 BrightieBrightie is a sweet, gentle mare and our largest pony at 13 hands, weighing 750 lbs. She has been a valued member of our herd for twelve years. Brightie has an incredibly thick, long black mane and tail and a very dark bay coat. Brightie gets along famously with every horse on the farm. She is everyone’s friend. Brightie prefers to stay outside all day and night, all year long, but of course, she has a run-in shed and a snuggly warm winter blanket. Brightie loves her hay and can eat as much as any big horse on the farm.
 TeacupTeacup is an adorable Appaloosa pony. The Appaloosa is a truly American horse, bred by the Nez Perce indian tribe in the Idaho region. They are often spotted with striped hooves, freckles on their lips, white around their eyes, and unfortunately, skimpy tails. Luckily Teacup has a full tail which is vital for swatting flies in the summer. He has a few spots but is more roan, meaning he has white flecks throughout his coat. He is a small pony, 10 hands high, and often shares a large stall with his best friend, Robbie. He is sweet, gentle and a very hard worker.
 RobbieRobbie is one of the newest ponies to join our herd, but is already a veteran at pony parties. He is only 10 hands high, but don’t tell him, because as far as he is concerned he is the boss of the corral. He is a Chocolate Palomino and is full of mischief. He led many of the ponies out of the fencing into the neighbors’ yards all too often this past year. He likes to lend a helping hoof when we are out fixing the fencing by grabbing the bag of nails, or the hammer, and running away.
 MissyMissy is a beautiful young filly in training for pony parties or greater things…….who knows! Sweet, gentle, elegant and friendly describe this chestnut mare with her long flaxen mane and tail. She may come to a few parties this year just to watch from the trailer and to be admired and pet. Missy was saved from a barn fire and then the auction block at the last minute. All the horses and the human family love this gentle soul, our “gift from heaven."
 JockJock was a terrific party pony but due to age and illness he had to retire during the 2009 season. He still lives on our farm and will remain an important member of the herd. Jock is a painted pony, 12 hands high and my all-time favorite pony. He loves children, apples, and grazing in the pastures, although we must limit his grazing time. Jock also likes quiet time in his stall standing in front of his fan during the hot summer days. In Jock's younger days he and his favorite friend, Billy Jack, a mustang from out west, enjoyed jumping their pasture fencing and getting into trouble.
