Meet the lesson horses
Cobalt aka Cobie
Cobalt is our dear sweet haflinger gelding. He teaches many of our adult beginners all the way through jumping courses. He is so friendly! He and his best friend Tut like to play hard and take each others blankets off in the winter..
Peter Pan aka Pete
Peter Pan is a stunning young medium Welsh Pony. We are currently developing him with an eye towards pony finals in Kentucky this fall with his kid. He also teaches lessons for our more advanced little kids. This is his kid loving on him and feeding him his grain.
Tinker Bell aka Tink
Tinkberbell is a small Welsh Pony. She teaches many of our brand new kids from their first time riding to cantering and even jumping! She is a beautiful pony both inside and out. We affectionately call her Stinkerbell, you will soon know why!
Augustus Gloop aka Auggie
Auggie is a grade medium pony who is worth his weight in gold! He has a long show record in the pony jumpers all over the country. He teaches many of our beginners as well and many kids have had their first canter and first jump on him too. He does take time out of the school during the year to continue competing around the country!
Conaire
Conaire comes to us from Reno Nevada where he was most recently a fox hunter, chasing coyotes all over the countryside. In the summers when he wasn't hunting, he was competing in the hunter derbies at the national level. We are so lucky to have this horse as he is still ready to step into the show ring at any time. Conaire teaches our more advanced riders.
Bravado aka Bravo
Bravado was given to us because of the care we provide our lesson horses. His previous owner decided she was too old to ride anymore and wanted to find him the perfect home. Bravo has competed through second level dressage and schooled third level. He is a fanstastic horse to learn advanced flatwork with and he can still teach beginners too. This is Bravado teaching Parts of the Horse horsemanship class
King Tut aka Tut
Tut had a hard start in life and found his way to a kill lot as a yearling. He was rescued, allowed to grow up, and trained. He has subsequently won tricolor ribbons on the local circuit! He teaches our more advanced riders how to jump and all of us how to laugh!
Knight Rider aka Kit
Kit also came to us out of the fox hunting fields in Reno. He is so versatile. He can teach our first lessons through jumping and horse showing. He is truly a saint!
