Each horse at Laurelin Farm has a unique personality, outlook on life and they love to teach humans how to join with them to view the world from their perspectives...

Jasper, the sweet but spunky pony

Jasper is the newest member of the farm herd and is excellent with beginner to intermediate riders. He might not be very tall, but he loves children and is very patient. He is a hard worker and tries very hard to understand what his rider needs.  He teaches riders to open up to trust and to learn to figure out what the horse is feeling while you ride. Along with being very empathetic, he is very brave and steadfast when trying new things!

Boomer, Mr. Personality

Grandpa Boomer is a Haflinger cross and full of personality. He works well for both beginner and intermediate riders as the Farm’s oldest lesson horse. But even though he is older, he is still the professional lesson horse and strives to teach all his rider’s courage and love. He is very patient with timid riders and loves to teach intermediate riders a more advanced riding seat. He has a super smooth canter to learn on, and he will help you learn your strengths! He does not suffer fools and will let you know if you are not communicating well.  

Willow being awesome

Glorfindel, aka Glory

Glory is Laurelin Farm's Star. The son of Niner and Beau, he was born in 2008 right on the farm. Being a Quarab, he has a gentle Quarter Horse personality with some added Arabian spunk. He helps intermediate riders get a good feel of connection and communication, and challenges (in a gentle way) advanced riders to up their depth of nuance and feel. He is Caroline’s main endurance mount and loves going on new adventures. He is recently completing 50-to-100-mile endurance ride competitions! He has figured out how to patiently carry Caroline and folks around the archery track while she attempts to hit the targets at a steady canter and play with the discipline of Working Equitation…

Princess leah is becoming a queen

Leah, the Dancer and Co-Collaborator

Leah is a sensitive Arabian mare, who is excels at teaching the fine art of reading equine posture and moving as one. She loves to partner up and dance in doing groundwork, and is a fierce empowered mare that teaches true and joyful awareness is a breath away. She is great for intermediate and advanced riders, as she will calmly call her rider out on any mediocre Horsemanship… She is also in training for endurance competitions and loves to trail ride.

Bee loves hugs.

 Bee, the steady and willing partner

Bee is a Tennessee Walker horse mare that loves having a job. She is an immediate ride that has a lovely smooth ability to give riders confidence to move up and go a little faster!
