At the 2026 T.I.P. Championships, the special award for the Most Recently Raced horse participating in a T.I.P. Championship Division was awarded to Gallant King (IRE), a 2023 gelding by Night of Thunder (IRE) out of Aeronautical. His last race was April 26, 2026 at Gulfstream Park. Gallant King and rider Hannah Madsen participated in Western Dressage.

We had THE BEST time at our Ironwood Fun Fall Event! From I-Spy Pumpkins trail rides, Trick-or-treating from horseback and team events, to the MOST SPECTACULAR costume class yet!

We currently have two wonderful on-site half-lease opportunities available!

Saint is a 15-year-old draft-cross gelding with a gentle disposition and easygoing nature. He rides comfortably both English and Western, making him a great fit for a variety of riding goals and disciplines. Though quiet enough for beginners, Saint is best suited for an advanced beginner to intermediate rider who has a solid foundation at the walk and trot and is ready to continue building confidence and skills.

Reno is a 5-year-old Mustang gelding who has been professionally trained and has a year of riding experience under saddle. He is kind, easy to handle, people-oriented, and a willing partner. Reno has a solid walk, trot, and canter in both directions, and reliable brakes. He goes over trot poles and has begun schooling cross-rails. Reno is best suited for a confident, experienced rider looking to enjoy his athletic potential.

We are conveniently located in the Mooresville area and offer flexible lease options for both Saint and Reno. Lease arrangements can be customized to fit your riding goals and schedule. For more information or to schedule a visit, please reach out.
