Glory is Laurelin Farm's Star. The son of Niner and Beau, he was born in 2008 right on the farm. He has a gentle quarter horse personality with some added Arabian spunk. He helps intermediate riders get a good feel of connection and communication. He is Caroline’s main endurance mount and loves going on new adventures.

Leah, the horse to keep you honest…

Leah is a sensitive Arabian mare, who is taking the current year off because she is having a foal in June! 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.


Chad, the gentleman

Chad is a Arabian/Saddlebred gelding. If he chooses you to ride him, you will learn patience, subtlety, kindness while joyfully moving together in his very smooth gaits.
