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. He’s dominant in the herd and has struggled to trust that someone else can look out for him. He's becoming quite the gentle and curious guy as he grows.
Solo is my personal horse, he’s not suitable 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.
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. Currently she's working through her life's emotional patterns. She's being used for groundwork lessons and will be available for ridden lessons in the future.
