Spot

Spot has been around awhile. I've had him since he was 3. He is 23 this year. He's so good around the kids. I look forward to him being their first riding teacher and hope he'll be around for many more years. We are actually looking to start offering beginner lessons with him. I've got a bunch of old saddles to restore for this. We've both volunteered in therapy riding previously and he's perfect for it. He's semi retired for the moment and will just be helping me start Tik-Tak and going on short rides here and there.

This stunning 3 year old is probably the most intelligent horse I've ever met. She is an Akhal-Teke which is a pretty rare and amazing breed. She's very good for her age and sweet as can be. I'm looking forward to start ground driving her this year in preparation for riding in 2026.

The background pic at the top is her, but just the product of her being present when checking saddle fit for Spot. She will not be a part of lessons and will not be ridden this year. She was a very good sport about the strange new things on her back, though. Great training experience for her.

Spot again above. Sweet and calm as can be with kids. She was only up there for a few minutes. Most of that with me right next to her. I only backed up for a quick pic because it was so sweet.

I am working on getting more lesson stuff together. I think we're almost ready, though. I have several kids saddles that all fit him reasonably well they just need cleaned up, restored, and some safety parts replaced or added. We have helmets in every size. We still need a couple saddle pads, probably a longer cinch, and some smaller brushes for little hands.
