Master Douglas

Show Name//Master Douglas
Barn Name//Doug
Age//6
Breed//Arab X
Colour//Buckskin
Height//15.1 Hands High
Gender//Gelding
Personality//Doug is a placid and calm ride. He can be lazy and needs a rider that will get the fire in him burning, however for beginners he is a perfect starter horse. Most of the time he's either sleeping or eating, both of which are favourite past times of his. Don't underestimate him though, he is able to put on a lot of speed in a short when asked to, and can be highly emotional when ignored. He loves young children, but he's fantastic with the older ones as well. He can be given to any level of rider.
History//Doug was exported to the UK about a year ago where the College found at an auction. All that is known about his previous history is that he was a rodeo champion a few years ago.

Misty View

Show Name//Misty View
Barn Name//Mist
Age//7
Breed//American Mustang
Colour//Dark bay
Height//15 hands
Gender//Mare
Personality//Mist is intelligent and she knows it. She can be testing, but also knows when she can pull her tricks. She can feel when her rider is a beginner and she knows when they are advanced. There are many times when she has grounded the most advanced riders, and then looked like she was laughing at them. Her overall attitude is friendly and curious. She loves being cuddled, and loved. She's usually the first one to stick her head over the stall door, and the first one fed. In the paddock she is the lead mare, and many have suffered bites from her.
History//Mist was rounded up the BLM in Nevada when she was a foal. She was adopted and worked as a ranch horse for most of her life. She's cow smart, and makes a good rodeo horse when it comes to competition. Mist came to the Academy last year when she was sold at an Auction.

Fun Fair

Show Name//Fun Fair
Barn Name//Parade
Age//10
Breed//Appaloosa
Colour//Bay Blanket
Height//16 hands
Gender//Gelding
Personality//He has a bit more spunk in him than some of the other horses. He's a tad excitable, but is just a big sweetheart. He's a safe ride and never spooks at anything. He has a small fear of water, but will always go through. Parade is just an awesome to horse to ride as his moods make riding interesting.
History//Parade was bred in England, and never really had much exposure to the cattle side of things. Sometimes he also thinks he's a cow, but the family were Western riders. He competed overseas in Western Pleasure classes, and took the championships many times. He was sold to the College about 3 months ago.

Leopard Creek

Show Name//Leopard Creek
Barn Name//Creek
Age//6
Breed//Appaloosa
Colour//Black Few Spot Leopard
Height//15.2 hands
Gender//Mare
Personality//Creek is a feisty one. She's calm and collected at times, but when in one of her moods she's grumpy and stubborn. She's a good teacher, and good with beginners, though she needs an advanced rider to take her for a full out gallop at least once a week. Creek is patient to an extent, but when annoyed brings out her stubborn side.
History//Born in Minnesota, Creek was raised by hand. Her dam died shortly after her birth, and Creek was orphaned. The surrogate rejected her, which in the end led to the being raised by hand. Her owner was a young girl of 14, and when she outgrew Creek, was passed onto her brother. Somehow the mare ended up being sold to various homes, one of which is now the College.
Discipline//Cutting, roping, pleasure, barrels.

Jack in the Box

Show Name//Jack in the Box
Barn Name//Jack
Age//8
Breed//Paint
Colour//Bay Overo
Height//15.3 hands
Gender//Gelding
Personality//Jack is a sweetheart, and is absolutely lovable. He loves any rider, as long they don't jerk on the reins. His sensitive mouth means that he's always ridden in a snaffle, and a port by the most experienced rider. He's a bit of a plodder, but just needs to see a cow or steer and then he's rearing to go. He needs a rider that will be as playful as he is, doesn't matter if they are a beginner or advanced.
History//Originally bred in Texas, Jack was sold as a yearling to a ranch in Calgary, Canada. He lived there for a few years before being sent to auction. This is how it went on for a few years, each year a different auction, each year a new home. This is when the College picked him up, and he's been here for the last year. His attitude is perfect for the College, and he has crept into the hearts of many.

Living a comfy life she competed all around the world and ended up retiring from top level in England.

Making Your Mind Up

Show Name//Making Your Mind Up
Barn Name//Mack
Age//6
Breed//American Paint Horse
Colour//Grulla
Height//15.2 hands
Gender//Gelding (Recent)
Personality//Mack is a pain in the backside. He's not the meanest thing you could come across, but he has a knack for winding up his owners and neighbors. Though, in the field he's very placid and laid back, he's not one to assert his dominance within a 'herd' which means he can be kept with other stallions and geldings easily. He's a very showy horse by nature though, always one to show off and have humans drawn to him. He knows he's handsome. His stall manners are almost perfect when he's in the right mind set, he doesn't like causing pain to others. He's very elegant in the way he holds himself too, not one to be clumsy like others. He's a real gentleman when he wants to be.

To ride, he gets very jumpy before hand but settles down quickly. Competitions are something he loves, it's as if he lives for them. He knows how to put on a show and really is a pleasure to watch. He does love the trails though and would spend his life on them if he could, making him perfectly happy to just be a pleasure horse if his owner wanted him to be.
History//Mack comes from a long line of Barrel racing Paint's bred in the UK. Scotland to be exact. Not usually a place you would think they would come from, but they are renowned world champions and he has relatives all over the world. Mack has remained in the UK though, he lived in Scotland for the first three years of his life before coming to England. He has been with the same rider since, but she has outgrown the sport. Wanting to sell him on, she wants to see how much she can get for him at the local auction. If it isn't enough, she plans on taking him to a larger one or returning him to his birth stables. He has now been bought by the college.
