Meet Our Horses
We are proud of our herd of beautiful, well taken care of horses. Most have been with us for many years and have been raised and trained here at the ranch.
They work during the day and then graze and play in our lush mountain meadows overnight.
They have the winters off and get to run like wild horses on a big ranch in the foothills near Livermore.
George
Little George is our newest addition.
He was born here at the ranch on April 23rd of 2025.

Sally
Sally is a bay mare that has been with us her whole life!
She is a smooth and enjoyable ride, and takes care of the kids who ride her.
Her one quirk is that Sally likes to sneak up on the horse in front of her and bite them on the butt!
Arnie
Arnie is a palomino Quarter Horse gelding.
He was bottle-fed as a baby and can be antisocial with the other horses in the herd, but he is a sweet and dependable riding horse.
His favorite part of every day is when he gets to eat his grain!
