Our Horses

   
In Addition to Being Trained
These Great Horses Are Here
to Help Train Us and
Our Students

  
We invite you to meet our horses. On our farm we have everything from a mustang of the Nevada wilderness to an off the track retired Thoroughbred race horse, numerous beautiful Arabian mares, an amazing Arabian stallion, two incredibly well built and well natured Quarter Horse mares, and two Quarter Horse stud colts with very sweet dispositions.

Our horses are at times available as lesson horses for students that don’t own a horse and are also available for people who come from out of town to our clinics and are not able to bring horses.

Carlo - Mustang from Nevada:
In the winter of 2005 Carlo was taken from the wilderness in Nevada. He was 12 years old before he made his first human contact. He’s made a special contact with Gis and in the summer of 2007 she was able to halter, lunge and groom him, quite an accomplishment for both of them.


Libera-Chi “Cha Chi” - Quarter Horse:
Cha Chi was born in May 2007. His Dam (4 Ella) was purchased in foal from Haythorn Ranch and Cattle Co. in Nebraska. With this little fella’s mind and body he is turning out to be a great stud prospect. His breeding goes back to some of the Quarter Horse greats like Doc O’lena, Boco Bueno, The Continental, My Beaver, and Eddie.

The Bronz “Fonzi” - Arab Stud Colt:
Fonzi was born in 2006. He was purchased from Rideaufield Farms near Ottawa. He has beautiful movement, a soft eye and is eager to please. Fonzi is a big boy, standing at 15hh as a yearling. He is short coupled, has a super sweet face with the gorgeous neck we love to see in the Arabian breed. He comes from a long line of champions, his sire, Pomerol, was Champion Stallion every time out. His grand sire Padron was both US and Canadian National Champion.

His dam Xceptshahnly Maid, is an Xceptshan daughter out of a Three-B-Rasheik daughter. We feel this young fellow holds a lot of promise.

Rosewood Gemquest “Gem” - Arab Gelding:
Gem is an 11 year old Arab gelding that really lives up to his name, he truly is a gem. Anybody that has spent any time with this boy knows why he is called “Gem”. Gem is used regularly as a lesson horse for our students as well as a competitor in the show ring. Gem has numerous regional championships, and has competed at the national level as well.


Cha Chi & Ella
Four Ella “Ella”- Quarter Horse Mare:
Four “Ella” is Cha Chi’s Dam, purchased from Haythorn Ranch and Cattle Co. in Nebraska. She is a very sweet, gentle mare, and comes from great blood lines, going back to Poco Bueno, Hug Bars, Doc O’lena, Gin Echols. Great mind, solid body, and a willing spirit is what she is all about, this is exactly what we want for our breeding program.
China RF - Arab Mare:
This is Gisela’s little sweetheart. China was born in April 2004; she was the first horse Symphony Stables brought home from Rideaufield Farms. This little beauty was sired by Amarath Bakal, who himself was out of Bask & Sanacht. Her dam NV Masira was out of Bey Shah & Shantu.

Gis has started China under saddle and has found her a treat to work with. With eyes like pools of very deep water, a very willing attitude and a marvellous sense of humour, China keeps Gis laughing during every training session, she is a dream come true. This little lady will always have a special place on our farm.


Without Xceptshahn RF “Flip” - Arab Mare:
Gisela has referred to "Flip" as “the other woman” in Walt’s life. Flip was born in Apr 2003, and had her opening debut to the reining world in 2008. This great mare’s breeding goes back to the Arab greats like Khemosabi, Bask & Bey Shah. Her sire Xceptshahn has one of the highest ratios of champion to get in North America. Really looking forward to our future with this fine young lady.



Tess being long lined by Chris Irwin
Four Yellow “Tess” - Quarter Horse Mare:
Tess was born in June 2004. This beautiful Palomino was purchased from Haythorn Ranch and Cattle Co. in Nebraska. She is another very easy mare to be around, super friendly, very laid back, yet when it’s time to get to work, she’s game. At 14.3 and a very solid frame with a strong hind end, we are sure she will produce many beautiful foals for reininng her bloodlines go back to Colonel Freckles, Snickelfritz Chex, War Drift, and My Beaver. She has been started under saddle and is doing great. We hope to add some more colour to our herd with this young lady in the future.


Four Brown “Gus” - Quarter Horse Stud Colt:
This awesome little colt was born in June 2006. What an amazing little colt, he has the temperament that you would like to pass on to any horse. In his very short life, Gus has already been a very integral part of one student’s Equine Assisted Personal Development (EAPD) program. Gus is another one of the very well bred horses from Haythorn Ranch and Cattle Co. in Nebraska. This little colt’s breeding goes back to War Drift, My Beaver, and Eddy Eighty. We see a bright future for this little guy in the very near future.


Aristabask OC “Rio” - Arab Mare:
Rio was born in June 2000. Talk about solid! This little mare is built close to the ground with plenty of power in her hind end with a very solid short coupled back. She has a real soft eye and a heart as big as her solid body. She has been deemed our “therapeutic horse”, she has willingly participated in several Equine Assisted Personal Development (EAPD) sessions. The effect she has on people, the trust she has been showing to those that really require it of her has been astonishing.
