These days, Cedar spends most of the week days hanging out in the field although he does work hard on weekends especially, teaching lower level riders. He is a safe and trustworthy guy, so he has developed quite a fan club over the years!

"Davey Crocket" aka Davey:
Davey is definately a cutie! He is an 8 year old, black & white Paint, 14.1 hands, gelding. Davey comes to us with quite a bit of show experience. All winter he was shown in the Children's Hunter Pony division with one of our students. He has a funny personality which makes everyone smile.

"Mocha Mike" aka Duke:
Duke is the old master. He is 29 years old still teaching lessons! He is a grey, 15.3 hand, Quarter Horse, gelding. Duke is still enjoying his lessons. Though he doesn't jump anymore, he continues to teach kids about riding as he is one of the safest and most knowledgeable horses we've ever come across. He sure doesn't think he is old as you can frequently see him playing outside, bucking and running in his paddock! He has taken many riders to state championships through 4-H and has helped many improve their riding during their time on his back.

Girlie is another favorite here at Lucky C Stables. She is a 17 year old, bay, Quarter Horse, mare, 15.1 hands. Girlie loves teaching people how to ride. She is the perfect size to make any rider feel at ease. Girlie loves teaching every lesson from the very walk trot beginners all the way to those able to jump around a course. Her even temper helps build confidence in her riders.

Grit is a new addition to Lucky C Stables. He is a 16.2 hand, bay, Thoroughbred, gelding. He is a very sweet horse and although he is still learning the ropes of jumping, he is very good at what he already knows. He has a big jump in him, meaning he will be able to jump high once he gains more experience.

Jack is a very experienced lesson horse. He has been to many shows up and down the east coast both prior and during his time here at Lucky C. Jack is an upperlevel horse and he is frequently leased out because he is a top show horse. Jack knows of all the equitation tricks including counter cantering and test work.

Mikey is another fantastic lesson horse. He is a 14 year old, 16.2 hand, grey, Thoroughbred, gelding. Mikey has a lot of jumping experience and loves to teach his riders how to comfortably navigate a course. Mikey will also gladly give beginners their confidence as they take one step at a time. Mikey is one of the kindest horses around. He too loves to attend shows whether it is helping out at the occassional intercollegiate show, travelling to Syracuse for the 4-H Championships or showing on the local & rated circuit, Mikey is happy to assist!

Nemo is a fiesty little pony jumper who has been a fun addition to our equine staff. He is an 8 year old, 14.2 hand, dun & white pinto, gelding. He absolutely loves to jump and we've learned he is very fast and efficient! He is used for the more advanced jumping lessons typically, or those learning the real basics.

Patrick is another old veteran here at Lucky C. He is a 22 year old, 16.1 hand, liver chestnut, gelding. These days Patrick assists primarily with lower level lessons. He is an expert on the lunge line, giving new riders their confidence.

Puffin is the pony ride master. His entire life has pretty much revolved around pony parties and pony rides. He is present during the holiday toy drive although he doesn't really participate in the lesson program, we consider him just as important as the others! He is a 14 hand, 29 year old, bay pony.

Skip is a 6 year old, 16 hand, Thoroughbred, gelding. He is an ex-racehorse who loves his job now as a show horse. Although Skip is for sale, we use him in the more advanced lessons because he requires the rider to show confidence in their riding abilities. He is a great training tool because he is a little greener than our other horses. Skip showed successfully as a 4 year old in the Baby Green Hunters up at HITS Saugerties in 2008. He has also made his mark at other rated shows where he has experience in the jumper and hunter ring. For more information on Skip, look under the sales section of our website.

"Sweet Cyprus" aka Sweetie:
Sweetie is a 16.1 hand, bay, Thoroughbred, gelding. He is been in the barn for many years and has tons of experience showing. He is used primarily for intermediate to advanced level lessons but more recently he has taken a liking to teaching the timid. Sweetie is a very sweet horse.

Toney is a fabulous addition to our lesson program owned by the Neumann family, Brittany and her mother Debbie graciously allow us to use Toney when needed. Toney is a 15.3 hand, 17 year old, bay & white paint, gelding. Prior to Brittany going away to college, she spent a lot of time with Toney making him a very educated horse. She also put a fair share of show miles on him, making him an ideal teacher and confidence builder.

Walker is a 20 year old, 16.2 hand, dark bay, Thoroughbred, gelding. He is another old school master here at Lucky C. He is a really fun horse to ride with a very sweet personality. He is used for all levels of riding although he has slowly stopped jumping considerable height in his lessons.
