeous looks. Eventually is was his Joking personality. He was an April Fools baby and boy did he live up to that reputation. Joker suffered from Advanced Navicular. It was a devastating diagnoses that left everyone here very shaken and very solemn. Joker is very missed. He had a lot of accomplishments in his short life, and touched more people than I realized in his short time here. |
|
Auzzie
2007 Grade QH/Paint Gelding
15-15.1hh, 1200lbs Buckskin Auzzie has been with us from his birth. He is great with beginners, very patient, and our smoothest loper. He tolerates our Littles but prefers our 8+ crowd. Auzzie has PSSM but that just makes him that much for "made for the job." |
|
Foxy
2001 Quarter Horse Mare
15hh, 1150lbs Blue Roan Foxy was a kill-pen rescue. She has pedal osteitis in her front feet and arthritis in her hips. We keep her on medicine to keep her comfortable and we use her for our Littles ages or our nervous nelly adults. Foxy is walk/jog sound only. |
