a.k.a "Colly"; Trails, Walk-trot
Colorado's Ace of Spades
Colly is the oldest horse owned by the stables. She was born in 1997 in the mountains of Wyoming. She was captured and sold by the BLM in 1999. She came to live with us in 2013. One of our best trail horses Colly is good for beginners just learning to ride. She is semi-retired so would only be used for light trail rides and rides and walk-trot lessons.
Barrel Racer and Jumper
Buttercup
Born in 2007, however Buttercup didn't come to be with us until the fall of 2013 when we bought her at auction. Buttercup is one of the best horses at the farm. Mild mannered and sweet she is normally the most popular horse. Good for riders of any level this horse is also one of the most versatile as she will do and loves pretty much everything!
a.k.a "Kwincey"; Gaming and English
Bo's Outback Lad
Registered Morgan born in 1998. Kwincey is a fairly recent addition to our family but we have known him for years. A phenomenal English horse Kwincey also excels in gaming and never lets his age slow him down. He would be great for any level rider but does best with intermediate to experienced riders.
Jumper and Trails
Cherokee
Born around 2000-2002. Cherokee is owned by Alexis. Cherokee is by far the best jumper in the barn. He can consistently clear 3'9 under saddle while able to clear well over 4' while free jumping. Cherokee was a rescue case and has been with us since September of 2013. He would be best suited to advanced beginner-intermediate riders.
Not for use by Public
Sterling
Born April 3, 2015. Sterling is the first foal that Hidden River purposely bred. His mother is Colorado's Ace of Spades and his sire is HH Remington Blue. Sterling is a sweet and intelligent colt who greets everyone that comes to Hidden River. He will not currently be used with the public but be on the lookout cause in the future he will more than likely be our barns favorite.
a.k.a "Trigger"; Not for public use
Quinsknightrider
A 2008 APHA gelding, Trigger is a recent addition of Hidden Rivers. He is a sweet horse but, due to unknown reasons is not rideable. He is great to work with on the ground and has settled in like he has lived here for years.
R.I.P.
Saga
Saga is the most recent addition to Hidden River. She was born September of 2015. Saga came to us extremely thin and in poor health. She has come a long way and loves people. She will usually talk to you and come up to greet you in the pasture.
** Saga recently passed away on 12/15/16. She passed due to underlying conditions that had gone unnoticed until it was too late. She spent her final moments surrounded by love, family, and friends. Rest in peace sweet girl. **
