The Herd
Hay Hey
Hay Hey Go in Spirit (Hay Hey for short) is a fourteen year old standard bred former racer. She stands 15+ hands and despite her sweet temperment with people, she doesn’t put up with nonsense from the other horses. Hay Hey’s favorite treat is unshelled peanuts and she always wants a scratch on her cheeks.
Nothing but Daisies
Nothing but Daisies (Nothing for short) is a mid-teens mix breed who is a bit camera shy, but always up for a lesson or a trail ride. She is a tough cookie and doesn’t let any of the other horses push her around. As soon as you let her out of the stall and runout, she finds a sandy spot in the pasture to roll around and scratch her back.
Tulsa came to the barn in January 2024 and quickly became a favorite of all our students because of her outstanding gait and responsiveness in the saddle. Although she can be a bit pushy on the ground, she’s slowly learning her manners. Tulsa’s favorite past time is taking a nap after supper in the corner of her stall in the breeze of her fan.
Tulsa
Takoda
Takoda is 10 year old gelding with grullo coloring who belongs to the Mullins family. This big boy came to the barn in August and quickly climbed the pecking order. He loves to ride the trails with his mom and is partial to apples and carrots.
Chief
Chief is a small, but fiesty gelding owned by the Hewlett family. As the only male in the herd, Cheif takes his protective duty to heart. He loves his grass and hay and often is found with strands caught in his fetlock or hanging out his mouth. Chief’s favorite thing is to run the barrels with his girl, Chandler.
Popcorn
Kernel
Popcorn and Kernel are minis (mother and daughter) who are mischievious and frequently find themselves tangled up in vines and brush as they let their curiousity take them into unchartered territory. Although they’re small, they both view themselves as equal to the big horses and are vocal about being left behind when the others leave for the trail!
