Our farm..

The third generation of the farm grew up on these two horses, part of what started it all.

Especial Style- a 2004 Quarter Horse gelding is our main old man. Our instructor, Mikayla, grew up showing this guy starting at Massillon Saddle Club in lead-line and has taken him everywhere in her career in 4-H, qualified for the Ohio State Fair multiple years. Once she aged out he became the start of our lesson program. He has carried a handful of youth riders besides Mikayla at the Stark County Fair and Summit County Fair.

Cue D Spunky- a 2008 Appendix Quarter Horse who completely stole our instructors heart. Spunky was the “last” of our founding generation’s breeding program that was around for 30+ years. Mikayla has bred and foaled out Spunky’s first foal in 2024 and has sparked the adventure to continue the program as she can in the future.
