Meet the team
This is Chloe, she is one of Olivia's personal horses. Chloe spends her days as a very easy-going trail horse for customers and her evenings being a barrel racer.
This is Spirit. He is a 13yr old Tennessee Walker. When he came to us, Spirit was very sick and skinny but with a bit of love and patience, he has turned into one of our best trail horses.
This blue-eyed beauty is named Chief. Chief about 12 years young. He is a rocky mountain horse. Chief is a great, smooth ride out on the trails and loves riding directly behind the guide's horse.
This is Callie. She is a 4-year-old Gypsy-Friesian cross. Callie is one of the only non-rescues we have. She is super playful and sure to steal your heart along with a kiss or two!
This is Daisy. She is about 15 years old. She is a great, easy ride out on the trails. However, in her spare time, Daisy is becoming one of our new show horses.
This is Dream, she is a retired barrel racer, along with being a member of Ponies of America. Dream now spends her days going on relaxing trail rides and grazing with her buddies in the field.
This is Sassy. She really lives up to her name, but don't worry you won't ride her. Sassy is a guide's horse. On her days off she loves to barrel race and sort cows! She is such a spunky, fun loving horse!
This is Angel. She is about 20 years old. She is such a love bug and is always so eager to hit the trails.
This is Dee-Dee, she is a 20 year old American paint horse. Dee-Dee is also Daisy's mom. We're very excited to see what all we can accomplish with her this year.
This sweet girl is Obsidian, or Sid. Sid is a 4yr old Friesian, also making her the youngest on the farm. Because of her age, she is not trained for the trails yet and will be a guide only horse while out on the trails this 2025 season.
Meet our newest herd members, Elvis a 19-year-old quarter horse (to the left), and Comet a 44-year-old appaloosa (to the right). They are both retired Tecumseh reenactment horses who were trained by TC performance horses. Now embarking on a new era, Elvis loves the trails, and Comet loves being a pasture pet.
