Meet our Super-Team
First, lets meet the School Horses:
|
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." |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
Whimsy
2014 Grade Mare
14.1hh, 1000lbs Red Dun Whimsy is our newer addition. She joined us in March 2019. Whimsy has since proven herself as a valuable teacher. She is our laziest horse, and we have a few fun nicknames for her pertaining to her lack of drive, but she is sweet, gentle and enjoys the kids. |
Now on to our Show Horses...

Dee Legend Continues

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! |

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. |
