Our Horses

ZiZi has been with Black Dog Farm's lesson program longer than any of the other horses. Throughout all of the years, ZiZi has remained a pony full of spunk. You would never guess that she is over seventeen  years old. Even with her energy, ZiZi loves to tote around the littlest of riders with great care. Her smooth trot is a barn favorite! 

Cricket was born as a surprise on May 20th, 2012. A few short years later in 2016, Cricket came to Black Dog Farm for training, but she ended up becoming a permanent member of the family.

Cricket now has the reputation at the farm for being the lesson pony with the biggest attitude! Even with her attitude, Cricket is a kid's favorite for jumping and cantering. Her easy jump and smooth canter are easy to fall in love with. 

Garnet is Black Dog Farm's senior lesson horse at nearly 19 years young. She is one of the favorites among the riding students. Before Garnet came to our farm, she did competitive barrel racing, dressage, jumping, reining, and many other events. Now she does beginner riding lessons during the week and barrel races on the weekends. She enjoys peppermints and apples after a lesson!

Paris is a fully registered Tennessee Walking Horse, born on May 15th, 2003. Paris has a very impressive pedigree, with many World Grand Champions and sons/daughters of World Grand Champions. She is currently in training to become a low-level jumping horse.

Much like Cricket, Remington was born as a surprise July 6th, 2011. Remi came to Black Dog Farm as practically an untouched, wild pony in the spring of 2019. She has come a really long way, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Remi loves to be brushed and loved on by all of the students at the barn.

Olive is Black Dog Farm's newest addition and is still learning about handling and riding. She is a coming four year old, born on April 1st in 2016. Her long-term goal with Black Dog Farm is to become a well-mannered lesson pony, but for now she enjoys being brushed and worked on the ground.
