This trim brown man is famous for his D-bar-A Twitter page. The staff know him for his limited sight on his left side.

His large size can seem intimidating, but his calm demeanor makes him a favorite of all ages. He wins over hearts with his two different colored eyes and light brown spots on his white fur.

While she has always had some greys in her coat she still keeps up with the young ones. Even with being picky about her friends, once at work she is a lovable girl with the smoothest ride on camp.

For being middle aged, he certainly doesn’t know it yet. Everything is fun and exciting, there is no such thing as too much work. He only needs a gentle hand to get moving and do what is asked.

One of the ranch’s newest arrivals, Bunny is a calm, smooth ride.  Her calm and friendly demeanor make her a favorite among the staff.  She’s still learning the ropes, but you can expect to see her on the trails very soon.

Her marble eyes, spots and long body gives her a unique look that makes her easy to separate from the others. While she is timid of new things, she is willing with a confident rider.

Cherokee and Lucky are half-brothers who arrived at the ranch several years ago.  His deep reddish brown and white coat pattern make him stand out, but many people mistake him for Lucky.  Cherokee is a dedicated staff mount who is brave and willing to go anywhere.

Small but mighty, Cherokee Rose is a sure-footed mount.  She’s among the youngest horses on the ranch, but is a reliable and smooth ride, making her a favorite with the staff.

This sassy mixed breed is a spirited horse who loves to please. Her tan coat and black mane and tail give her a beautiful look, even from afar.

Cookie has been at camp for a long time and is often requested by returning riders. While she is short, she doesn’t let that slow her down. Her black and white fur and multicolored eyes make her a memorable ride for everyone.

Jetta and Cookie often get confused for each other. Both are black and white with brown and blue eyes. Jetta is a little taller and younger than Cookie. She will work hard every day of the summer and not tire. While she has the endurance to work hard every day, she is calm enough to be ridden by the younger participants that come to camp.

As a new arrival to the ranch, Franko has adapted well and made new friends with a few herd-mates.  His calm and friendly demeanor are sure to make him a favorite of staff and participants alike.

This 22-year-old handsome Gelding can be found hanging out with Vidalia.  Due to his high energy and spunk, he is typically a staff only horse.  Jake is shares the Ranch with his half Brothers, Lucky and Cherokee.

He is a compact, unregistered mustang, with tan and white fur. Like the wild mustangs, he can be a lot of horse for his smaller size. The staff enjoy working with him and teaching him new things and keeping him in a steady routine.

This dark brown Morgan mare is calm and willing.  She’s new to the ranch, but has already made herself at home with new friends among the herd and staff.  Keep your eyes out for her on the trails soon.

Max’s dark brown and white coat pattern make him stand out from the crowd.  His slow, steady and calm demeanor make him a favorite with the participants, and he works hard on the trail and in the corral.

Another new arrival, Mojo made friends with Harry and Bunny very quickly.  He is still learning about his new job, and his easy-going attitude will be sure to please staff and participants alike.

Everyone needs a white pony in their lives. While Ranger is not a pony his calm friendly manner is sure to win over even the most hesitant individual.

His long hair makes him look like he always has dreadlocks and braids. He is a favorite among the staff and guests for his willing and calm attitude.

Her height and dark fur give her a striking look from afar. Before camp she was a cart racer and was a staff-only horse for a long time. However, with the years she has become a go-to participant horse on trail rides and one of the most used horses on the camp.

Trixie is short and stout, but she can keep up with the bigger, leaner horses.  She is brave and willing, and has been a steady staff mount for several years.  She makes friends with one or two horses at a time, and can usually be found near them in the pasture.

This tall brown and white mare is a staff favorite.  Best friends with Amarillo, Vidalia is a smooth, forward ride, making her a great staff mount.  However, she is a calm and reliable corral ride for even our youngest participants.
