Meet the lesson ponies:
Jelly Bean:
JB is a 1999 model and probably our most famous pony. He has helped countless kids (and a few adults) catch the riding ‘bug’. He is amazing at reading kids and teaches them perseverance. Famous for giving them their first canter only when HE feels they are ready and often unexpectedly. He just seems to know. He started out as a pony just for my kids and now he can never leave. Worth his weight on diamonds!!
Raven:
Raven is a great pony fo
r those with a little more confidence. She teaches the kids to be determined. She is also one of the resident Mounted Games ponies. She is best suited to the lower levels but has attended Pony Club Nationals as a PPG mount. Many of our students have learned their mounted games vault on her. She also very much enjoys cookies!!
Kali’s Irish Fire:
Kali is a 13.2hh Conne
mara cross. She is a down to business pony not caring for cuddles she likes to get straight to work. She does beginner lessons up to jumping 2’6″. She has done mounted games but prefers jumping and field rides. She has taken my daughter to the winners circle at Pony Club Regionals and participated in Pony Club National mounted games competition (called PPG). She is a valued pony here.
Bug:
Bug is the sweetest bi
g fluff on the farm. He is a pure bred Canadian horse with a heart of gold. He is our newest addition and we just love him. He is very well trained and knows lots of things but also thinks it best to conserve his energy. He really enjoys trail rides and of course…COOKIES!!! We brought him in for some of our taller and adult riders to enjoy.
Occasional Lesson Horses
Lily:
Lily is a 13.2hh New Forest Pony owned by my daughter. She is primarily a mounted games pony but can jump up to 2′. She gets pulled in for the students ready for a little more speed. She enjoys trail riding, games, skijoring and chasing cows.
Copper:
Copper is a 13.1hh New Forest Pony. He is still a bit green and is on our sale page but he has such a wonderful personality we have brought him in for lesson on occasion. He is a super guy and enjoys mounted games, jumping and riding down the road.
Batman:
Batman is a super sweet and quiet horse. He is 15.1hh and 1/2 New Forest Pony. I have used him for cows, jumping, polo cross and skijoring. Even did a roping clinic with him where he was a super star. He is patient and kind. Love him to bits.
