Maintree Farm has many great staff members, but here are some of the hardest working ones! |

Petey My name is Peter Pan, but call me Petey! I'm a bay welsh cross pony with a really cute snip on my nose. I am 13 hands high (hh). I'm great for beginner shows in that I will do anything that you ask of me and I have been doing it for many years. Though I don't get them often, I love poppy seed bagels, especially before a show. |
|
Jenny My name is Jenny, and I'm a 14.1 hh chestnut, welsh pony, mare. I don't mean to brag, but I am one of the favorites of the kids at Maintree. I love to take good care of my beginning riders and teach them not to be afraid of riding. I'm patient and tolerant, and I can do a lot of things like show, fox hunt and lessons. Maintree needs me! (I may just have to ask for a raise!) |

|
Termite My name is Termite, and I am a 14.1 hh red roan, welsh pony, gelding. A lot of kids have won blue ribbons on me, but now I mainly just give lessons. I love trail rides, quiet hands and carrots. They say my canter is like sitting in a rocking chair... that's a good thing, right? I will jump itty bitty cross poles or big vertical fences. I have a very important job to do at Maintree, and I do it! |

|
Carpet My name is Carpet Dance, but my friends call me Carpet. I'm a 16.2 hh bay, thoroughbred gelding. I am a laid back, tolerant, all-around nice guy! I have lots of Maintree buddies but am always looking to make more! Come and meet me! I'm always ready to give a riding lesson. P.S. Bring carrots! |

Lightly Hi there! I'm Lightly, and I'm an 11 hh chestnut, welsh pony, mare. I just LOVE everyone!! I should be a cheerleader, because I'm always happy and smiling. I adore lessons, shows, fox hunting, anything where I can be around children and get pats and kisses. I will do anything to please you. Some say I'm a little quick at the canter, but it's just because I'm so happy!! |

Sandy I am a palomino quarter horse who came to Maintree with my friend Bucky a few years ago. I am 14.3 hh, and I am still learning, but I am a good horse for intermediate riders who are patient with me. |
|
|
Hayley I'm Hayley, and I'm a 15.3 hh bay, thoroughbred mare. My very favorite thing to do is jump! I just LOVE it, and I am looking for people who share my enthusiasm for jumping. Let's jump some oxers together! |
|
|
Taggert I'm Taggert. I'm a 16.2 hh bay, thoroughbred gelding. Yep, I'm a big guy, and I enjoy arena work, lessons and jumping. I much prefer the city life to the outdoorsy life, as I'd rather be ridden in the ring than on the trails. I have been told that I jump very well, and I was voted the National Capitol Adult Equitation League (NCAEL) Horse of the Year in 2008-2009. |

Ruby I am a bay thoroughbred mare. I am 16 hh. Many say I am very sweet and I am eager to please. |
|
|
Cozy I'm Cozy, and I'm a 16 hh gray, thoroughbred gelding. I'm fairly new in town, and I am looking to meet friendly, outgoing people for riding lessons, grooming sessions, good conversation and lasting friendships. Oh, and treats! Definitely treats! |

Sadie My name is Sadie, and I'm a 12 hh palomino, welsh pony, mare. Don't hate me, because I'm beautiful. I am an uptown girl with impeccable fashion sense. If I was a person, I would look fabulous in a tiara. I allow lucky riders to accompany me to shows and out fox hunting. If you get to join me for a lesson, you should feel privileged. And for the record, I picked Maintree to be graced with my beauty. |

Samson Hello friend! My name is Samson, and I'm a 16 hh chestnut thoroughbred/draft cross gelding. Don't let my size intimidate you, because I love people, and my heart is as big as my feet! I'm really good with beginners and try very hard to be pleasant. I like long grooming sessions, treats of any kind and quiet walks in the woods. |
|
|
Runway I'm Runway, and I'm a 15.3 hh gray, thoroughbred gelding. I used to be quite an athlete in my racehorse days. Now I enjoy teaching beginners to ride and being a part of Maintree's lesson program. I speak two languages fluently: horse and riding commands. Just say “canter”, and I'm on it! |

Spice Hi, I'm Spice. I'm a 14 hh roan, welsh pony, gelding. I have taught so many children to ride at Maintree, I can no longer keep track! I'm kind of lazy, but if you insist I go faster, I will...eventually. I'm very careful with my beginners. Please come and brush me and feed me! Those are my two most favorite things EVER! |
|
|
Joy I'm Joy, and I am a 15.2 hh gray, thoroughbred mare. My registered name is "Something to Talk About", and if I may say so myself, indeed I am! I know my job in and out of the show ring, the hunt field and the lesson program. Call me and come see me, and I'll show you what I can do! |

KC I'm KC, and I'm a 16.2 hh chestnut, thoroughbred gelding. If you like hearing stories, I would like to share my tales with you from my glory days of winning hunter trials, fox hunting and how I've always taken care of my riders. Some say I'm lazy, but really, I'm just not that into going fast. I have no need for speed, which makes me a really great partner for lesson riders. |

Rhett Butler I'm Rhett, a 17 hh thoroughbred stallion. Years ago I won the Kentucky Derby, but was forced out of Triple Crown competition because of jealousy. I basically look after all the other horses and give them lots of tips about riding. My favorite movies are Racing Stripes and Dreamer. I don't like Shrek cause everyone who sees that movie, calls me "Donkey". |
