| This is "Cowboy". He is a 26 year old Arabian. He may be older but he is very spirited and has lots of energy. He loves to run on the trail and enjoys the playdays at the Cowboy church. He is for an intermediate rider because he can really move. He came to live with us at 4-C Stables because he wasn't getting good care where he was. He loves treats and his favorite friend in the paddock is "Cheyenne". |
| This is "My O My". He is also about 24 years old and is just as spunky as the young horses. He is a retired show horse that won lots during his career. He is usually only ridden English and loves to canter around. He is for intermediate riders. "My" has such a beautiful face and is so gentle with people - however, that is not the case in the paddock. He is mean and tries to run everyone away from their food! He lived in a stall for most of his life and when we let him stay outside he looked like he was in Heaven! He hates having to go in the stall now! We usually only put him in when the weather is nasty! |
| This is "Brad". He is a very special horse because he survived cancer. He had to have his left eye removed but he is doing just great! We were lucky enough to get "Brad" from a family that didn't ride him anymore and wanted him to have a nice home. He is wonderful to be around and the kids love to ride him. It is a bit hard to look at him without the eye at first but then when you see what a wonderful personality he has you forget about it! Brad is about 20 years old and is just a SWEET boy! |
| "Cheyenne" is one of our top lesson horses. He is a 20 year old appaloosa gelding that was donated to us by someone that couldn't take care of him any longer. He is great to ride but very smart and will often test the more timid riders! He doesn't do anything mean but sometimes he just wants to walk and it is hard to change his mind. He is one of the leaders in the herd and is always pushing the others around. He looks out for his pal "Cowboy" and makes sure that they get buckets next to each other! Other than that he is a sweet boy and is known for his mustache! |
| "Deke" is a great guy for beginners and intermediate riders as well. He is owned by the Walser family and they let us use him for lessons to keep him fit. He is somewhere around 25 years old. He acts like a youngster with the other horses and plays a lot! He had a hard life before he come to us - as is evident by the scars on his body! He is a very sweet guy and loves his job. |
| This is "Thunder". He is only about 8 years old. He was used as a camp horse for several years and then we bought him. He is now owned by the Boykin family and they also let us use him for lessons. He is a great guy but we mainly let the more advanced riders on him. He is half arabian and is full of energy. |
