Ruby is a pretty Arabian mare with a classic “dishy” face. She is a 2010 model and on loan from her owner, Shaman Drew. Ruby has been a solid pleasure horse in her past career. We are so happy to have this good mare in the herd.
Solstice was born during the summer solstice in 2018. When her mom was rescued by Copper Horse Crusade she was a “stowaway”. She is a draft x quarter horse cross and built sturdy to carry our older riders. Solstice is a super smart mare and we love having her here!
13.1h Pony Gelding
Born 2006
Pip aka “Pipsqueak” is a 13.1 pony gelding and, though he is small, he is mighty, just like our other precious ponies! Pip, like Sampson, is a rescue pony and a perfect example of how horses bloom into wonderful partners when given the right love and care. He is a perfect “therapy sized” pony and we are very happy to welcome him to the herd.
17.0hh Belgian Mare
Born 2008
Queen is a 2008 Belgian mare and truly worth her weight in gold (that’s 1750 lbs of goodness!). Queen worked as a farm horse and was destined for a bad end when she was rescued from auction by Copper Horse Crusade in Ohio (who also rescued Bishop!). Queen loves all of the attention she gets here and is a steady ride for our older riders. She and Bishop have become quite a pair since she arrived!
15.1h AQHA Gelding
Born 2008
JR (All Spooked Up) is a retired NRHA world champion reining horse. Don’t let his registered name fool you – he’s a steady-eddy! We are so grateful that owner LeeAnn Ingram thought of us when JR was ready to step out of the big time show ring and into a new career. He loves the attention from all the people here and you can sometimes finding him “dancing” to country music in the crossties.

He will be right at home here with all the kiddos that can continue to learn from him.
