The School Horses
We are extremely proud of our excellent school horses. With a selection ranging from ponies to drafts, our riding program can truly meet the needs of every student. All school horses are available for partial leases for students in the riding program.
Hope

Jaeda
Breed: Percheron
Age: 7 years
Height: 16 hh

Jaeda entered our rehabilitation program in August 2007 and is a valuable addition to our riding program. Her easy-going nature helps build confidence in new and experienced riders alike. This gentle giant is also the star of our vaulting and fitness riding programs. Ask about seat lessons on Jaeda to help you improve your balance, position and coordination in the saddle.
Jasmine
Breed: Quarter horse
Age: 5 years
Height: 15.1 hh

Jasmine is a beautiful mare with a quiet, calm and sweet nature. Jasmine loves to hit the trails, sort cattle, and chase cows. She has already been in the ribbons at our local shows, and she has a lot of potential!
Angel
Breed: Welsh pony
Age: 12 years
Height: 13 hh
Color: Chestnut
Angel is a little firecracker! She is a very well trained hunter/jumper, but she knows what riders she can try and take advantage of to steal a bite of grass, or cut the corners in the arena! She can be a sweet little horse, but she is a one tough cookie.
Hoshi
Breed: Quarter horse/Arabian cross
Age: 14 years
Height: 15 hh
Color: Bay
Hoshi is a well trained 'quarab' gelding. He does very well with riders at any level, and is an experienced show horse. Hoshi LOVES treats, and he will be your best friend for a carrot!
About Our Horses
We are often asked, “Where do you buy your school horses?” The truth is we believe the very best school horses cannot be purchased but must be developed and cultivated over time. It takes a long time for a horse to develop trust in the handler and the handler to develop trust in the horse. It takes even longer for this trust to extend to a new and unfamiliar rider.
Many of our school horses came to us through our rescue and have been rehabilitated before beginning training to enter our riding program. We believe that every horse deserves a 'second chance' and these horses can go on to teach us valuable lessons both in and out of the saddle.
