Ali - 1987 dark bay registered Paso Fino gelding

Ali belongs to Margaret. He is a great guest horse on the trails and has super smooth Paso Fino gaits. He was a stallion when he was much younger, for a short time, and sired two colts, one of which is still standing at stud.

Buddy - 1998 bay with blanket 16.2h ApHC gelding

Registered Name: Haley's First Copy

Buddy is owned by Vivian. He was originally known as Bubbie, but due to a Bubba already on the farm we changed it slightly to avoid confusion. Buddy is a great intermediate and advanced lesson horse. Extremely well trained and a great jumper. Plus, he has loads of personality!

Codigo - 1996 chestnut Peruvian Paso gelding

Codigo is an adoption from the Crossed Sabers farm. He came to us severely foundered but with the help of one of our farriers, Mike, he is now sound and a kid-safe guest horse on the trails.

Copper - 1996 chestnut APHA gelding

Copper started his career shared between the lesson barn and the trail barn. After noticing some stiffness we had the vet look at him and he was diagnosed with hock problems and moved to the trail barn. He loves the trails and is often chosen for parades and off-the-farm trail rides because of his brave attitude.

Dancer - 2003 grey Appendix mare

Show Name: Dancin' In the Rain

Dancer is Abby's horse, but she is becoming a lesson horse favorite quickly. She's got a great mind for her age and is a lot of fun to jump! Abby is looking forward to showing her again this year in the Novice Horse division of the jumpers and moving up to Children's/Adult.

Dell - 1998 chestnut AQHA gelding

Dell is Shana's horse. He came from Hunter's Edge Horse Farm and we're hoping he fits right into our lesson program here. So far, he has proven very sensible in his new home.

Dusty - 1988 chestnut 14.1h AQHA mare

Registered Name: Skippin In Saw Dust

Dusty has the smoothest trot, for a non-gaited horse. She's very sweet and is often found in beginner lessons or as a bareback mount for the older riders. While her walk and trot are perfect, her canter and jump do leave a little to be desired...

Finnigan - 2002 chestnut 14.3h QH cross gelding

Show Name: I'm Your Huckleberry

Finnigan belongs to Lisa. He has very smooth gaits for a large pony/small horse and seems to be a real quick learner. So far he seems like he's going to be a great match for Lisa and a fun addition to the lesson program.

Flicka - 1992 bay with blanket 15.1h App/? mare

Show Name: Primadonna

Join the debate in what Flicka is crossed with. We're pretty sure it's Arabian, but who knows?!? She came to us as a trail horse, but due to her "inability to play well with others" (aka doesn't like horses right behind her) she has moved down to the lesson barn. We had no idea what to expect out of her, but she sure seems to like jumping! She has been very competitive at the local jumper shows!

Gandalf - 1988 grey 16.2h DWB/Selle Francais gelding

Gandalf has a rocking horse canter with some really nice lead changes. While you definitely have to stay on your toes (actually deep in your heels) while jumping him due to his occasional "over-rounding" (aka cracking his back) he's a talented boy. Before coming to Keezlenutten he showed on the "A" circuit in the working hunter division.

Holiday - 2002 bay 16.1h TB/Clydesdale mare

Show Name: Fighting Gravity

Holiday belongs to Joel and Danielle. She's a powerful jumper who seems to definitely enjoy it! Super smooth gaits and a great mind - what more could you ask for? She has started showing in the Schooling division and so far is doing quite well.

Hopie - 2001 chestnut 16.1h AQHA gelding

Registered Name: Hopie Arwen

Hopie is a big baby that would love to be your pet. His gaits are great but his size is amazing! Neither his mom or dad were anywhere close to his height! He has proven to be a great intermediate lesson horse, and will hopefully become a good beginner horse as well.

Isabella - 1995 chestnut 13.3h registered Paso Fino mare

Isabella is a very smooth gaited trail horse. She's the second choice for Margaret for a trail horse. Tends to like being at the back of the trail cause she has "issues" with horses too close behind her.

Ivory - 1987 16h leopard Appaloosa gelding

Show Name: Man of la Mancha

Ivory is owned by Vicki but used in our lesson program. He moved here all the way from Utah! He is proving to be a great addition to the lesson program with his very willing attitude and super sweet face!

K.C. - 1978 chestnut with blanket ApHC gelding

Yes, you did read that year right! While K.C. is not in his prime, he's still a great boy! K.C. is a sure footed, solid trail horse. He definitely had some good Western training earlier in his life. We've moved him down to the lesson barn so he can get more frequent feedings since he doesn't have many teeth left. He seems to really enjoy being a flatwork horse for my beginner students, and he actually has more energy than most of the other horses!

Kodi - 2002 Appaloosa (can't you tell?!??!) gelding

Registered Name: Kodiak Cassanova

Kodi is a great boy with a super comfy canter. He's on the lazy side, but very capable once you get him going. He's great for teaching kids to jump since he's so quiet and the more advanced riders can get him around a course of fences whether in the jumper or hunter ring!

Lexus - 2002 Hanovarian/TB mare

Lexus is Amanda's horse. She's quite a handful, but Amanda has already shown her in the Novice and Low divisions at some local jumper shows. Only a few people are able to ride her, other than Amanda, but she's a very talented horse.

Nemo - 2003 TB cross gelding

Show Name: Just Keep Swimming

Nemo is a new addition to the lesson barn. He is still pretty green, but we are hoping that over the winter he will settle into the routine and become a regular in the lesson program by Spring. He's a cute mover and seems pretty brave to the jumps so far.

Patrick - 1997 bay QH gelding

Patrick is one of our trail horses, and seems to really like his job. Though he does require some steering on the trails - watch out for your knees! Doesn't he have the sweetest face?!?

Pixie - 1993 chestnut Arab cross pony mare

Pixie is one of our trail horses. She's a great size for a small adult or child and seems to like the easy pace of trails.

Polly - 2001 black QHx 14.1h mare

Show Name: Polly Wolly Doodle

She's a great little pony that is already working well with my intermediate and advanced students. She likes to jump and she's very competitve in the jumper arena with her speed and quick turns. And no comments about her ears, I think they're nicely proportioned to her head size!

Ranger - 1989 bay TWH cross gelding

Ranger is owned by Carlyle, but used on our trail string. While he doesn't always get along with others in the paddock, he is an excellent trail mount. Tall enough to carry our bigger riders, but reliable enough to put just about anybody on.

Razzle - 1985 chestnut 15.3h AQHA gelding

Registered Name: Ole Mans Forecast

Razzle is the lesson horse that has been here the longest. He's a perfect horse for people to learn to canter on, as he's great on a longe line. His past involved lots of showing in the Western Pleasure arena, and every once in awhile he'll still demonstrate a lope.

Ruby - 2003 chestnut 15.1h DWB/QH mare

Show Name: Strawberry Twist

Ruby has moved down to the lesson barn and is back in work. Joel has been starting her back to basics, to hopefully improve her manners under saddle and over fences.

Sage - 1999 bay 14.3h Paso Fino gelding

Sage is Margaret's new trail horse. He is very calm and easy going with a super smooth gait. After her very long search, she is happy to have found such a nice boy!

Street Car - 1996 grey 15.2h SB/TB gelding

Street is owned by Danielle, but used in the lesson program. He is a fun horse that definitely loves to go. Currently competing in the Schooling division with Danielle at local jumper shows. While his ground manners leave a lot to be desired, he makes up for it with the most honesty to the fences around.

Taffy - 1979 take a guess at the breed mare

Taffy could be any number of different breeds. She has a few small paint spots, a dun stripe and a black mane and a blond tail, plus she gaits! While we don't know what breed she is, we do know we love her! Taffy is our unofficial farm mascot when it comes to visits off the farm. She has traveled with us to schools, parades, festivals, camps, etc.

Timmy - 1996 chestnut 15.2h QH/TWH/App gelding

Show Name: Tiny Tim

Timmy is full of personality. He started out as a trail horse, but soon discovered that he could be cranky enough to get out of work. He's a much loved addition to the lesson barn with his smooth gaits and great jumping ability. He's really a "packer" for students who are new to showing in the jumpers!

Tucker - 1998 bay 14h pony gelding

Show Name: All Tuckered Out

Tucker is Lisa's pony. He's VERY cute! Quite possibly the laziest horse that we've ever ridden, but worth the work cause once you get him moving he's very smooth in all his gaits. This summer he moved up to the trail barn and has been really enjoying his new job. Since he's so good at following he fits right in up there!
