Our Horses
Andy
Age: 1997
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Andalusian x Quarter Horse
Andy is cute, sweet and sassy. He was a very cute jumper in a past life, but has been focused on flat work for several years. He can still jump for the right rider. He needs a capable rider to get him moving, but he’s not a difficult horse by any means. He just isn’t appropriate for a beginner because he would prefer not to go anywhere. We love his been-there-done-that attitude.

Age: 2008
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Andalusian x Westphalian
Avatar is a 16.2hh 2008 Andalusian and Westphalian cross gelding. His gorgeous looks, playful personality and brave attitude makes him the total package. Avatar has been in dressage training for several years with a USDF Bronze and Silver medal rider/trainer. He even got to hang out and play with cows for a short stint.
Avatar has been lightly shown due to extraneous circumstances (rider going to college, Covid, etc.). In his limited show experience he has scored above 60% in all of his tests including a 67% at Training level with a Junior. He has shown and been ridden successfully by a Jr rider, an AA and a trainer at training and 1st level. In his two shows, he won his classes and really seemed to enjoy himself! He has worked on some 2nd and 3rd level movements at home, including flying changes and half passes. Due to a past injury, he’s limited to dressage / flat work.
Avatar does best with a confident forward thinking rider. He is a character and a smart boy!
Avatar is Available for Full or Partial Lease on Site. He’s also for sale for the right home.

Fabled Island
Fable
Age: 2009
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Chincoteague Pony
Fabled Island, better known as Fable, is the most amazing 13.2hh show pony. He is a stand-out eventing pony. He is a good mover and, with his handsome looks, he is always a favorite with the dressage judges. He is a clean jumper and has competed in horse trials in California, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. He has eight 1st place Beginner Novice finishes including 2018 Area VI Championships at Woodside International Horse Trials.
Fable has a great personality and no vices. He bathes, clips, ties, and stands for the farrier. Fable is safe, easygoing, and a great confidence builder. While he is a proven event pony, he has good potential as a dressage and hunter pony too.
Fable is available for on site partial lease.
Jackaroo QRF
Jax
Age: 2011
Gender: Gelding
Breed: American Warmblood (Hanoverian x Thoroughbred)
A bit of a quirky fella, Jax the giant has gone from not feeling motivated to move much to showing 3rd level in his time here with BEST.
Juniper
Age: 2010
Gender: Gelding
Breed: Appaloosa
Juniper is a 16 hh, 2010 Appaloosa gelding. He’s a beautiful leopard specimen, but that’s not his biggest draw. Juniper is the best kind of horse to have around. He is a super schoolmaster type for beginner and intermediate riders. He can dial down for lower level riders or work up to more advanced riders. He is very much a push ride with a lot more whoa than go, but he can be quite forward, beautiful and round with a more advanced rider. He’s generally very safe with a few very predictable quirks. He has been cross country schooling, is happy to jump around a course and can do a solid dressage test.
On the ground he is very kind and mellow and has regularly put up with the attentions of toddlers.

This impressive little gelding has won All Breeds at his level for 4 years running (Training, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th)!

Willa
Age:
Gender: Mare

This little lady is a perfect show horse. Brenda took her to first dressage show and they walked away with a trunk load of ribbons! They showed at training level and won all 4 of their classes. On top of that they earned High Point Vintage, High Point Appaloosa, High Point Pony Cup for each day, and overall High Point for the Pony Cup for the weekend and Foothills Fall Classic high point. That was just one show! She has scored in the 70%’s with multiple judges at Training Level and has been High Point at multiple shows. She’s an exciting little horse!
Willa will be available for on site partial lease starting in October 2023
