CURRENT HORSES
"WONDER BOY" aka ELVIS
Elvis is a 2016 15.3hh Dutch Harness Horse gelding by Waldemar (KWPN). He has three lovely gaits with natural suspension, springs over fences currently set to 3'3" courses and 3'6" singles. He is bold cross country currently competing recognized Novice and schooling some Training questions. His flatwork is coming along beautifully with easy shoulder-ins, haunches in/out, leg yields, mediums, and the half passes gaining strength. Don't let his size fool you, this little guy is a big mover and takes up the leg well for a taller rider. Hacks out alone or with a friend. Super brave and athletic. Has been ridden by everyone 6-60+ and always a favorite. He's been a joy to bring along with a bright future ahead, you "can't help falling in love" with him!
Ties, cross ties, enjoys bath time, very polite for vet/farrier, trailers well - an easy keeper, currently thriving barefoot and living out. UTD on feet, teeth, dewormer, coggins,
and vaccines.
Looking forward to developing this talented creature as far as he can go!
IGNITE DG aka "JASPER"
Jasper is a cute 2012 15.2hh DHH gelding. Lovely mover, point and shoot to jump, kid approved, lesson horse tested, trail blazer. He has been to local dressage and hunter shows(mostly piloted by kids), played around cross country, been out with the fox hounds, climbed some mountains on trail, hunter paced, and been my go to lesson horse for all levels. Jasper is a push ride but a big mover! Having spent most of his career driving a carriage, he is just two years under saddle and settling into using himself more effectively. Jasper knows leg yields, shoulder in/out, haunches in/out, has touched on half passes, comfortable at 2’6” but has jumped 2’9” singles, and free jumped 3’ easily when I first got him. He is barefoot, an easy keeper, lives out or gets used to day/night turnout, good to bathe, be clipped and have his mane pulled, rounding out his fall updates(dental, chiro), loads, and has had regular Magnawave throughout his training. Jasper has become quite a favorite as he has developed and I think would be a wonderful all rounder for an intermediate rider, an ammy wanting a fancy little horse for the sandbox, or an ambitious kid with a trainer. He has a kind soul but he does have DHH moments on new experiences, however, expending excess energy is not high on his to do list. If you know the breed, he snorts and holds his head high when things are new or the boogeymen are out, but he can come to reason and get down to work to resume his pluggy nature with a little help.
