Current Horses
Brodie, or SR Mistaken Identity (AQHA) is a 2001, registered gelding. Big and handsome, Brodie's been a great horse to have. He is currently part-boarded by Karen and they seem to have a great love for each other. Brodie is very much a been there, done that kind of horse and pretty easy going.
Sock's past is also a bit of a mystery as he was also purchased from Grunthal auction spring of 2014. This 12 year old gelding is only 14.1hh, but has tons of stamina and can easily carry a large adult. Though broke to ride he had some major holes in his training. He has been a challenging, but fun horse to work with. Nice slow jog, and super smooth forward lope, Socks always seems to have energy and once you have his respect he will give you 110%. Cheryl showed him this summer (2015) and hauled him out to a trail ride. Socks is a horse that loves to have a job to do, and has been used to herd horses and ponies, fix fence, and really enjoys obstacle courses.
Missy (Smart Lil Maximus) is a 2005 AQHA mare. Cheryl rode and showed this horse when Missy was 2, so when she came up for sale we couldn't resist her. Though Missy has had some trouble, injuries and such she is still a lovely well bred mare. She is in foal to Echos Amos Hollywood for a second baby in 2018 that we are very excited about. Super sweet, Missy loves attention and seems to enjoy kids. Missy has been a great addition to our lesson program.
Dusty (Poco Dusty Ratchett) is a 2010 APHA solid bred mare. Currently in foal to Echo Amos Hollywood for 2019. Purchased at a fall Grunthal auction in 2014, we saw a lot of potential in this horse. Very good minded and a fast learner we have been pleased to add her to our herd. She has quickly become one of the main lesson horses. Dusty is a nice big chunk of a horse, she has to work at it, but can have a lovely jog and lope. Not much fazes this horse and we have been impressed with her good attitude.

Bailey, Grade mare, sold to the same wonderful home as Rosie.
Drifter's past is a bit of a mystery, we purchased him from Grunthal auction in the spring of 2014. He appears to be about 13, and is a very nice gelding. Though broke and safe to ride from the beginning, he certainly needed a bit of refinement in his riding skills. Super nice horse to ride, he has developed a lovely jog and has a very natural smooth lope. Drifter has been shown and attended a Rother Horsemanship clinic in 2017.
