RIDING HORSES

CHIPPER

PONY-GELDING-17 YRS OLD-12.3 HH

Chipper is a cute large pony who seems to really enjoy being around little kids. He is kind and gentle and would love a kid of his own to teach to ride. He stands on the crossties to be groomed and has done great leading around our catch rider bitless. He is kind and forgiving and will make some family very happy!

KARTER

THOROUGHBRED-GELDING-10 YRS. OLD-16 HH

This is a special horse, with tons of potential. He is a stunning 16+hh 10 yro. TB with loads of personality. He is working with our trainer Tess who says at this point in his training he will need an experienced rider to bring him along slowly and patiently and he will be one amazing horse!

MELODY

THOROUGHBRED-MARE-19 YRS. OLD


This lovely mare had been through a lot before we rescued her from a killpen.  Unbeknownst to us, she had a birthing that had gone awry and left her with some severe damage.  Once in our care, she had a successful surgery! She and Misha were adopted in a home together but were recently were returned due to a divorce.  Melody has participated in a Christmas parade in our town and actually seemed to really enjoy it!  A home with an intermediate rider is preferable as she has not been ridden in her previous home and will need a refresher.

COMPANION HORSES

RUBY

THOROUGHBRED-MARE-10 YRS. OLD-15.2HH

This sweet girl arrived last fall after being bailed from a Louisiana kill pen with a group of Thoroughbreds (she did not come with JC paper or a tattoo). She was recently diagnosed with kissing spine so is looking for a home as a companion. She is great with others, is in the middle of the pecking order and has been turned out in both large and small groups and has never had any issues.  She is super sweet and very easy to handle. She is an easy keeker--no medication and is barefoot. She is great for the vet and trimmer and will soak up all of the love and TLC you can give her.
