Meet Our Horses
Minerva
Minerva is our old "grand dame." She's a 26 year old Anglo-Trakehner mare (by Amiego, out of a TB mare). I've owned her since she was 18 and she is just priceless. She has taught me and so many others so much over the years. She has also been instrumental in helping me start this business. I could never say enough nice things about this mare! As of March 2009 Minerva is officially retired and living the good life! She welcomes anyone who wants to give her a good grooming and some treats while they are here for their lesson!
Sadie
Sadie is another one of my priceless horses. She was bought out of pity at an auction in 2002 and it's turned out to be the smartest thing I ever did. She stands a mere 14.2, and her breed? No one really knows. But she's turned out to be quite athletic and more talented than we ever expected! She is also our main lesson horse, she can do anything from packing around a total beginner, to teaching a more advanced rider lateral movements, bringing a horse truly on the bit, and teaching them more about jumping.
Sadie's Secret
Secret is by Littletree Born Supremacy, out of our mare Sadie. She is a joy to work with - she is smart and sweet and she seems to be the "I have everything under control" type - calm, cool, and collected.
Whisper
Whisper is Shawn Ratliff's new horse. She's a three year old Oldenburg mare by Sempatico out of a West Coast mare. She was lightly started under saddle in the Fall of '09, then had the winter off, and is just this spring going into real training. Watch for her at the local dressage shows this summer!
Amelie
Amelie is a four year old Haflinger mare. She had limited handling and training before she came to FHF in November '09, but she's so kind and so quiet - her training is really progressing and she's really learning to like people! She has been very lightly started under saddle and hasn't set a foot wrong. She recently foaled Radar, the mule baby pictured below! Amelie is also listed on our Horses For Sale page.
Radar
Lancaster
Lancaster is a 7 year old gelding by State of the Art and out of a TB mare. He is here for a bit of training, and will be offered for sale later this year. He would excel at dressage or jumping - he is a versatile guy who is as sweet as he is beautiful!
