I currently have nine horses living at the ranch. Some of them are young and still in
training, some are stallions and some are retired. I have owned some of them longer
than others, but they are all part of our family and I will make sure they get taken
care of for life. The horses that you will meet now are trained and eager to hit the
trails:
Blue for short!
Midnight Blue
Blue is a Paint Horse that I trained after having taken her on from non ideal
circumstances. She is curious and courageous and can walk in front, however she feels
more comfortable in second position. Her canter is soft and it feels like gliding on
wings. She is a sensitive horse who can be opinionated.

Fidel
Fidel loves to walk in front with his ears perked the whole time, enjoying the
leadership. He is curious, kind and calm.

calm and peaceful
Shadow
Shadow is a beautiful six year old purebred Quarter Horse, originally brought from
Belgium and registered with Belgian documents. She has a calm and peaceful nature.
Shadow enjoys being part of the herd, but she normally prefers to travel near the back,
as she does not feel the need to compete with the other horses or push herself to the
front.

Growing up at the ranch
Not every member of the herd is ready for the trails yet. Meet the youngest:
Shadow's son
Magnus
Magnus is one of the youngest members of our ranch family, at around one and a half
years old. He is Shadow's son, and his sire is one of our stallions, a son of Maximum
Gun, with Gunner in his bloodline. With this strong Quarter Horse heritage, we believe
this little fellow has a very promising future.
Magnus is curious and interested in people. He enjoys approaching visitors, sniffing
them and discovering what is happening around him. At the same time, he is a young colt
who is beginning to test boundaries and show that he wants to be the boss. When being
caught or handled, he may sometimes attempt to bite or kick, so he must always be
approached carefully and managed by someone experienced.
We are already working gently and consistently with Magnus, teaching him trust,
respect and good manners. Over the coming year, his training will gradually become more
structured, preparing him for future saddle work when he is physically and mentally
ready. Beneath his cheeky young stallion behaviour, Magnus is a sweet, intelligent baby
with plenty of character and potential.
