MEET THE HORSES
All of our lesson horses are specifically selected for this program to facilitate students' learning. Their differences in discipline, skill set, personality, and more offer individual learning opportunities. Read below to find out more about them!
Cargo
~Retired~
"Sigs Double Cargo" is a 1991 Appendix Quarter Horse gelding who is very experienced at giving lessons! He has an extremely smooth jog and lope. Cargo also knows tricks like lying down. Since he is older, Cargo is mainly used for lighter riders.
Peachie
Peachie is a 2007 grade palomino pinto. She is intelligent and quick! She competed in California Gymkhana Association shows for several years and is very in tune to her handler's energy. For this reason, students get a chance to ride this girl off the line once they have an independent and balanced seat.
Sandy
Sandy is a 2005 grade Quarter Horse mare. She is on the lazier side and is a great confidence builder. Sandy teaches people to use their energy effectively to get the response they are looking for.
Lance
Lance is a 2010 Percheron Paint gelding. We use the mounting block to get on this one! Lance's personality can be described as sweet and attentive. He tries hard to please his humans. Although he's a big guy, he is an athletic mover who helps students learn and understand body control . He also knows how to do several tricks such as kissing and laying down.
Blondie
Blondie is a 2003 grade Miniature Horse. She is too small to ride, but she excels at teaching little ones and students who are nervous around the bigger horses. Being so cute, Blondie often has to put up with garland, ribbons, and glitter when we take her in parades.
Larry
"Larry The Lark" is a 2005 registered Quarter horse gelding. Larry is sweet and friendly. He has had show experience in English and Western pleasure, equitation, horsemanship, and trail.
