Lesson Horses:
Baily is a lovely bay Thoroughbred mare who was born in 2013. She had a year off, and now she is back to work in the lesson program.
Bentley came to the farm as a project horse for Mrs. Sheridan and after working with him some we decided to use him in the lesson program. He is a 16.1 hand TB and was born in 2001. He has now been in the program for years and we just love him. Bentley has one of the more challenging trots and jumps. He is very bouncy and will test your leg position. He does have a fantastic canter and is very sweet!
Buddy is a black quarter horse gelding and a favorite among the beginner lesson students. Born in 1997, Buddy has years of experience imparting the love of horses. He is a steady guy!
Carter is a sweet young gelding who is already nothing short of saintly! He is an easy guy who loves to 'cart' his students over fences. We all love him already.
Champion is a grey Selle Francis gelding who is currently on lease to one of our lesson students. While he may be a little looky, he is amazing over fences if you keep a good leg.
Colonel is a bay thoroughbred gelding born in 2008. Colonel is suitable for our intermediate lesson students.
Dylan is a 1997 Quarter horse and is 16 hands. He loves to jump and is one of the favorite school horses for many of the students. He is still jumping over 3’6” fences and will do his lead changes for anyone. He is easy enough for a beginner rider to enjoy but exciting enough for the advanced riders as well. Dylan has gone to many shows competing in equitation classes and jumper classes.
Espirit is a 15.1 hand 2001 Thoroughbred. She has a trot that feels like you are floating on clouds and a dream of a canter. She came to THF straight off the track and when you ride her you know why she didn’t make it as a race horse. Espirit is gentle, kind and a little slow. She is very willing to please and loves to jump. Since her time at THF she has been to many shows and has won the students lots of ribbons.
Fancy Pants is a homebred Irish Draft Thoroughbred cross. She is actually Finesse's sister. She is an extremely good jumper with amazing bravery and speed. We like to say that she is "allergic to wood" because she does her best to never knock a poll.
Finesse is another homebred mare. She is used for our more advanced students. She offers the experience of a more powerful jump to our riders.
Frankie is a 1996 Hannoverian and is 16.2 hands tall. He is the gentleman of all horses. He carries himself around like he is wearing a suit and tie. He has the most comfortable canter of all the horses and when you ride him it is like sitting on a couch. He competed as a Jr Hunter in his day and still jumps around 3’ like there is nothing to it. His trot is smooth but springy. Frankie can sometimes be a little difficult to catch in the field so you better bring a treat.
Gilly is a small quarter horse mare who was born in 2005. She is a good pony who loves to jump. Her stride is a bit choppy, but she is loads of fun.
Gizmo is a black pony who positively loves to jump. He has a large jump and is great fun for all our students.
Hannah is a 1995 Quarter Horse who is 16 hands tall. She came to THF for one of Mrs. Kim’s students and when the student needed to move on to a horse to do jumpers, she became a school horse. Hannah has choppy gate when you ride her but is very pretty to watch. She jumps amazing and her knees are in perfect form. She also goes to lots of shows and has won more that we can list.
Jenny is a 1997 TB mare. She is 15.3 hands tall and came to THF in 2007 from Fair Weather Farm in Maryland where she was a school horse. Jenny doesn’t like to be left in the cross ties and will move around a lot when left tied, however when she gets to the arena she is in her element and knows what to do. She is easy off the leg and loves to jump. Jenny has gone to many schooling shows and loves to win ribbons.
Jet is a small black pony who is a barn favorite. He is wonderful with the beginner lesson students, and has taught several how to jump.

Magic is easy to make go, smooth in her gaits and stays on the rail very nicely. She is kind and sweet. Magic is another one that many students learn to how to canter for the first time on. Although we get asked all the time if she is pregnant Magic is not having any more babies. Magic is Diablo’s mother.

Max was born in 1998 and stands 14.1 hands. He is a black and white pony that was purchased for one of Mrs. Kim’s students. Max was ridden by all the kids in the family and when they out grew him he became a school horse for THF. Max is a jumping machine. He just loves his job and has gone to many shows competing in equitation, hunters and jumper classes. Max has a bouncy trot and a big canter stride for a pony.
Mercie is a 1998 American Warmblood and is 16.2 hands tall. He was purchased by accident. One day at a show, the owner was having trouble because Mercie doesn’t like to jump the water jump and Mrs. Kim said he just needed a new job and the owner said “what will you give for him?”. It was the best purchase ever and Mercie has been a wonder school horse. He can jump big courses and has gone to many more shows to compete in Equitation and Hunter classes. Mercie is a little slow and it takes some strong legs to ride him.
Mocha is a 1995 16.1 hand thoroughbred. She was also owned by a family at the barn and when they needed to move up to a different horse so Mrs. Kim got another good school horse. Mocha has competed in many shows from eventing, equitation, hunters and jumpers. She is a forward thinking horse in a good way and makes very nice turns in the jumper arena. She takes a rider with a calm leg and good upper body position.
Molly was born in 2000 and is a very cute, easy pony to ride. She has been at THF for many years and started off with one of Mrs. Sheridan’s students. When she went up for sale the barn purchased her for a school pony and we are very lucky. Molly is smooth, easy to make go and loves to go to the shows. Molly went on the show circuit one summer and traveled to 5 different states competing. Molly can jump 3’ even though she looks small.
Money is a Quarter Horse Thoroughbred cross and is 16.2 hands tall. Money was born at THF in 2006. He was a surprise when we purchased his mother as a school horse and found out she was pregnant. Money started teaching the day he was born and was a project during summer clinic one year for all the students to help break him out to be ridden. He is now a seasoned professional and has done very well at “AA” competitions. He has a canter like glass and a perfect eye to the fence.

He is going to make a great lesson horse.

Pride was started here on the farm with the help of Cheyenne and also has gone to many shows, both schooling and “A” shows. He loves to jump and is also good on cross country jumping. Pride can be a little strong and is usually ridden by the older students. If you have a chance to ride him he will teach you about having an outside rein.

Shooter is a 1996 15.2 hand Quarter Horse who came to THF many years ago with a student of Kim’s. He was a ranch horse at the student’s grandfather’s ranch and they decided he could learn to jump. And did he ever learn to jump! He loves to jump and is a school horse that will teach you confidence. He is also very good on the trails. Shooter is easy to spot because he has a short tail.
Sinbad is a 2004 paint quarter horse pony standing 14.1. He was a rescue horse that was treated for mange when he was younger. Once he was healthy Kim purchased him and began to work with him to become a school horse. He is a little quick and jumps great. He teaches students to use their seats and to work on the pony gallop. Sinbad is still not trusting around his head and you must earn his trust to put a bridle on him. We feel lucky to have given Sinbad a wonderful home.
Star was born at THF in 2000 and is a Cleveland Bay. She is one of the largest school horses standing 18.1 hands. She has always had a wonderful temperament and was schooled when she was very green by many of the advanced students. She started off showing in the hunter arena and then moved on to do jumpers going as high as 4’. She has been leased many times over the years and gives all the students the experience to ride something very big. Once you ride Star everything else seems like a pony.
Stetson is a 1995 black Welsh gelding standing 15 Hands tall. He is a jumping machine and was at the barn when Kim and Dale purchased THF. He was owned by many students over the years and has taught them to ride and won many ribbons for them in the equitation classes and jumper classes. Kim purchased him in 2014 and he has been a wonderful addition to the school program. If you get to ride Stetson, you should be ready to have fun jumping.
Sterling is a grey TB gelding with an amazing jump. He is a favorite with the lesson students because he is so willing and forgiving over the jumps.
Surprise was born in 2001 at THF also and is the foal of one of our passed school horses Sadie. She too is a Cleveland Bay and is the half-sister to Star. We were hoping Surprise would be a pony but she has grown just like star and is now a horse, but she is only 14.3 hands. She is a beautiful mover and wins the hack at most shows. She also has a “10” jump but you will learn to keep your heels down to stay with her. She doesn’t care for the riders to pull on her mouth and is sometimes hard to catch but you will have fun riding her.

Toby is a fabulous hunter gelding who is currently leased to a lesson student.
