Our Herd

What we Love:  Benny is known for his droppy lower lip that bounces when he trots and the tiny gray heart-shaped mark on his muzzle.  Benny loves to do his job and will help you get the bridle on before directs you to the door on his stall.  A gentle giant, Benny’s riders come in all sizes from small child to grown adult, and he’s exceptionally proud of being able to stop at “the drop of a woah”.

What we Love: This little mare knows her name VERY well…especially when it is time to eat! Watching her canter over to the feed pan is one of the cutest things we’ve seen around here. She has a fantastic, out-going personality and she loves people. Of course her best friend is Toni the Pony. She is trained for mounted lessons and also to pull carriages (also known as driving). Our smaller riders love her and think it’s so entertaining when she trots – you will ALWAYS see them giggling away with the biggest smile as they balance themselves in their saddle.

What we Love: When you meet Lila the first thing you may notice is her beautiful curly coat and mane in the winter months; this is typical of her breed, a Bashkir curly. If you come back 6 months later, her coat is smooth!  She is perfect to teach our school groups and individual riders how to groom because she is hypo-allergenic tested.

What we Love: He is a been there, done that, kind of guy. There is nothing he hasn’t done, and nothing he can’t do. From the moment Skunk stepped on our property, he has been an integral part of our program in many different aspects. He is Winslow’s ambassador so to say, visiting local schools and doing demonstrations in front of large crowds seemingly unfazed by all of the attention.  Everybody, and we mean EVERYBODY, loves Skunk.

What we Love: Toni makes up for her small size through her larger than life personality and sass.

She is our favorite for teaching our smallest riders how to lead and also enjoys walking and being led by our riders in wheelchairs too.

What we Love: His background in dressage makes his gaits very rhythmic, perfect for our therapeutic riding clients. There is no denying why Yars is a favorite amongst our riders, with his classic Friesian traits of a short back, high neck, making it easy to show off his flashy and showy movements. He is registered with the United States Equitation Federation.
