Zahtar is our star instructor, a bay 14.1 hh Arabian who was a Western Pleasure horse for 20 years -- and then discovered a new life as a lesson pony for basic instruction, jumping, and mounted games.  His gentle, affectionate nature makes him a favorite of our younger students.  He has a secret passion for games, however -- watch him fly through those bending poles!  Zahtar is proud to be a USPC Championships pony.

Heaven is the consummate games pony -- fast and flashy -- with many years of experience at Pony Club National Championships.  A 14.1 hh chestnut Arab/Quarter Horse cross, Heaven has been Pony Clubbed through the C levels, and can teach games, dressage, show jumping, and cross-country to intermediate and advanced students.  She's also a kind and forgiving instructor to young beginners.

Everyone seems to fall in love Sage, our beautiful grey 15.1 hh Quarter Horse.  Sage began her career as a trail horse, but under owner Jon Wieberg's guidance Sage learned to jump and to foxhunt.  Sage's Pony Club experience has helped her become a favorite instructor for students of all ages -- especially students who enjoy braiding her long white mane and tail!  Sage has been Pony Clubbed into the C Levels.

Biscuit is a 15.2 hh palomino Quarter Horse gelding who excels as a safe and steady instructor for advanced beginner riders.  His laid-back personality makes him an ideal walk/trot mount -- and a favorite around the barn, where he gets to help teach unmounted horse care lessons. Ask Rhonda how she taught Biscuit to "smile" for treats!

Hitman is a rescued pony (named for an unfortunate encounter with a hit-and-run vehicle) who has turned into a dependable little instructor -- and a budding Games fanatic!  This bay Quarter Horse gelding stands only 13.2 hh tall, but he has the heart and the determination of a much bigger horse.  Hitman teaches dressage, jumping, and cross-country up to the Pony Club D-3 Level -- but he and Kaitlin would play Games all day if we'd let them!

Want to know more about the organization that rescued Hitman?  Check out our friend Cheryl's rescue group at www.savethehorses.org -- and please consider sending them a donation in Hitman's name!

Abraham is what we call a "schoolmaster" -- a been-there-done-that type of guy.  A chestnut 15.3 hh Appendix (we think), Abraham has a wealth of training and experience to share.  He's a true gentleman under saddle:  polite and willing on the flat, honest and steady over fences.  He's enjoying the opportunity to take Destiny to a new level of riding -- and to his new role as an instructor at The Stables for riders of all ages and abilities.
