Our
horses,
your
buddies
while
you’re here (please, click on picture to enlarge):
|
|
Winny
is a pure bred 'Heavy Warmblood' and trained in English and Western Style. She is almost 17 hands high
which is very impressing when you are standing beside her. She is one of
our two "Elderly Ladies", very quiet, very calm and very
good minded. One of the best of our "Good Girls". |
|
Joey, the adorable Clown;
we got him at a very young age, and raised and trained him by
ourselves. Although he is full of beans and always comes up with
"wonderful ideas how to decorate the yard" (by
emptying the baerproof garbage bins, for example), he is a very
reliable and footsure horse under the saddle. |

Will
is not only the youngest
but also the coolest and most social horse we have.
He loves to be in the water (hippo), shares his hay with moose (in
winter almost looks like one himself); and sometimes you can find
him inspecting the garage or the shop for grain, or taking a walk
on the porch. Once, he even was close to enter the living room when
the door wasn't shut properly... |
|
Sara
She was pregnant when we bought her, and she gave us a wonderful
foal (Will). Sara used to perform at shows and knows "every
trick in the book". Even we can still lern a lot from her
about correct riding. Her good mind and sure footed gates make her
a most reliable trail horse. |

|
Cracker
After a long lasting hoof problem she is finally out of pain, and
becoming more and more a real happy horse. Because of her issue
she isn't trained too well yet, so it's exclusively one of us who
rides her (up to now). |
|
Diamond
is the leading mare of the herd. She is very smart and very well
trained in both styles, English and Western. She loves to learn
and is always open for picking up something new. |
|

|
| Smart
came to us together with (Sara and) Joey. From afar they've been
always looking pretty equal which sometimes still gives us a
hard time to tell them apart from each other. Smart
is very smooth and it's a joy to ride her.
|
|
Laddie
(not Lassie and not Lady)
is the group leader's horse out on the trails. And she does
an excellent and safe job. She even keeps other horses in the
group from passing her, if it's not plan of the ride.When we got
her she was almost impossible to catch, and very shy. Now, that
she has found her place, she became a bomb proof trail horse. |

Maple
(Nickname "Little Barrel")
came to us by coinsidence. Friends of ours had brought her
into our neighbourhood for sale, but the deal did not work out;
back then Maple maybe was more a princess than a horse (she
thought). We helped our friends out and picked her up from there,
gave her a mirror and a brainwash ("you are a HORSE"),
and traded her for a pig. She still is full of never ending
energy, but a fine and easy going buddy through thick and thin in
any kind of terrain.
