Ace - 2000 Spotted Saddle Horse gelding

Ace is owned by Steve, but used on our trail string. He is a solid trail horse.

Ali - 1987 dark bay registered Paso Fino gelding

Ali is Margaret's baby. 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, but leased by Ashley. 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! He's recently started showing at the local jumper shows and is doing quite well! Ashley is looking forward to showing him this year!

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.

Doc - 1992 chestnut QH gelding

Doc is a great trail horse - as long as he's not the last horse of the string (he thinks there are monsters behind him if there's not a horse there). We tried to teach him some things down at the lesson barn, but soon determined that Doc's forte was walking on the trails.

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...

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?

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's down at the lesson barn learning how to go in the ring after being a trail horse for the last couple of years. So far he's showing a lot of promise - might have another lesson horse in the making!

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!

Joe - 1985 palomino 15.3h ASB gelding

Registered Name: New Attitude

Joe was a stallion until he was 9, and while his ground manners are perfect, he does fancy himself a bit of a ladies man. He is owned by Joel and was shown by him in Natural Mane and Tail classes for many years. Joe has a nice relaxing retirement life these days, spending his days grazing and bossing around Annie.

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, but has proven to be a great asset to the trail program in his later years.

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

Kodiak Cassanova is owned by Vicki (not the same one who owns Ivory). He's a great boy with a super comfy canter. So far we're VERY happy with him in the lesson program!

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.

Moses - 1984 black AQHA gelding

Registered Name: Boston Moses

Moses came to us as "Spook" and started out in the lesson barn. He was a great lesson horse for a couple of years, but then was retired to the trail barn. He's proved to be an excellent trail horse, but due to people's fears of the name "Spook" (we promise, he's a really good horse), we changed his barn name to Moses.

Patrick - 1997 bay QH gelding

Patrick is one of our trail horses, and seems to really like his job. Doesn't he have the sweetest face?!?

Pixie - 1993 Arab cross chestnut 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 easy to get to move on. 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.

Red - 1997 chestnut Mountain Pleasure horse gelding

Red started out on our trail string at 3 years old! He's been going strong ever since and actually gets his feelings hurt when you don't use him. He doesn't actually like to gait that much, but he sure likes to trail ride!

Roo - 2003 dark bay 14.2h QH mare

Show Name: Russian Roulette

Roo has a canter that is as easy to sit as a walk and her jump is great for her age. We've moved Roo up to the trail barn, in hopes that some time off from the lesson ring will help her out.

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 to hopefully be shown this summer. The two years up at the trail barn really seemed to help her out. She loves to jump!

Smokey - ~1988 unknown breed gelding

Smokey just came to our farm, with his buddy Cody, from friends of Margaret. He has lots of experience with 4-H, so we are looking forward to adding him to our trail string.

Street Car - 1996 grey 15.2h SB/TB gelding

Street is owned by Danielle, but occassionally 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, 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 him out of work. He's a much loved addition to the lesson barn with his smooth gaits and great jumping ability. He's showing very well in the local jumper shows in both Novice and Lows and is starting to get called a "packer"!

Tucker - 1998 bay 14h pony gelding

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. Plus, he can jump higher than his belly :)

Zippy - 1982 chestnut 14.3h AQHA gelding

Registered Name: Peppys Comet

Zippy is a great lesson horse. While he's a little on the lazy side, he has a great canter take-off and is usually the second horse that people canter on. He can still go over jumps, but we usually keep them under 2' because of his age. In his life prior to Keezlenutten he was a barrel horse!
