She has been everywhere, done everything, and loves it all, though her true passion is Jumping. Goodie has shown up to Novice level (2'11" Jumps), and has shown all over the Tri-State area. I reserve her for my intermediate beginners and more advanced riders as she can be a bit on the quick side, especially when it comes to Jumping. She is a blast to ride as well as smooth and comfortable. A few years ago, Goodie succumbed to a tumor in her left eye and has lost a good deal of her sight in that eye, but it hasn't slowed her down a bit! She still loves to run and Jump her heart out! Goodie is currently available for a partial lease to a rider with a moderate amount of experience, please contact Nikki for details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb2c0ce437362dde97513a/ac26199b-5883-481b-a657-c7f24a29f485/Bugs02.JPG Our Team - Space Jam aka “Bugs” Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

He is sweet, affectionate, and willing to try anything we ask him. Though we don't know if he has ever been a school horse before, Rusty is learning quickly that having many riders means lots of treats! His trot is springy and challenging, but his canter is a dream! We are teaching him the art of jumping, and he is adding new energy and life to our lesson program. As he builds muscle and gains weight, he is quickly becoming a favorite with the students. Rusty is currently available for a partial lease to a rider with some experience, please contact Nikki for details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb2c0ce437362dde97513a/7d6cf78d-0eec-41ab-b762-f7ce69af141b/20200701_105112.jpg Our Team - Asian Star Jasmine aka Jasmine Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Originally a rescue from Little Patch of Heaven, Thunder has made lots of friends and made lots of progress in his two years of training with us here at Pony Tails, and now he is ready for his Lesson Debut! Thunder is currently learning how to canter and jump under saddle now that he has conquered his walk and trot basics. He is finally moving to being ridden by more than one or two riders, and he is gaining confidence and skills. Thunder is quirky and cute and has a great personality. We are looking forward to including him more and more into the program. Thunder is currently available for lease to a rider with plenty of experience. Please contact Nikki for information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb2c0ce437362dde97513a/a149172e-e84f-4294-82fc-885c82dc3866/Resized_20241214_134316.JPEG Our Team - Saratoga’s Ransom aka “Sage” Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Another rescue from Fighting Chance Rescue, we don’t know much about her past except that she spent most of her life as a cart horse and was not in good shape when she was rescued. But she has moved on from that and is now living her best life learning everything from barrel racing to jumping and Dressage. She is a little quick, but she does great with kids and adults and is built like a little tank. Peaches enjoys her work but sometimes I feel like she still misses driving, so someday, I will find a cart that is big enough for her! Peaches loves treats, brushing, pets, and any kind of attention she can get, so be sure to stop by her stall and say hello if you are in the barn. Peaches is currently available for a partial lease to a rider with a moderate amount of experience, please contact Nikki for details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb2c0ce437362dde97513a/2e4ff9f9-996b-4980-b352-19ada777ab0b/20211016_161959.jpg Our Team - Spinnerette aka “Spinner” Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Liza is sweet beautiful, but has an unfortunate past, so she is a little distrustful of people at first. She has limited training at 16, and so is only being ridden by our more advanced riders for the time being. With some experience in Dressage and Jumping, Liza is well on her way to being a permanent member of the lesson program. Liza is currently unavailable for lease due to issues with arthritis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb2c0ce437362dde97513a/2470b012-d441-43c8-b2d6-e13abd332331/Resized_20241023_102618.JPEG Our Team - Scooter Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Ginger had been struggling with gastrointestinal issues for some time, and eventually her body just gave out. We believe that she had some kind of cancer. Ginger was a sweet girl who was mistreated and then thrown away, but we were happy to give her a loving home for the last few years of her life. We will miss her dearly and we will always hold her close in our hearts. Below is her profile as it appeared in 2022 and 2023. I hope that you and Penny are enjoying all the good grass you can handle in heaven. Ginger was rescued by “Fighting Chance Rescue” from an auction. She was most likely an Amish Plow Horse for most of her life, and she has little social experience. Luckily she is learning fast and she is super sweet. Ginger is gaited, which means that she cannot trot in a traditional sense, but her running walk gait is very comfortable. She is most likely crossed with a Tennessee Walker, though we cannot be sure. This lovely lady is quickly learning and integrating into our lesson program as she builds muscle and stamina to carry the kids around the arena. We are happy to have her with us! https://www.ponytailsridingcenter.com/about daily 0.75 2023-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61eb2c0ce437362dde97513a/cf41edbd-3a79-455d-a8b3-0f0cd75bd0e7/20201208_141629.jpg About We specialize in riding lessons for beginners and intermediate riders of all ages and backgrounds.
