meet our horses

Brea is one of our most special lesson horses! She is a 28 year old Standardbred Mare, registered as "Royal Flies Home". Any person of any age or confidence level can ride Brea and feel safe; she always looks out for her rider! Being miss-reliable, she has done riding and therapy lessons for many years, and has taken part in 4H as well. We often get asked if Brea is sick because she makes a snoring sound when she breathes. Don't worry; for her, it is perfectly normal!!

Meet "Whiskyjack Pepic Twist" better known around here as Pepsie, our most famous pony!! Pepsie is a 23 year old welsh pony gelding. He is a calm sort of guy who doesn't get worked up over anything (unless treats are involved!) He is a great lesson pony who will safely and quietly carry any rider, but he does not work hard for free! Pepsie will wait for the rider to really ask him to work before he trots or canters. We often hear that he is stubborn.... but actually we would say that he is just a little bit too smart!! Pepsie has done a little bit of everything, but is awesome at barrel racing and has shown a talent for jumping as well! He is well known to the kids for our "Meet a Pony" sessions and gives hundreds of pony rides every season.

Regina is a 28 year old Appendix mare. This means she is a cross between a quarter horse and a thoroughbred. She spent her years as a lesson horse at Hope Mission before coming to our barn.Regina has a quick but smooth canter and still enjoys going out for trail rides and working. She is slowly but surely figuring out how to trot cross rails, even though she is used to the jumps being on the ground!
