Meet the crew

   Matt the Clydesdale gelding is the biggest horse at the ranch and he is the definition of a gentle giant! Matt loves treats, grass, brushing, and petting! You have to not only be careful of his big feet, but his big nose loves sneaking kisses too! He is a very large horse, so if you give this big itchy man some scratches you will have a best friend for life!

Sinbad is a draft horse cross and is as thick as he is tall! He's a gentle giant who will become your best friend in minutes! Although he is missing an eye making him the "pirate" of our crew, it doesn't bother him in the slightest and he loves attention! He may be big, but he sure thinks he's a lap dog!

Dreamer is a pure black Quarter Horse mare who absolutely adores everybody! Her sweet demeanor makes her perfect for cuddles and attention, which is her favorite thing! She is usually the first to meet you at the fence for some loving! Although she is petite with her little head and feet, she sure is mighty!

Gus is our youngest ranch horse! He is a dark bay Quarter Horse who loves rolling around, eating dandelions, and getting some nice scratches! He is a very playful horse who will always check to see if you have treats! Although he loves everyone, he isn't a big fan of photoshoots!

Sammy is a dun Quarter Horse gelding. He absolutely loves attention, petting, and brushing! He will be used for summer camps, therapy, and riding lessons!

Oakie is a liver chestnut Quarter Horse mare. She has previously showed in the NRHA and was a broodmare who had many babies! She will be used for lessons, therapy, trail rides, camps, and more!

Jules is our barn cat, but is more importantly the “supervisor” of everything at the ranch! She loves to snuggle, get petted, and you can usually find her sleeping on the hay in the barn! If you're lucky, she may even come join us in the arena during riding lessons and camps!

Momma showed up at the ranch during our big flood during the spring of 2024, and she had quite a surprise for us! She was caring for 5 kittens while fending for herself before we found them. Now she is a cherished member of our barn cat crew!

Stetson is one of the kittens we found with Momma! He is such a sweet boy, catching all of the bugs and grasshoppers! He is such a great helper (in his mind) and will make sure you always have a partner in the barn!

Seven was the only female kitten Momma had! She is a sweet girl who loves attention, and will be sure to let you know when she's not getting enough! Seven loves playing with her brother, but will commonly be found taking naps on the hay!

Monte is the youngest member of our ranch kitty crew whom we adopted from the ARL in Marshalltown. He is a little nervous around new people, but once he gets to know you, he will be meowing for you to pet him!

  Tabby is the oldest member of our ranch cats whom we also adopted from the ARL in Marshalltown. Although she doesn’t enjoy playing with her brother, her favorite thing to do is keep Debbie company in the office sharing her desk chair!
