Meet our family of HORSES

---

A 15.2 hand Thoroughbred with a very easy-going attitude, Toby's patience, training, and athletic ability made a great combination;  he was able to adjust well to any level of rider, but loved a good workout requiring some skill and precision.   In his last years Toby was living at Southmowing where he enjoyed teaching students and hanging out with his buddy, Cory. He has now gone over the Rainbow Bridge and is missed terribly.  

15.1, was possibly a Cleveland Bay, but was more likely a Percheron/Morgan cross. He gained confidence from his rider, and was then  willing to do just about anything. His calm way of moving revealed an amazing trot and kids loved to ride him double bareback. Julio went to live with Oliver and his favorite girl in his last days; he had a wonderful non-lesson life at the end of his lesson career.

Is a 15.2 hand Thoroughbred gelding who belongs to Dorothy and her daughter Erin.  He had a long racing career and is now enjoying his new job as a pleasure horse.  He still loves a good gallop once in a while, and is learning how to use his body in new ways.  He is a funny boy with a great personality.

was a 16.3 hand Thoroughbred that was never a lesson horse, but still a great friend to those who frequented the farm! A perfectionist with high expectations for himself and his rider, he loved trail rides, jumping, and eventing in particular, and  working to improve his dressage skills .  Jazz had  a great sense of humor and a good work ethic. Sadly, he is no longer with us. 

 Is a 16 hand registered Clydesdale who thinks he is a giant Teddy Bear. Enjoyed for his smooth and rocking-chair gaits, his solid way of moving is great for learning rhythm and the feel of something big in a small package. Oliver is enjoying a much-needed break from lessons and now has a forever home with his favorite person. 

Mr. Sharkey is no longer with us, and is greatly missed by adults and children.  He will always be remembered for his love for teaching kids! 

Kramer is remembered for his patience and being the steady lesson pony who taught so much to so many students. 

Humor will be remembered and loved for his fun personality, willing attitude and great outlook on life.
