There’s no doubt that Squirrel is Stephanie’s favorite horse on the farm. We brought her to the farm a few weeks shy of her first birthday and she quickly began showing off her quirky personality. She loves, loves, loves people and always tried to “help” us out with our jobs around the farm. She’s quite mischievous and has been known to carry off our shovels, knock down our ladders, block the bush hog, and break into the hay barn. On hot summer days, you can usually find her submerged in the farm’s pond or splashing herself in the trough. All of our Rockies are pretty friendly and personable, but she takes the cake. She is the most vocal horse we’ve ever met. She constantly serenades us on the trail and in the pasture - no joke - check out some of the videos below! We put her under saddle in 2023 and she racked up 140+ trail miles in her first year of trail riding. We had her certified at the beginning of 2024 and she is now Stephanie’s primary trail horse. She’s smooth as glass and an absolute dream to train. She’s brave with obstacles and wickedly smart. She picks up things extremely quick. So quick, that at three and a half, she started working bridleless. This year, we are focusing on gearing up for our first NATRC event in October and we are beginning to dabble in some local mounted shooting competitions.
