School Horses and Their Stories:
These are viewed in chronological order beginning in 1995.
Fillies saved from the trip to
auction. These two fillies were headed to auction when we
bought them and made them a part of our program. They were both skinny
and un cared for. Juliet was found to be pregnant at only 2yrs. 4 months
after their rescue she gave birth to Blossom. Soon after this we sold
Tiggerett to a family in Paso. Blossom and Juliet continued in the
program. Juliet has and continues to teach children how to ride. Blossom
is now owned one of our students Toni.
Unborn Foal Saved from Auction.
The foal ofJuliet is Blossom. Who knows what the state
of these horse would be if sent to be sold at auction. Today
Blossom is in a loving home and well taken care of.
A Tale Of Two Old Friends.
This is Chester
one half of the friendship between horses. Chester was a working
ranch horse who's owner took good care of him. He worked and did
what he was told along side his best friend, another horse, named
Blackie. Together they lived and were obedient to their owners.
They got older and slower. Chester developed arthritis and Blackie
started loosing some vision. The rancher need to find them a home
and so he did under the condition that they always stay together.
They went to a wonderful pasture in SLO where they would live out there
years. Years later they found themselves needing to find and new
home but no one would buy or even take them with their age and
limitations. That is when Miller's came and placed them in our
school program. These two horses are safe and perfect lesson
horses. They are loved by many! They will be placed together in
the same home when they need to retire from being excellent teachers to
their young riders.
A Tale Of Two Old Friends.
This is Blackie
one half of the friendship between horses. His best friend is
Chester. Their story is told above. Blackie is used 5 days a
week giving lessons to beginner riders that can walk, trot, canter and
jump. He loves his job. He likes to canter and sometimes a
bit too fast. Which gives his riders a bit of a thrill sometimes.
He is a great lead horse and is responsive. He is a great lesson horse.
He has many riders that brush him, pick his feet out and just get him
out and graze him. He is a friend to him riders.
Let's take care of each
other. This is Jett an Arab gelding who had been a wonderful
trail horse to his owner for many years. One day Jett came up lame
and was diagnosed with ringbone in his front leg. His owner was
upset and new her horse need to semi-retire. She called Miller's
and we connected Jett with his new owner Connie. She is an elderly
lady who had just lost her horse who took her on trails. She has
other horses on her property and enjoys light trail riding with friends.
She tried Jett out and they were a match. Jett has been happy in
his new home.
