SOLO
Lippizan/Hanoverian
16.1 HH, 20 Yr Old
Gelding
Solo Spirit, Solo for short, is a 20 year old, 16.1 HH Black Lippizan/Hanoverian cross. He’s been with us since Easter of 2022. He came through the Lipizzan Rescue Foundation. He was well cared for and loved all of his life but the owners were needing to rehome the horses. Solo is big bodied and full of dominant energy. He’s dominant in the herd and has struggled to relinquish leadership to me. I’ve had to show him I’m worthy of his trust, without force or domination of course. With the limited training he received and this energy, he was rather intimidating to most. With some lifestyle changes, i.e. no more time closed in a stall, and nervous system focused work, he’s become quite the chill guy.
Solo is my personal horse, he’s not suited for teaching at the moment and doesn’t seem to have the personality for it overall. He’s my first step into the Lippizan world and I absolutely love him. He’s regal, sensitive, thoughtful and opinionated.


Moseley
Brown & White Pinto
15.1 HH, 24 Yr Old
Gelding
Moseley, Moe or Mose for short, is a 24 year old,15.1 HH, Brown and White Pinto. He’s been around the block eventing, fox hunting, Parelli and lots of trail riding. He’s been with us since March of 2022 and is here to teach less experienced riders confidence and a solid foundation for their riding and horsemanship journey. Moe is an absolute sweetheart, I’ve never met a horse who loved cuddles like he does, he will fall asleep with his head in your arms. He’s equally as kind to new riders, though he will challenge students when they’re ready. He has Cushings Disease so he doesn’t shed out properly in the spring and summer and grows a winter coat to suit an arctic horse. He needs to be clipped in some form or another most of the year to keep him comfortable. He foundered before he came to us, likely because of the Cushings. He has some rotation in his left front but is happily sound now. He also has a slight heart murmur but gets around quite well, cantering in from the field comfortably. Even with his maintenance needs Moseley is worth his weight in gold.
Estella
Lippizan/Swedish Warmblood
16.2 HH, 18 Yr old
Mare
Estella XL, Stella for short, is a 18 year old, 16.2 HH, Gray Lippizan/ Swedish Warmblood cross. She’s been with us since the beginning of December 2022 and she too has been around the block. She was part of a collegiate team in her past, competed in jumpers and dressage. Like Solo, she came through the Lipizzan Rescue Foundation. She’s bounced around the country over the past 4 years, not finding the right home. She has ringbone in her right front pastern that’s mostly fused. She’s sound on it now with full turnout, proper nutrition and trimming. Stella is everything I could hope for in a lesson horse, and horse in general! She’s sweet, engaging, sensitive and considerate. I’m thrilled to add her to the little herd.
