| This is "Cowboy". He is a 22 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 the famous "Toby". He is just an awesome horse with lots of stories to tell. He is about 17 years old. He has a great personality except at the time to saddle - then he might try to nip at you. Someone must have been mean to him when they put the saddle on. He is for the beginner or the intermediate rider. Most of the time a beginner can't get him to move very fast. One time he was sliding off a cliff but managed to hang on long enough for his rider to get off. He ended up sliding down the cliff and ended up with only a little scratch. |
| This is "My O My". He is also about 23 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 "Smokey". He is another old guy - probably about 23 years old. His owner rode him in parades and did lots of neat stuff with him. He is a great horse with lots of personality. He is ready to lope whenever anyone wants to but he is still real gentle. He was in the parade when President Bush was first elected. "Smokey" may be old but he rules the paddock, everyone waits for him to get to his bucket before they go to eat. |
| 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! |
| This is "Vick". He is another old guy! We are guessing that he is around 28 years old. He had a really hard life as a ranch horse before he came to live with us. He is very gentle and will try to please you no matter what! He really has a heart of gold! He sort of has a sideways lope because of a previous injury. Anyone can ride "Vick" because he seems to know if the rider is afraid or if they want to go fast. He may not be the most comfortable horse to ride but we just love him because he always tries! |
| This is "Low Down Duke". He was given to 4-C Stables to be used for the kids. His owners didn't have time for him and wanted him to go to a good home. He is very handsome and is a very nice horse to ride. As you can see he doesn't really have any concerns! He can be ridden by beginners and even intermediate riders love him. Stacey takes him on trail rides and is going to try to teach him to rope. |
