Cody 1999 Paint Gelding
Cody is the energizer bunny, don't let his age fool you, he loves to go, jumping is is favorite he will jump anything you put in front of him. Doesn't ever get too fast but you have to like forward horses to appreciate Cody's work ethic, sitting still isn't his cup of tea.

Justice 2003 Thoroughbred Gelding
Justice is an OTTB who had a successful career on the track earning 98K in his racing career. Justice has lots of show miles and has always enjoyed jumping. He is a nice bold jumper and is very honest, steady and great for beginners on the flat or teaching kids to jump low jumps now with his age. He can be a little slow on the flat, but as soon as the jumps go up he gets excited.
|
SpotMe 2000 Pintaloosa Gelding
Spot Me is a character to say the least he is very easy to pick out in the field with his interesting face markings. Very athletic horse, but does have a couple quirks and is a little too smart for his own good. He has settled down as he has gotten older, and is great for kids to learn to jump on now and a perfect horse for students to take to shows.
|
Phyrefly 2002 Trakehner Mare
Phyrefly is a very easy going, safe horse for beginners to learn to ride on. She teaches kids how to jump over small jumps. She has taken many children to their first ever show. She is easy to get going for even the smallest riders and is smooth to ride.

Roper 2001 Quarter Horse Gelding
Roper was a feedlot horse before we bought him and loves to work cows and do cattle penning. Great for polocrosse as he neck reins very easily. Good on the trails, in the arena and is fun to jump. He is a great all around horse but does have some get up and go.
|
Jerry 2002 Fjord /Quarter Horse GeldingJerry came into our program a couple years ago from the same place we purchased Tom. Jerry can be know to have his stubborn moments, but is a sweet and playful guy in the field and loves being with people. We didn't know much about his past for riding experience. He has found a passion for jumping, loves trail rides through the field and has even been out eventing a few times now with one of our students.
|
Annie 2008 Paint-Arab cross Mare
Annie is a very smart little mare and can be a bit lazy and stubborn. Unless you ask her to do something, and put in the same amount of effort as her she would rather chill in the middle of the arena. She has a smooth canter and a steady trot on the flat, and a nice round little jump which makes her a fun ride if your assertive enough to get her going. Annie has some show experience, and has done a few years of eventing as well and enjoys it. Unfortunately in her previous home she got caught up in a fence and has some old scars on her legs that is starting to affect her knee as she is getting older. We have been advised by our vet that she needs to stay jumping lower to keep her happy and sound long term. Which means her eventing days are over but she will continue to teach kids on the flat and beginner jumping for years to come..

Remi 2012 Paint GeldingRemi is a new addition to our program. (Spring 2025) He is certified good boy and great for all levels of riders. He is great for beginner riders and his notable size allows him to carry adults easily so he does lots of flat lessons. Remi also has some show miles under his belt in western, trail, gymkhana, and also enjoys jumping so he does a bit of everything in the intermediate lessons as well.

Hope and Promise are purebred Fjord half sisters. We bought them as weanlings and were supposed to only pick one, but we brought home two... they were just too cute, baby picture for justice of our actions -------------->>>>
They are very hard to tell apart so for the kids catching them there is hairless Hope, we cut her mane super short and with cool patterns. Meanwhile her sister is plentiful Promise as in she has a lots and lots of thick long mane. Both are broke to ride and like to jump, but are also learning to pull a cart as well. Our vision in the future is to make them a driving team. They have become valuable horses in our lesson program and a favorite of many kids and adult. Hope is more laid back and enjoys the slower lane in life, great for beginners and therapeutic riding, but does enjoy jumping, gymkhana games and riding through the field, and will go when asked. Promise the smaller one is the more energetic one with a little more sass and prefers to do things with a little more speed and excitement so is used more for jumping and intermediate riders on the flat. |

Willow 2012 Buckskin Pony Mare
Willow was purchased by us spring of 2022 from a previous client. We spent some time putting some miles on her and she did some of the summer camps and was progressing with learning how to jump quite nicely. She can be a little lazy at times but is a sweet mare and with time will probably do great with beginners. She is 13.1hh so just the right size for small adults and teenagers to keep riding her.
|
Cookie 2012 Pinto Pony Mare
Cookie was purchased spring of 2022 from the same place as Willow. She spent the spring getting a pony tune up and is coming along very nicely. She is 12.3hh so on the shorter side when it comes to ponies but is super athletic, has an adorable jump and for the intermediate kids is proving to be a blast to ride. She will continue her training to become a well rounded lesson pony and safe for all kids in a few years time.

Surprise 2006 Pony Mule
Surprise is a fan favorite around here; Iris picked him up from a horse auction as a 2 year old. He used to have a ton of black spots but has turned grey over the years. He has gone to many horse shows, battle of the breeds, polocrosse events and he loves to jump. He is pretty easy going and does do some beginner lessons, but does like to check and see if the kids are actually steering him every once and a while
|
Zurich 2001 Warmblood Mare
Zurich has been used on and off in our lesson program for a few years now, she is a powerful mare with a huge stride and does like to jump. She has also been a broodmare for our Warmblood breeding program. Her foals include Lorenzo by Lampion, Athena(Classical Touch) by Cree, and Secret (Revealed my secrets) By Rip N Rio Z. She is now back doing some lessons to keep her active into her senior years as getting her in foal was becoming to difficult.
|
Teddy 2003 Warmblood Gelding
Iris picked up Teddy many years ago as a rehab project gelding, after a couple years of field rest he came back completely sound. Teddy has taught a lot of kids the ropes over the years. He is a gentle giant and loves to cuddle, but he is a strong powerful horse with a lofty jump. Teddy has shown in the past up to 1m making even those jumps look small, and has even cleared 4.9ft in a three bar challenge! He is starting to slow down as he is getting older and only does lower jumpers now, but is an honest point and shoot horse that will take care of his rider.
|
Santiago 2002 Warmblood Gelding
Santiago was born and raised here at New Horizon Ranch. He is by our old stallion Crimelord, and his dam was Savannah. He is 16'3 hands high. Santiago has a lot of show experience under his belt, and has a comprehensive amount of dressage training and doing jumpers over the years. He is now in his 20's and only doing low jumpers and mostly dressage lessons. He still is quite forward to ride and his size and power is a little to much for small kids.
|
Sven 2009 Fjord Cross Gelding
Sven is a Fjord cross gelding with 1/4 Percheron and 1/4 Quarter horse on the other side. He is literally an oversized Fjord standing at 15.2hh. He is great on the flat, has done some jumping in the past but is better for the flat. He goes on many trail rides, and mountain trips. His Canter can be a little quick but his walk and trot are as smooth as butter, and he loves to jump.
|
Zoe 2004 Warmblood Mare
Zoe came from the same farm as Teddy years ago. We have used her on and off as a lesson horse over the years, and she was used as a broodmare for the previous owner. Zoe is quite safe under saddle, goes easily, enjoys doing small jumps, and trail rides. Her canter is a little different and she prefers to walk and trot more then canter.
|
Dragon 2014 Thoroughbred MareDragon came off the racetrack after having a very short career, running was not her thing but she was used as a reliable school horse to train young jockeys over the couple seasons she was there. Since we have had her she has had 2 lovely foals for us, and is now joining our lesson program. Dragon loves to jump is very bold and straight forward to the jumps with a rhythmic canter. She has tried some eventing this past season and loved it.
|
Flame 1999 Quarterhorse Mare
Flame is a new addition to our program that we bought in 2022 she is a safe all around horse that we will be using for our learn to ride and therapeutic programs.
|
Panda 2003 Paint Gelding
Panda was our old paint stallion, that has now been gelded. He has a great temperament, and has decided he loves to jump. He started doing lessons the last couple years. We only had a couple foals off of him, and figured he would enjoy life as a riding gelding living in the herd more then the stallion life. He has adjusted to being a gelding even as a older horse very easily and is quite happy.
|
Jumbo Arabian Quarter Horse GeldingJumbo was given to us from a friend after his kids lost interest in riding. Jumbo is quiet, patient and a great addition to our beginner riding string. He has mostly been ridden western and on the trails so jumping isn't really his forte.
|
Joker 1997 Palomino GeldingJoker and Emma came from the same place and have lived together their whole life, and are quite attached to each other. Joker was used as a all around 4-H horse, and has now joined our lesson string doing mostly flat lessons but a few small jumps. He has a super smooth canter that is great to learn on. Joker is a super sweet gelding but does have a little bit of anxiety issues from his past. As long as you support him he is very agreeable and wants to please.
|
Emma 1998 Paint MareEmma and Joker came from the same place and have lived together their whole life, and are quite attached to each other. Emma was used as a 4-H, and pony club horse in her previous home she knows her stuff and loves to work even in her older age. She still has plenty of get up and go, and lots of buttons to press and learn from so is mostly used on our intermediate flat.
|
Tez Thoroughbred GeldingTez was on the race track for a few seasons when he was younger before coming to us. He is a very athletic guy, and can be a bi spunky so is used mainly by our intermediate students for jumping lessons.
|
Shorty Fjord GeldingShorty came from the same place as Jumbo, where he was mostly used as a pack horse for him and a dude riding outfit before that. He can be a bit on the lazy side and hard to get going. Shorty is constantly on a diet, and came with some feet issues we have been trying to correct. He has no plans to get anywhere fast, but what he does have going for him is being super quiet and safe with tons of exposure under his belt. He is looking more like a therapy horse to be used in our therapeutic programs but a couple kids have even gotten him to canter as were trying him out so he might become a part of our flat lesson string as well.
