Our newest additon to the barn, Poet!

Poet wins 1st & 2nd in the Walk-Trot with Marguerite & Kristin
Not only does Poet look like a black stallion but he is a babysitter to our youngest and most beginner rides. Poet was trained in Country English Pleasure and loves the trails. He is so kind and good natured, he loves to sit with the weanling filly and the dog!

Poet came to us from our friends in Arizona who we also got Gracie & Lola from. He quickly became a favorite in the barn and Poet is loved by all of the girls. He does it all and is great as a bareback horse.

When Poet was a yearling, his owners taught him a few tricks. We thought we would see if he remembered them - and he did! Even after 10 years without practicing. He is so smart! Poet counts, bows, rears, and lays down!

Enjoy these pictures of Poet, our only gelding, in action performing some of his tricks with Ashley at Yom Kippur Holiday Camp.
