Little Peaches
Little Peaches is a mini horse and sort of our barn mascot! She is perfect for the littles and those afraid of larger horses. She does walk, trot, canter, and rides around the property. Over the years of visiting the farmers market, the parades, and pony rides, she has become a steady mount for little kids. She was donated to Rising Hope and is also used for therapeutic riding.

Skittles
Skittles was uneducated when she was donated to Rising Hope. Due to the time and dedication of one of our students, she has made huge progress. She does everything from working cows to jumping, lunge line lessons, trail rides, and therapeutic lessons. Skittles is a large pony, we don’t know her breed for certain but we guess she is a Welsh cross.
Tango
Tango is a grade Quarter Horse, approximately 11 years old. He was used for equestrian team and other western riding events. He has a very sweet and friendly personality in the pasture and when working with him. He isn’t afraid or anything and dog can even jump on his back!

Bio coming soon!
Vinnie
Leah has known Vinnie since he was a baby. He was donated by a successful adult-amateur dressage rider/past client of Leah’s. He has been a huge asset to our program! He is great for all levels, from beginners to dressage riders. Advanced riders will have fun with his dressage moves. He is an Andalusian-Thoroughbred cross and the biggest horse on the property at 17.1 hands!
