Lexi and Jake. Lexi has been riding for several years in 4-H. This year she wanted to work on her gaming skills. She has improved her times and is beginning to "time" out of buckaroo events.
Perfect. Perfect is a young two year old Paint gelding. He came to me with only a couple of rides and no manners. He preferred to bit and kick rather than behave. He is becoming a gentleman. He is being trained for Lexi (see above). Perfect will be her next mount.
Elliot. Elliot is a two year old Tennessee Walking Horse gelding. He came to me as a pushy youngster. He is playful, brave and curious (except when it comes to water). He was unbroke but had the saddle on a few times. He is coming along. I took him on a trail ride a few days ago and he loved it. He had issues with barking dogs but was a nice ride.
