JUSTICE - 5-1-1991
Justice is one of our younger family members. Justice is an ex-show Appendix Quarter Horse, who developed navicular. With good shoeing and care, he has remained sound. With quiet riders Justice is slow and lazy, with over exuberant riders Justice is ready for a jump course. Many of our independent riders enjoy the more energetic Justice, just the opposite of the typical therapeutic riding horse.

APACHE - Born 1985 Retired Although only 14 hands Apache is a very strong brown and white pinto. He is more than capable of handling screaming kids and scared adults. Apache can be hard headed at times and likes to go where he wants to. But when you are pushing 25 years old, you are permitted. The independent rider easily gets Apache ready to go. He loves to trot

Scout came to our Program late in life, off a cattle truck. I knew he would fit right in. His favorite things in life are food, any kind of food. Scout is one of those large ponies you can put anyone on and know they will be safe. Scout is old and going strong.

ONYX - Born 1985
Onyx was owned and ridden by a teenager who eventually out grew her. She likes to move - fast walk and trot, which is great for riders that get frustrated easily and don't like to be constantly coaxing their horse. Onyx is always ready to be the first horse to line up when class is done!
