Meet Our Horses...

Casper is the pretty boy in the crew.  He is the head of the herd.  He seems to compensate for his compelling good looks with a gruff attitude towards his fellow herd mates.  He will steal your heart and keep you safe on the trail.  He is completely at ease in the country as well as the city.  He has trained to work in downtown Atlanta.  He has also completed a 25 mile race in 2 hours and 20 minutes saddle time.  He is the best all around horse in the herd.

Casper has trained many a rider to  enjoy the best of the horse world.  He is used to take horses with little experience through the woods and city as a stable leader in the field.  He runs the herd and acts as the master of all things in his space.  We expect him to be a front line horse for the next 13 -15 years.
 

Sugar is all things sweet.  She is the elder lady of the community.  Sugar has told the girls their place in her family for years.  She is a great friend to new riders and experienced hands alike.  She protects those riders in the field from all the difficult situations that may arise.  She crosses rivers and streams, urges the younger horses to follow her, and assumes command at every turn.  She has taught riders and horses the finer southern charm of an elderly lady.

Sugar is the best woman for a new rider.  She has given many the most even tempered ride of their lives.  She is near the end of her working career.  She has been working in a low intensity situation for the last year.  She acts as the teacher, mentor, and strong matron of a truly fine partner and friend.  She will work for the rest of her life.  We allow her to keep good company and strong leadership in the right situations.  Sweet Sugar is the best friend anyone could find.

Sunshine is a fine pony size horse. She is a veteran of the program with very little riding time. She has found a sponsor who has taken her training schedule to be an important part of her visits. This is a young horse finally getting a job. She will be a great competitor. She is a strong mare with a winning attitude. We firmly believe she will be a strong competitor in the 25 mile endurance event.

Sunshine is going to be cross trained as a cart pony. She is stout enough for the work and has the temperament to carry her companions all day long.

Trigger is a fine Arabian given to us from a generous Covington family. He is currently undergoing extensive field training. He has come a long way since beginning his training. He is a fine horse with a great future with our organization. In the future, he is going to be a stout competitor with a winning attitude. He is going to be used for our more experienced sponsors. 

Trigger can work with our larger sponsors since he is broader than a number of the horses in the program. He has overcome many training challenges in a very short period of time. We believe he will be a 50 mile competitor.

Romeo was donated by a generous family. He is one of the few horses to enter our program with virtually no bad habits of any kind. He was a winner on the first day of his arrival at the ranch. He is half Arabian and half Spanish conquistador. He has the easy slow trot of all the horses in the program. He can carry a larger size client long distances very comfortably. He is one of our front line horses. He teaches his riders the fine art of field work regularly.

Romeo was named for his gentle disposition and his gracious manners. He is currently taking riders for long rides regularly. It is easy to fall desperately in love with horseback riding after riding this fine competitor.

007 was purchased at auction in Covington. He is truly the international man of mystery since he was purchased from a horse broker. Like his namesake, he is a lady’s man. All the woman visitors to our program adore this small guy. He has worked numerous outreach events in the community offering rides to over 40 children in a four hour period. He is the most reliable pony under saddle in the program. He is used for both pony rides and introductory lessons at fairs and festivals.

He will be the first pony to be cross trained to a cart. He is particularly stout for his size with a strong desire to be the man of the hour. He is currently working with children between 9-12 years old.
 

Peter Pan, Peter Pan is a miniature horse.  He was donated by a generous local family.  He is a small guy with a history of introducing hundreds of children a year to horseback riding.  He has performed at fund raising events, public functions, and charity venues for our organization.  He is a fully functioning trail riding horse for the younger set.  He teaches children from 6-8 year olds the beauty of riding.

Peter Pan acts like the biggest tough guy in the herd.  He talks more smack to the big horses in the crew than any other horse.  Every new horse member has to watch this true competitor challenge his position in the herd.  He loves the ladies and takes his tough guy image seriously.  We know he is a true gentleman to his riders.

Napoleon, Napoleon is the newest member of our growing family.  He is a leader in the field at this early stage in his career.  He is a leader in the field and works hard to set the pace for his new family members.  He is half Arabian and half pony.  Napoleon is a tough guy in a smaller stature than his fellow horses.  He is a strong competitor with a gentleman’s persona.

Napoleon is going to work with both small stature adults and older teen students.  He is shows great leadership in the herd and in the field.  He is going to be the finest limited distance competitor with a shot at the full distance event.

Cossack comes from a background of severe abuse from his former owner.  He visited a generous supporter’s family of mares and yearlings for the winter.  He is a fine competitor with years of experience in the field.  He has been with us for over 8 years and he has extensive experience in the field.

Cossack is finally home.  He is a fully trained sweet guy with a willingness to compete with any horse in the herd.  He has been a true love bug for years.  He has taken to following the stronger willed horses everywhere they go.  He is a pleasure to ride and a great friend to all those around him.
