Break the rules"Maverick" is a 16.2 bay OTTB gelding born in 2010. After six years on the racetrack, this horse knows how to get around the jumper ring. With wins in hunter derbys, Marshall & Sterling classes, equitation, and even leadline classes, there isn't much this horse can't do. He's easy enough to pack a kid around in any ring, but has the scope and heart for a junior or adult rider to compete in the higher classes. Maverick has a brain and heart like you wouldn't believe. He loves kids and always helps his rider. You'll always see those ears perk forward once he has his eyes set on the jump!

Betting Blue"Wally" is a 16hh grey Hanoverian born in 2008. He's all business when it comes to horse shows. As the big marshmallow, he takes his job very seriously in being the little kid's cuddle bug outside his stall and a true competitor in the ring. Wally has a mile long record in the hunters and eq, including championships from some of the biggest shows on the East Coast. We're so lucky to have this fancy boy on our team!

Shimmering Forest"Forest" is a 2007 chestnut thoroughbred gelding. Him and his owner, Nora (one of our trainers), moved down to Florida at the end of the summer of 2021. He loves to teach our beginner and intermediate riders how to ride on their own and how to jump! Forest is as cuddly as he is kind and can always be found with his head out of his stall, waiting for treats!

DMF Dream in blue"Stella" is a 13.1hh chestnut roan Welsh cross mare born in 2016. With great bloodlines from her dam, Benlea Laureate, and her sire, Blue Fox, she was born for the hunter ring. Stella is a triple threat with the model, hack, and jump for the Pony Hunter division. While she is still in training, we are excited to see all that she accomplishes in the next few years! The Walnut Ring calls her name!

Southern delicacy"Belle" is a 2012 14.1hh sabino Welshx. This little mare has moves that proves she can hold her no matter who's on her back. Belle has taken kids through their first leadline, walk/trot, crossrail, and pony classes. She's as kind as she is pretty, which is impressive since we think she should be a Breyer model! If there's one thing she likes more than a hug, it's food. Beware - all snacks are in danger while around this pony!

Revel in chaos"Riot" is a Selle Francais that made the journey over to the states about a decade ago. This french bred superstar is a force to reckon with in the jumper ring! While you can typically catch her showing off her talents with Nicole in the irons, she does make a couple special appearances with some of the little kids.

Crusin' Blue"Cruz" is a 2009 Oldenburg gelding from Germany. Previously, he competed in the 1.20m jumpers and has extensive training in dressage. Now, you can find Cruz teaching our students the ways of the hunter/eq ring. With all the buttons, this is one cool horse! He'll take his applause in the form of attention and treats, though.
