Nan is a lovely Quarter Horse mare who is a Palomino color, with a very sweet disposition. She is about 12 years old, and is one of the favorites at the barn. Watch out, however, she can swish her tail with extremely good aim!
RC is an Appaloosa gelding, Leopard in coloration, 19 years old. He is our largest horse at about 15 1/2 hands. He is also our most lovable, with an endearing personality who loves everyone he works with. (In addition, they love him back!)
Mocha our most lovely black Welsh pony, he is a gelding who looks like the Black Stallion in every child’s dreams. He does not know he is a pony, and we dare not tell him otherwise! He is most courageous and loves his job with TROT.
Please welcome Jake, who is our newest addition, at about 10 years old. He is a Shetland/Welsh pony who is certain that he is in charge of the whole world. Very confident, he makes a great addition to our herd for the youngest and smallest of our riders. He is very people friendly and always looking for a treat!
Brother is another POA pony, larger and stouter than Poncho, he is chestnut with white markings across his hindquarters. Also a gelding about 12 years old, he is quite mischievous and is certain the world revolves around him. With his riders, he is calm and quite aware of their balance, a wonderful addition to TROT.
Shanna is a Half Arabian mare, about 12 years old. A wonderful partner for any rider, she is always mindful of her rider’s balance and takes extra special care of our TROT riders.
"The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and fire." ~Sharon Ralls Lemon
