“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

When he is let out of his stall after breakfast, Ranger’s tail rises and he prances around the pasture like he has no worries in the world. Ranger comes to the sound of his name when called and he hears a whistle. He loves whinnying and neighing back to anyone he hears talking to him. Ranger has been kept for the last three months with a yearling colt and not only does he look out for the colt but he won’t leave him alone in the pasture or at the barn.
