Ginger
Born in 2000, this 14.1 hand, sorrel Quarter Horse is as patient and sensible as a horse can be. She came to Moccasin Lake Ranch as a four year old and quickly became a favorite because of her gentle nature and responsiveness as a saddle horse. This careful mare allows even the smallest of riders to lead, groom, and clean her hooves with confidence. Under saddle, Ginger is popular in the arena and on the trails with riders of all abilities. Started as a cutting horse, Ginger occasionally gets to show off her moves as we move cattle around the ranch.

Ricky
Ricky, affectionately known as our “Little Lippizan”, is an accomplished dressage pony, jumper, trail horse and cow pony. He is well balanced, well trained and great on the lunge line, as well as being the smartest fellow on the ranch! Ricky was born in the late 1980’s. He is 13.3 hands tall and a flea-bitten grey Welsh/Connemara cross. He is clever enough to know when a rider needs to be challenged and experienced enough to know when to behave perfectly. Ricky has been an integral part of our therapeutic, educational and sport riding program for many years.

Little Black
Little Black became Tulie B’s pony when she was 7 years old. Her years of attention and training have turned him into a fabulous pony in the arena, on the trails and chasing cows. Little Black was born around 1986. He is a 13.1 hand, black Welsh/Quarter Horse cross. His large personality packed into a user-friendly size draws the smaller riders to him. Black’s responsiveness and obedience under saddle quickly builds confidence in the youngest of riders, making him invaluable for all of our kids programs.
