There are times when you can
trust a horse, times when you can't, and times when you have to.

Our Horses, Our Guides, and
Our Volunteers are the ROCK of our success. Without them our mission would
not be a success. We are blessed with a team of ANGELS and Thankful for
their hard work and dedication. |

Our Equine Staff
 Liberty
is a Quarter Horse Mare that is Dapple Grey. Liberty was purchased with a few
other horses when the ranch changed ownership. Liberty is approximately 16 years
old and is currently one of our alpha mares. She loves to head the trail rides
but only if her boyfriend CJ comes with her. Look for Liberty, she'll be the one
sneaking a snack!
LIKES:
Any and ALL Kinds of Food Dislikes: Other Mares
Frank and
Beans are our Brothers. We originally went to purchase only Frank and his
previous owners mentioned that him and his brother had never been separated. So
after much thought we decided to bring both boys home with us and vowed to never
separate the two. Franck and Beans are Quarter Horses. Frank is a Blue Roan and
25 years old and Beans is a Bay and 24 years old.

Carrots and Apples Dislikes: Fly Spray
The horse
on the left is Mr. Blue and he has recently gone to a retirement home. The
horse on the right is Ladybird. She is a 22 year old Belgian Mare who we
purchased from a breeding farm in Southern Il. Ladybird is so big she had
to be delivered to our facility because we didn't have a trailer large enough to
pick her up with. She is a VERY docile and gentle ride.

The Short Distance Trail Rides Dislikes: Other Girls that try to take her
food
Miracle
joined our family by default four years ago. She was brought to our
facility as part of our Boarding Services and one day her owner just never came
back. So we took he in with open arms as a 6 year old UNBROKEN paint mare.
Now she has molded into our program nicely.

Baths Dislikes: Other Mares other than Abi
This is
Abi our rescue pony. We purchased her at an auction and it wasn't until we got
her home that we realized she has been sedated. After MUCH TLC Abi fits in
nicely to our program. She is no longer afraid of humans but in her eyes she
"tolerates" us. She is the pick for most of our young riders for her size and
gentle trail manners. Abi is a huge part of our 4H program and has been
successfully shown for the past 6 years. Abi is a Bay Quater Pony and is 17
years old.

Horse Shows, Miracle and Trail Rides Dislikes: Mean People
This is
Stormy, a 6 year old Miniature Horse. She is Miracles sister..not by blood
obviously. :) We acquired Stormy the same way we got Miracle and from the same
owner. Stormy is full grown and not afraid of any of the bigger horses. She can
hold her own. We use Stormy for our school and therapy groups.
Likes:
GRASS and Wendy Dislikes: BATHS and tangles
This is
Kash. He is a 13 year old American Paint Horse. He was purchased in Southern Il
and is a favorite by our trail riders mostly because of his Palomino color. He
is ridden mostly by one of our guides, Melissa, who spoils him regularly.
LIKES:
Treats and Trail Rides Dislikes: Itch Weed and Jumping
 This is
Shadow. She is a 14 year old Blue Roan Appaloosa Mare. She was purchased
in Tennessee where she was used as a family trail horse. She is most
commonly recognized as the horse with no tail and the beautiful color. It
is a characteristic of this breed to have very thin hair and Shadow definitely
fits the bill.
Likes: Her Friends Precious and Anna Dislikes:
ANY KIND OF BUGS!
This
is Anna a 16 year old Tennessee Walking horse mare. She was purchased from
the same family in Tennessee that Shadow came from. Anna was actually a
rescue as she was found by the animal control wandering loose. She was
brought to our facility in foal and she gave birth to a beautiful jet black
filly. Anna is today a pick for our trail riders due to her comfortable
ride. Anna is ridden and spoiled by one of our most valued customers Wendy
Wedekind. The two are quite the pair.
Likes:
Riders with Gentle Hands and Wendy Dislikes: Being left behind
 This is
Chico. He is our Ladies Man is quite a favorite among our other female horses.
Chico is also a favorite among our trail riders for his VERY laid back
personality. Chico is a 19 year old Appaloosa Gelding and he is guaranteed to
win your heart. Just look for the horse with the mo-hawk!
Likes:
Everything and Everyone Dislikes: Nothing and no one
Of Course We can't forget "Flash Gordon". We just
call him Gordon. This is Stormy's boyfriend, you hardly see one without
the other. He was donated to our facility and has definitely earned his keep. He
is a 24 year old Shetland pony who currently just keeps Stormy busy.
Likes: Running in the Grass and Pedicures
Dislikes: When Stormy leaves him
MANY MORE TO COME SO KEEP CHECKING BACK!
