Featured Horses

Tux, a 9 year old large paint pony, has been liv­ing at Oak Hill farm. His back­ground is in the hunter world. The Tarulli Family has gra­ciously loaned Tux to Mitey Riders now that their daugh­ter has out­grew him. Tux has already proved to us that he loves his new job. He is sweet and kind and has taken care of many of our Mitey Riders: Matthew S., Brian S., Roma L., & Katie H.

Case is a 14 yr old, 17.2hh Oldenburg geld­ing who spent his ear­lier years trav­el­ing the globe as an Open Show Jumper. Since arriv­ing at Misty Meadows, Case has set­tled in well and become a favorite on the farm. He is a kind, sweet addi­tion to our team of Mitey horses. Currently Case is part­nered with Mitey Riders Tristan K., Adam F., and Brad L.. As he con­tin­ues to learn and work in the pro­gram, we hope more rid­ers will get the chance to learn from this great horse.

Snow Lilly is an 18-year-old Welsh Pony, given to us by the Oakley Family about 6 years ago. Emma and Ray Oakley still vol­un­teer for us on occa­sion when they are not busy prepar­ing or rid­ing in their own horse shows. Snow Lilly gives our Mitey Riders the abil­ity to learn a great deal because of her calm tem­pera­ment and steady gaits. The Mitey Riders cur­rently rid­ing Snow Lilly are: Hailey G., Christopher W., Justin B., Meghan W. and Frannie C. When Snow Lilly is not work­ing you can find her graz­ing in Pasture 2 with Chief and Sugar. *Photo shows Snow Lilly dressed up as the Mad Hatter for Halloween!

General is a Percheron by breed and is owned by Kari Smith who was train­ing him in vault­ing and dres­sage until she became preg­nant with her first child. It was great tim­ing for Mitey Riders, as we needed a large horse to ride some of our older kids. General truly is a “gen­tle giant,” and has made fast friends with Mitey Riders Nathan V., Bucky N., and Matt P. Everything about him is large, except for his attitude.

Red is a 14.2hh, 24-year old Welsh cross who came to Misty Meadows in 1998. He is a rich liver chest­nut and has a beau­ti­ful white star on his fore­head. Red has put many a smile on our Mitey Rider’s faces, over the years, and is often used for our more timid rid­ers. His soft eyes and perky ears set our days ready to ride. His favorite treat is peanut but­ter crack­ers! He is one of our “Oldie Goldie’s” and hope­fully will be with us for many years to come!
