Grange Fair Costume Class ✅🐴🤩
We are so proud of Paislee and Charlotte for showing June and Sweetie and coming up with great costume ideas! No one took home a ribbon from our group but it was a fun class and a great experience. With about 25 entries, only six horses got to place 😳😅.

Oh, the places you'll go! 🐴😎🚗
From 2023-2025, our horses have traveled several HUNDRED miles to various locations for various parties, activities and events! This map shows a summary of locations our horses have visited in 2023, 2024, and 2025 so far! Many locations we've also visited 2-3 times so far which isn't represented on the map. Special thanks to those who have hosted us and continue to host us each year for repeat events! We rack up miles pretty quickly between community events and private events. Schedule us to visit your next event and help us add a few more purple horses to our map. 🤩

Meet the herd:

These are the special equines that currently make up our herd and program! Sweetie, June, Eli, Titan, and Misty. The hope is that our horses are each with us for life. At 25, 8, 25, almost 9, and 10 (and formerly Cinnamon at about 33) years old, we have a wide spread of ages. Some have been with us their whole lives, most of their lives, and some just a few years so far. We do all we can to work with them each horse as an individual just like our students and teach things based on how they learn and really try to lean in on each horse’s strengths for certain activities. Here’s an idea of some of each horse’s favorite activities:

Eli: jumping focused lessons, advanced horsemanship, paint a pony
Sweetie: beginner lessons, beginner small child riding, birthday parties at the barn or traveling, being a unicorn, camps, paint a pony, horse hikes, and some light in hand jumping
Titan: starting with some light pony rides, paint a pony, horse hikes, camps, jumping
June: horse hikes, paint a pony, travel events, camps, being a unicorn
Misty: horsemanship lessons, beginning or semi advanced riding, camps, pony rides, and we are still learning more of what Misty enjoys!

Without each horse past and present we wouldn’t be who we are today. These guys are really the stars of the show! We will be hosting a student fun show this fall so you can come for free to meet some students, the horses, and see what they’ve been learning together. More info TBA after grange fair!

Meet the “Herd”:
Hi! We’re Josh & Isabel! We run The Mini Whinnies at Quarter Acre Wood. Isabel handles most of the horse training, lessons, scheduling, and planning activities while also working part time in a media role. Josh helps whenever he can outside of his full time job. We like to have fun and make sure our guests and horses are also having fun while learning important horse skills, escaping from the busy of life through things like watercolor workshops or horse hikes or more, and helping fund the equines we have in our herd. We are so blessed by our herd and love to share them with others when we can. 😊

Josh was new to horses when he met Isabel but has learned a lot along the way and is able to be a huge help with activities and horse care. Isabel has about 16 years of experience caring for horses, several years volunteering for various therapeutic riding barns, training horses, several years riding experience, and several years teaching horsemanship and beginner riding lessons. She also loves to plan the fun activities for all ages, host barn birthday parties, and more. Anything horses and art is kind of her jam. 😁

We also wanted to give a shoutout to our friends .sc who gave Josh and Isabel a preview of their new photo studio in State College with free photos! Check them out on Instagram and possibly get a free photo session this week!
