Hawk is a grade, 2021 dark brown gelding at 14.2hh and still growing. He loves people and is eager to please. Hawk leads, ties, lunges, stands for the farrier, and is green broke under saddle. He is currently working on accepting a snaffle and learning his leads.

Raven is a grade, 2016 black mare standing at 14.3hh. She may have previous experience under saddle, but requires a full restart before she can be a reliable partner. She is halter broke, stands for the farrier, lunges, and trailers easily. She has a sensitive spirit and eager to please personality. Raven is a very easy keeper who required a strict feeding regimen to stay in good health. With her sensitive spirit and eager to please personality, Raven’s ideal adopter is a trainer with experience successfully starting multiple types of green horses or an experienced handler willing to work with a trainer.
Laura Lee is a 2012 Haflinger mare, standing at 14hh. She is broke to ride, but needs help getting back into shape. Due to fly reactivity, she must wear fly gear and receive daily allergy meds throughout fly season. Laura Lee’s ideal adopter is an advanced handler comfortable with correcting misbehavior and confident in guiding her through new experiences.
Finch is a grade, 2022 red roan gelding standing at 14hh and growing. He has a puppy dog personality and enjoys playing with his herd mates. Finch can lead, tie, lunge, and stand for the farrier.

Finch’s ideal adopter is a trainer with experience successfully starting multiple types of green horses or an advanced handler willing to work with a trainer.
Aster is a grade, 2024 sorrel filly standing at 14.3hh, who came to us as an untouched yearling. She faces new challenges bravely and is a fast learner.

Annie is a grade, 2014 sorrel mare standing at 15hh. She is amazingly smart and sensitive, but struggles with anxiety. Annie can lead, tie, lunge, and is learning to stand for the farrier. She has been started under saddle and is gaining confidence in the arena.

Sterling is a young thoroughbred gelding and is as sweet as can be. He has a deformed hind leg, likely since birth, and therefore is unable to ever be ridden or perform physically taxing tasks. What he lacks in physical abilities he more than makes up for with his personality. He adores attention and is a cuddle-bug! He loves other horses and wants to be friends and play with everyone, but he definitely is still a baby and sometimes annoys his herd mates with his endless energy. He does best in a herd with other geldings, but can be turned out with mares if they set boundaries with him.

Izzy is a Pinto mare with beautiful blue eyes. Due to lameness issues, Izzy isn’t able to take the weight of a rider. She has, however, proven her abilities in the ground training arena. She learns ground liberty and other ground skills very quickly. Izzy usually gets along with other horses, but can be dominant. She loves her food, so attention to diet and physical fitness are a must. Izzy is in need of further guidance from a more experienced handler.
Foal year 2001, 14.2 hh
Tinkerbell is a blue-eyed paint mare with a very sweet disposition. She came to The HPL with an older untreated scar on her face that needs sun protection. Tinkerbell requires an experienced farrier due to knee issues which makes hoof maintenance difficult. Tinkerbell loves attention of all types and does well in her training sessions. She would prosper with the opportunity to be a companion.

Mystic is a gray mare who steals the hearts of everyone she meets. She is well mannered and a sweetheart. She is very responsive during training and loves attention. She and Duke adore each other and we hope that they will be adopted together (and Duke’s adoption fee will be waived if adopted with Mystic), but that is negotiable. Mystic is not rideable and is available as a companion only.
Foal year 2004, 16 hh
Duke is a thoroughbred gelding and is as sweet as can be. He is always very patient with our less experienced volunteers and is easy to handle despite his size. Due to health issues, Duke is not ridable and is on medication. He and Mystic adore each other and we hope that they will be adopted together (and Duke’s adoption fee will be waived if adopted with Mystic), but that is negotiable.

Pepper is a grey dapple, 2016 registered Thoroughbred mare standing at 16hh. She had a successful career as a Hunter Jumper, but has been restricted to flat work and a lighter riding style due to arthritis. She is a smart mare who enjoys working and is currently learning to find relaxation under saddle. Pepper’s ideal adopter is an advanced handler comfortable with correcting misbehavior and confident in guiding her through new experiences.
