We are so thankful for Peppy 💚

🎉 Congratulations to the IHSA Hall of Fame Class of 2026 inductee Colonel Pepenator from the State University of New York-Oswego!

🏆 "Peppy has won national championships in all three western divisions: reining, ranch riding and horsemanship. He’s done everything at Nationals from beginner walk-trot up to the reining," said Dan Bergstresser, who trains the SUNY Oswego IHSA team.

"Though he is a stallion, you’d never know it as he’s a mellow guy," said Jill Bergstresser, co-coach of the SUNY Oswego IHSA team. "He was actually the first stud that they allowed to go lower than open, and within a year or two, he made his way all the way down to beginner because he was that level of trustworthy."

➡️ Trainers Jennifer and Tom Hoyt helped owner Catherine Berdan Pettite donate the Quarter Horse stallion to SUNY Oswego and he quickly became a barn favorite. While he showed plenty of pizzazz in the show pen with his IHSA riders, he’s just as happy carrying around a young child in a summer camp lesson.
