The School Herd

A couple months ago, I offered to help my former boss at the riding school where I taught at with her business Facebook page. One of the things we wanted to do was highlight the school herd. Each horse and pony was specifically selected and trained to be the best schoolmasters out there for beginning riders. The barn is tailored towards beginning to intermediate level young riders (starting at 4 years old) so the herd is mostly ponies and a few small horses. I finally got the last horse's album up today. It was an interesting process, but I didn't realize how much work was involved in digging through all the photos dating back to when the school opened. Since I use many of these ponies for examples on the forum and they are stuffed into the gallery all over the place, I thought I'd link to them in case anyone was interested. Some are pretty interesting colorwise and others conformationwise :grin: [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.299336106761670.84317.21572834… and Buckwheat[/url] Bay grade and Grey dun Miniature Mediterranean Donkey [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.300330913328856.84539.21572834…] Flaxen Chestnut ArabianXShetland pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.303487176346563.85188.21572834…] Black Tobiano Shetland pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.304021812959766.85256.21572834…] Chestnut Quarter pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.301768073185140.84893.21572834…] Bay Dun Fjord [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.307196055975675.85719.21572834…] Grullo Tobiano FjordX [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.306453682716579.85602.21572834…] Bay Dun FjordXdraft [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.307677045927576.85780.21572834…] Black Shetland pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.308476205847660.85874.21572834…] Brown Tobiano ArabX [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.310228749005739.86179.21572834…] Chestnut Quarter horse [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.310803975614883.86276.21572834…] Bay Dun Fjord [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.311459062216041.86348.21572834…] Flaxen Chestnut WelshXHaflinger [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.312217318806882.86456.21572834…] Flaxen Chestnut pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.312758732086074.86555.21572834…] Silver Black pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.314518658576748.86902.21572834… [/url]Bay Dun Kiger Mustang [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.315157531846194.87002.21572834…] Chestnut Appaloosa pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.315883271773620.87107.21572834…] Chestnut Arabian [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.316295225065758.87159.21572834…] Brown Quarter horse [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.316976564997624.87240.21572834…] Brown Tobiano Splash pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.319059448122669.87483.21572834…] Bay Tobiano Splash pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.319910698037544.87611.21572834…] Brown Tobiano Splash pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.320500894645191.87710.21572834…] Brown Quarter pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.321297804565500.87839.21572834… Wayne[/url] Chestnut Quarter pony [url=http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.321800127848601.87918.21572834…] Palomino Welsh pony

Thanks guys! It must be an undertaking to read through them all in one sitting! You probably noticed that the captions for the pictures dwindled towards the end; there is only some many times you can repeat the same type thing before your brain shuts down :grin: Bandit is definitely a barn favorite and everyone loves to ride him. Jesse is more of a challenging ride so a lot of the older kids set a goal of getting to move up on to him.
