23 yo POA: “Apache of Summerset” Gelding
Apache
Every barn needs a steady pony to teach kids the ropes, and Apache is our guy! As with most ponies, Apache can have a mind of his own, but deep down he is a sweet guy with a heart of gold. He's up for anything and has taken many kids for their first ride
7YO Chestnut OTTB Gelding
Blaise - Privately Owned
If we opened our own Jurassic Park, Blaise would be our main attraction! This handsome man came to us from all the way up in Wisconsin, and is a giant lap dog. Standing at 17.1h, he is a great horse for hunter jumpers and will definitely make you feel like you're on top of the world!
9yo Arabian/Paint Cross Mare
Callie - Privately Owned
Callie is a 9yo Arabian/Paint cross and is a fantastic all around pony who has a big motor and loves jumping and trail rides. Likes: food (literally any food!!), scrubby baths, and her herdmates. Dislikes: being in a stall, diets, and going slow.
18 year old bay spotted varnish roan Appaloosa mare
Cici
Cici ("C C" stands for Cookies and Cream!) is a tough little mare with tons of talent. She is a great western mount and neck reins like a champ, but throw an English saddle on and she'll happily bomb around a jump course or a dressage test. Out in the field she is the indisputable "boss mare," and takes care of her rider just as well as she does her herd.
Pony Cross "Corona"
Cora
Just as her name implies, Cora is an honest, sweet girl. She has impeccable ground manners and patience for days. She loves children and trail rides most of all. Cora can go Western or English and will happily take payment in carrots, apples or peppermints.
20yo (APHA: “A Special Caramel”) Mare
Dixie
Dixie has been there and done that. She knows her job and does it well. She may be slowing down in her old age, but she's still ready to truck around beginners and help them develop their confidence at the walk and trot. Every once in a while she likes to compete in our Buckle/Cup series.
17 year old OTTB
Doc
Doc is a 17H Off Track Thoroughbred who was famous in Pony Clubs around the Md area. He is perfect for intermediate and advanced riders who have goals for jumping. Honest and kind enough to babysit our younger riders, too!
12 year old sorrel sabino pony mare
Gemma
Gemma is a feisty little red-headed pony and one of the barn favorites! Once she trusts you she is a great partner for trails or small jump courses. She loves to be brushed and is very gentle with new riders, but for more experienced kids she can be a very fun ride!
16 year old Bay OTTB Gelding
H - Privately Owned
'H' is a jack of all trades. Trained up to 1st level in dressage, jumps anything you put in front of him, and can go western! Loves trail rides and cookies!
26 year old palomino Haflinger mare
Molly Bea - Privately Owned
Steady? Check. Sturdy? Check. Unbelievably adorable? Check!
Molly is a favorite among beginner students, with her fluffy forelock and comfy trot. On cool autumn days she'll truck you around all day, if you ask nicely! She is patient and kind, and just the right size!
18yo Hanoverian/Paint cross Mare
Stoli - Privately Owned
Stoli is an 18 yo Hanoverian/Paint cross who has traveled up and down the eastern seaboard with her Mom since she was 9 months old. She has traditional dressage training, and has done some low level jumping. Likes: treats, licking people like a dog, and puppies. Dislikes: being alone, diets, and snow.
5 YO OTTB Gelding
Sydney
Sydney is one of our youngest additions to the lesson program. At only 5 years old and 16h he is a very stocky baby with the brain of a schoolmaster. He teaches both western and english riders but will also happily stand around and snuggle all day!
