"Heaven Sent"-Junior
Junior is an 18 year old bay TB. He is an ex-racehorse and has been owned by us for thirteen years. He is a great teacher and has "done it all." He can be ridden by anyone and is a total sweetheart however, he does make you work as a rider. He is mainly used in our lesson program and shows in the Dressage shows and flat classes. Junior's favorite treats are Natures Valley Honey & Oat Granola Bars! Junior is a very talented dressage horse and he also loves jumping at home.
"Willie Make It"-Willie
Willie is a 16 year old chestnut TB. He was bred as a hunter, converted to a jumper and ended up eventing with Steph. Eventing is his true passion. Although his dressage scores aren't usually the lowest of the division, he makes up for that in the jumping phases. He is currently competing at the Preliminary level in Eventing. Willie is a very bold jumper and for that reason is not part of our lesson program. He has a serious and businesslike personality and does not like kisses or snuggling, but he does like people who have treats!
"When in Rome"-Rome (2002-2007)
Rome came to us in March 2007 from Penn National Race Course but his time with us ended on July 4. He was a total sweetie and a super fast learner. In the time that he spent with us, he attended a paper chase, a cross-country school, and a dressage show and displayed tremendous potential. He will not soon be forgotten even though his time with us was short. He was bought for resale, but only a couple weeks after he came to us we were sure we would keep him. We will miss him tremendously. RIP
"Phoenix"-Marshall
Marshall is an 8 year old bay miniature horse and he has the most beautiful blue eyes. Marshall loves the attention he gets at our farm. He also loves being bathed and braided by the kids who visit because he gets lots of treats! Marshall gives lessons to our smaller students ages 6-8 that weigh under 80 lbs. Since he is small, he does have a weight limit. He is less intimidating to smaller kids since he is small himself and he loves the attention. He looks absolutely adorable in all of his miniature English tack!!!
"Glowing Charm"-Charm Owned by Linda Tanis
8 y/o 16.1 hh Chestnut Roan OTTB gelding. Charm came off of the track in November 2007 and has matured tremendously since he came to our farm. Linda and Charm have formed a close bond over the past year and Charm has really become a great horse. He's now doing a bit of dressage and jumping small courses, but his favorite thing is to ride outside of the ring. We found out that he loves paperchases and is brave enough to walk across a see-saw and stand on the pedestal during our Dutch Knob Paperchase in early October!
"Dakota"
Dakota is an 11 y/o 16 hh Bay Warmblood gelding. He will be used for instructing intermediate/advanced riders. He is very good out on the trail, but likes to get a little fast in the arena. We are working with him on that and he is getting much better. We are looking forward to taking him to some cross-country outings and events this year!
"Mickey"
Mickey is a 9 y/o 15.2hh Bay TB/QH gelding. He is new to the farm and will be used in the lesson program for all levels of riders. He is a sweetie and loves attention. He has shown in the Hunters and lower level Dressage and we are looking forward to taking him to some shows and outings this year!
