Lesson Horses
Penny
Penny is a 18 year old grade Paint mare with two beautiful blue eyes. She is very gentle and versatile. She can go from a loping lesson to a lesson with a small child. With the smaller kids, she is careful to trot slowly for them and won't trot for them until she gets the okay from me! She is such a smart and sweet girl! She has been one of my lesson horses for 6 years. She has been used in 4H and out on the trail.
Lacy
Lacy is a 18 year old Quarter Horse. She is a natural when it comes to dealing with beginners which probably comes from the fact that she came from a dude ranch. This mare is versatile but is great at teaching riders to sit deep in their seat when slowing down because she likes to stop quick!
Jax
Jax is our newest horse. He is a retired reining horse and is currently undergoing his trial period.
Hooligan
22 Year Old gelding with two blue eyes. He was supposedly a lesson horse a few years ago and is now just getting back to work in our program. He is a cute little gelding standing maybe 13.2 hands with a peppy go getter personality. He has a jarring trot but a nice smooth lope. He is always checking pockets for snacks and loves to get into the toys in the arena just like Ole!
Theo
Theo is a sweet gelding who is 18 years old. We use him with the younger riders to work on steering and beginning trot. He has a quiet demeanor but will start nibbling when bored. We bought him and Marley together and they are best buds.
Monte
He is a 22 year old grade gelding who is versatile by doing walk, trot, and lope lessons. He is another one that is bombproof, and easy to steer. He is perfect for any level rider but got to be careful as he constantly tries to rub his head on his handler.
Amos
This small gelding came to us after spending 6 years in a sale barn. They used him to move cows through the sale yard. He is easy to steer, has a pep in his step, and loves to trot. He is a great horse for those riders needing a little more speed but need to spend more time working on their trot.
Marley
This large girl is unique- she is half Halfinger, quarter quarter horse, and quarter Percheron. She has just recently started lessons and is currently with our more advanced riders. She is sweet and energetic.
Samson
Samson is our big gentle giant. He is the tallest of the lesson horses at 16.2 hands. He is in his 20s and does great as a confidence builder. He has a great steady eddy personality and floaty trot. He enjoys attention and belly scratches.
Heidi
Heidi stands out with her mane and her cool color. She is our fjord that is 22 years old. We use her with those riders who need a solid base and a slow steady mount.
Lucy
Lucy is the youngest of the herd at 17 years old but that isn't the only thing that makes her unique - she is also a Tennessee Walker. She can be a little pushy on the ground but loves to move out and do her running walk. Plus she is as sweet as can be. Her favorite thing is cuddles from the little ones.
