Meet our Magnificent Herd

A horse herd is more than just a collection of animals—it’s a community, a family, a beautifully dynamic group where every member plays a role. Our herd is filled with personalities that shine, quirks that entertain, and spirits that inspire. With each horse, there’s a story to tell, and we’re thrilled to introduce you to them all—including our newest, tiniest addition!

Maria: The Loyal Spirit

Maria, our fiery red dun, is the loyal heart of the herd. Bold and opinionated, she’s never afraid to let you know exactly what she thinks, yet her devotion to her herd mates is unwavering. Maria’s spirited nature adds a lively energy to the pasture, keeping everyone on their toes.



Niagara: The Gentle Soul

Niagara, a silver dapple beauty, is the calming presence of the group. Her soft eyes and nurturing spirit make her a favorite of humans and horses alike. Whether she’s enjoying a peaceful moment under the trees or leaning in for a scratch, Niagara radiates kindness and serenity.


Polly: The Wise Matriarch

Polly, our steady and patient bay mare, is the leader of the herd and the glue that holds them all together. Her wisdom shines in everything she does, from guiding her herd mates to helping a nervous horse find their footing. Polly’s calm strength is the foundation of the herd’s harmony.






Poppy: The Mischievous Genius


Poppy, our small black-and-white pony, is the herd’s resident troublemaker. Smart, playful, and always up to something, she’s been known to hop fences in pursuit of better grass or stir up some mischief just for fun. Poppy’s clever antics may keep us on edge, but her charm makes her impossible not to adore.






Remy: The Friendly Son

Remy, Polly’s first son, is a stunning bay roan with a knack for making friends. Friendly, intelligent, and eager to connect, Remy has inherited Polly’s calm demeanor but added his own social twist. He’s always ready for a pat or a chat, and his warmth makes him a joy to have in the pasture.







Lucy: The Radiant Adventurer

Lucy, a tall palomino paint, is as brilliant as she is beautiful. With her striking golden coat and curious nature, she’s the adventurer of the group. Always exploring and learning, Lucy’s intelligence and grace make her an unforgettable presence in the herd.



Cinnamon: The Cautious Newcomer

Cinnamon, our cinnamon-colored mare, is a gentle soul finding her way. New to the herd, she’s curious but often looks to Polly and others for reassurance. With time, Cinnamon is beginning to come out of her shell, revealing a brave and inquisitive spirit underneath her nervous exterior.









Misty: The Mysterious Majesty

Misty is the dreamer of the herd, a tall, majestic blue roan whose shimmering summer coat looks almost electric. Quiet and mysterious, Misty exudes a poetic energy, drawing you in with her serene, otherworldly presence. But when she connects, it’s profound—she’s always ready to share her quiet wisdom.










Bernie: The Calm and Trusting Baby

The newest member of our herd, Bernie, is a young palomino colt with a calm and trusting spirit. As Polly’s youngest son, he’s already showing signs of his mother’s steady nature, paired with a natural curiosity and willingness to learn. Bernie’s soft demeanor and eagerness to explore his world make him a joy to watch and interact with. Though he’s just starting out, Bernie already fits right in, bringing a sense of new beginnings to our family.

A Herd Full of Heart

Maria’s loyalty, Niagara’s gentleness, Polly’s wisdom, Poppy’s mischief, Remy’s friendliness, Lucy’s adventurous spirit, Cinnamon’s cautious curiosity, Misty’s majestic mystery, and Bernie’s trusting innocence come together to create a herd that’s as dynamic as it is heartwarming.

Each horse has their own personality and story, and together they form a beautiful family where every member belongs. We’d love for you to visit and meet them, whether it’s to laugh at Poppy’s tricks, marvel at Misty’s quiet magic, or simply enjoy a peaceful moment with Bernie by your side.

Stay tuned for more stories from the pasture as we continue to share the lives and adventures of this incredible herd!
