Meet The Herd ✨️ Hope & Holly
Hope is a 10yr old Shetland pony mare & Holly is a 3yr old Miniature Horse mare.
We bought these two together as the first ponies for our program and to train for skijoring & liberty! They have FAR exceeded our expectations and every day we find more reasons to adore these little ladies!
✨️ Hope ✨️
Hope was rescued by the woman we bought her from and had a very rough life before she was saved. She was emaciated with a dull coat and worried eyes (see photos 2 & 3), until she was saved by the woman we bought her from. After years of being on the mend and learning to trust, she had to find a new home at no fault of her own (her owner REALLY didn't want to part with her OR holly) and we were thrilled to be a good fit for her and for her owner to entrust her to our program!
She is currently pregnant to a miniature stallion and should be having a foal this spring! We are so excited to see her become a mom and are wishing her a healthy, uncomplicated foaling. She is very reserved with new people but has been making leaps and bounds towards trusting us lately, which makes my heart so happy that she is opening up to us. Her personality is shining through more every day and the more she shows us...the more we fall for her!
✨️ Holly ✨️
Holly is the smallest Equine on the farm at a mere 29 inches tall. What she lacks in height she sure makes up for with a larger than life attitude! She has no problem telling off horses 15 times her size and can frequently be found nipping at the boarder horse, Tango, through the fence; enticing him to play with her.
She is confident, loving, mischievous and absolutely precious! She is perfect for younger kids to learn and play with from the ground and we feel so blessed to have her here with us in the program. Holly will be travelling to retirement homes and birthday parties to teach about miniature horses and provide comfort to those needing a little pony love in their lives!
