Our current stable:
- Chad. Quarter Horse gelding, 15h, dun. Past career: Trail horse. An all around nice guy, Chad loves attention.
- Cinnamon. Quarter horse mare, 14.2h, chestnut. Past
career: Jill of all trades. 20-year-old Cinnamon joined
Horseplay in 2007 and is quite a character. If you hear the
sounds of splashing water, it's probably Cinnamon preparing
to take a drink. If you hear nickering, it's probably
Cinnamon asking for a treat!
- Classy. Quarter horse mare, 15.0h, bay. Past career: trail horse, team penning. She's cute and classy!
- Cocoa. Percheron-Thoroughbred mare, 15.1h, dark browm. Past career: Jumping, dressage. With the Percheron in her quite evident, nine-year-old Cocoa is our Hummer in a stable of Honda Civics and Accords! Everyone loves her shaggy forelock and mane.
- Farina. Connemara mare imported from Ireland, 14.1h,
flea-bitten gray. Past career: eventing pony. Twenty-five
year old Farina has been with the program for approximately
10 years. She is the Everready bunny of the horse world—she just keeps going! She finds it difficult to concentrate if she detects carrots nearby.
- Indy. Quarter horse mare, 15.1h, paint. Past career:
western pleasure and ranch work. Indy is an 18-year-old who is fitting
in nicely with our herd and the program. More than a few
people were happy to have a more colorful addition to our
stable!
- Sunny. Quarter horse gelding, 15.1 hands, chestnut.
Past career: trail horse. At 30 years old, Sunny is Horseplay's
elder statesman, and he's looking good! One of our riders
refers to him as "you handsome devil," and while his
nature tends more towards the angelic, we heartily agree
that he's a handsome fellow!
All the horses are free-leased to the Horseplay program.
Of course safety is our primary concern, and we screen many horses before deciding which horse will be perfect for our program. Naturally the Horseplay horses are extra special in that they are comfortable around the props we use during sessions and are calm no matter what is happening around them.
