8/1/23: THREE new Horses have been posted! Look for the NEW tag next to their names!
MYSTI'K (pronounced Mistique) was born in 2008. Male or Female rider, results are the same. She is entirely too smart, has a very Human personality, & a Teenager "Tude"! Very Sassy with her siblings. She NEEDS a bold advanced rider. She can take up to @275# and over 2 hrs it's @250#. BE AWARE, she's VERY Lazy & Bratty most of the time. & determined to snack excessively !
She is the 2nd Horse excused from working in Hot/Humid weather.
Equipment Color - Yellow
Nickname - BratZilla
The Father of Mysti`k, POWERSTROKE - is nearly ONE-TON (2,000 pounds), 1999 model Percheron (a full draft breed). Stroker was a Stud (that's how we got Mysti`k) & has been gelded since Nov. 2008. He has a pretty gentle/slow nature - BUT, a Very BIG Powerful Trot !! He has an intelligent & mature mind, & is agile for his size. He can be ridden by an Adventurous Adult rider. He occasionally gets Food Brain & is LAZY. BUT, as you are sitting 6 Feet in the air - he is not for everyone. Stroker has the hardest time in Hot/Humid weather & is the 1st to be scratched from working in it. He can take riders up to @275# for 1 hr & over 1 hr - it's @250#. In 2024 he's well into Senior years and as such is semi-retired. Usually he will not ride more than 2 hours per day.
Equipment Color - Orange
Nickname - BigFoot -or- JackHammer
NEW! Bobby was born approximately 2014 and looks to be a Haflinger cross (which is a smaller draft horse). He is very smart and a little ornery. He is two handed or "English" rein currently and is learning one handed or "Western" rein. He can be a bit bouncy at the trot, but is easy to post if kept at a slow trot. Best with a Assertive Novice rider as he likes to snack if given the opportunity. Carries 250#, over 2 hrs - 225#.
Tack Color - Black & Silver
Nickname - Loki
NEW! Ranger was born approximately 2012. We think he is possibly a plantation style TWH and he is gaited. He is sweet and sensitive, but can be a little bullheaded at times. At this time he is still in training and is a Wrangler horse only, he just came in late April 2023.
Tack Color - Two Tone Blue
Nickname - ??
IN SUMMARY ...
Only a few of the horses are easy for a Nervous or Novice Adult/Teen rider at this time (less than 10 hours riding), the others are better with Bold/Assertive or more Experienced riders.
No more than *FOUR (4) guest riders* at a time. I am hoping to get 1 or 2 new Horses in 2025. The sooner the better!
COWBOY - is an old style heavier built, 2003 model, 3 gaited Tennessee Walker. He can carry riders up to @175# for 1 hr & over 1 hr - it's 150#. He is semi-retired and is part time, usually he will not ride more than 2 hours per day.
He is notoriously stubborn for trying to stop and eat along the trail, instead of just snacking. He does best with an experienced or very assertive rider. He is also a bit grouchy near his siblings - but really likes people, & has a lovable 'Big Dog' Personality.
Tack Color - Dark Green
Nickname - DingDong
HOT SHOT - is a 5 gaited, 2001 model, Tennessee Walker. Rider limit @175#. & over 2 hrs - its @150#.
He's a little 'Squirrel Brained', but does very well with Novice riders giving mixed signals. He detests mud, a bit of an Eater on the Trail & also can be sassy with siblings.
Tack Color-Black & Brown
Nickname-Dopey
BLACKJACK - Retired !
- is a 1997 model Tenn. Walker, & after 16 yrs of service is retired.
Tack Color - Dark Blues
Nickname - SweetPea
SUPERMAN was also born in 2008 and is a Gaited Cross, Tennessee Walker and Belgian (and has a beachbum's brain). Suitable for most bold novice riders at this time. Carries 225#, over 2 hrs - 200#.
Tack Color - Mint Green
Nickname - Surfer Dude
NEW! Thor was also born approximately 2014. He is a Tennessee Walker possibly crossed with draft and is gaited. He is very sweet, personable and extremely sensitive. He is still young and will act up if overloaded with too much input/nervous energy from the rider. Best for a Advanced/Uber rider with a calm confident nature and light hands. Carries 200#, over 2 hrs - 175#
Tack Color - Purple
Nickname - Thor the Friendly Dragon
