The Lesson Horses IV

What better way to learn to ride than on a horse schooled to teach?

This Cowgirl’s Dun (Cowgirl)

CowgirlThis pro trained paint mare was bred for and raised by our very own Nicole Presley. When Lori first saw this mare as little, tiny, baby five years ago it was love at first sight.  Lori knew that if Nicole would ever part with this mare, she just had to have her. When Cowgirl came to our barn for a short stay due to a local flood she simply never left...proving to Lori that dreams do come true!  Cowgirl is available to select intermediate and advanced riders in the lesson program.

Tuffy Doc Eddie (Nash)

NashThis chestnut came to Pierce Farms and soon began to excel as an important member of the lesson program.  Affectionately known as ‘Nacho’, he is a former roper and was a favorite of the owner of the ranch. The only reason he was sold was because the trainer’s daughter, Courtney fell in love with him and had to have him.  Update 1-1-08:  Pierce Farms is currently looking for a home for Nash as a companion type horse. He has suffered an injury that no longer allows him to be ridden at much more than a walk.

Oh So Impressed (Ollie)

OllieThe one that started it all…. Ollie horse was purchased by Kelly (sight unseen) in 1991. He and Kelly showed for the next 4 years together winning many western pleasure ribbons. Finances forced Kelly to sell Ollie when she became pregnant with her daughter. Kelly was heartbroken over this decision. Shortly after her daughters birth Ollie’s new owners contacted her and asked for her help and offered her the use of the horse for her own business in exchange for lessons for themselves. After about 2 years the owners moved away taking Ollie with them. Kelly was heartbroken as she had lost contact with Ollie again. Another two years went by. One day Kelly received a call the Ollie had just walked off a trailer in Nellie Gail. Kelly was thrilled and told the new owner that if he ever wanted to sell to please call her. That is exactly what he did two years later. Kelly purchased Ollie and vowed to him that he would be with her for the rest of his life. The trainer is not supposed to have a favorite lesson horse. Oh well this trainer does. Ollie took Kelly places in the show ring and now he is teaching others to show. Kelly says "Rarely is a gift given to a person twice in their life. This is the third time Ollie has entered mine. He is truly a gift" Ollie left our lives in June 2007 as a result of a severe colic. May he rest in peace.
