Welcome new horses!






Lucky for the ranch, we've added two wonderful horses to our herd: Pistol and Sparkplug! 

Pistol is a tall half-Quarter Horse, half-Saddlebred, retired show jumper. He is an experienced lesson horse, and has blended amicably with his new herd-mates, Gemini, Blackjack and Trixie. He bears an uncanny resemblance to Black Beauty, which I'm sure will make him popular among the girls this summer!

Sparkplug is a young Paint, full of energy and intelligence. Sparkplug is still early-on in his training, but is very gentle and has proven to be playful and have excellent recall. If you leave a halter or bottle or training stick lying around, be sure that Sparkplug will be galloping around with it in his teeth! He and Jonah (now 9 months old!) have been fast friends, and whinny to one another whenever they're apart. 

I hope you are all excited to meet these characters this summer! I know that with their sweetheart personalities they'll be the new favorites in the herd. 
Happy Trails!
