Curious George

This is George. He is a good little monkey — and always very curious. But George is not a monkey—he’s a horse! He is a very tall warmblood-cross gelding, 16’2” hands to be exact. Much taller than a monkey ever could be.

George is seven years old and full of curiosity. He likes to sniff everything — the brushes, your pockets, even the dogs and cats. When he first came home in November 2023, he didn’t know very much at all. He would wear a halter and walk on a lead (if you could catch him), but that was it. Everything else was brand new.

George watched the other horses and thought, “I want to learn that too!” So he did. In the spring, he learned to walk, trot, and canter under saddle. The walk was easy. The trot was bouncy and fun. The canter—well, that one still takes some practice, but George is improving every day. His gaits are super smooth and so easy for his rider to sit too.

George likes to move forward and listens very carefully. Sometimes he hears a funny sound and will react — just to make sure everything is okay. He’s not scared, just curious.

He tried jumping once or twice and thought it was exciting. But he prefers keeping all four feet on the ground and will be an elegant dressage partner. He likes to show off his floaty trot and stretchy walk.

On the ground, George loves attention. He happily stands tied for grooming and loves being fussed over, though cross-ties are still a bit puzzling. He is excellent for the vet, and the farrier says George has decent manners, even if he wiggles his toes sometimes.

George is a big boy with big solid feet. What he really wants is an advanced, confident rider or trainer looking for a prospect who will keep teaching him new things—because Curious George loves to learn.

Every day is an adventure for George, and we can’t wait to see what he’ll discover next.

Fancy athletic mare with unlimited potential.

“Cozette” (Cat Lak) is a lovely 2016 16.1 OTTB mare with fantastic gaits, good mind and gallop/scope for the upper levels of Eventing. Correctly restarted, trained, and campaigned by professionals to novice level at recognized events in several different venues across multiple states. Cozette is intuitive, careful over fences, forward without being hot. She is super sweet, not mareish, and straightforward to handle on the ground with a conscientious handler. This mare is eager to please and thrives under a kind and confident rider - consistency & clarity are key! As persons experienced with TB’s can relate - she has a great work ethic and is all heart but beginners and timid riders need not apply. Cozette lives outside 24/7 and is good for the vet/farrier and is an easy traveler. Her ideal partner would be an advanced/confident AA/JR or young professional.
