We fondly refer to Hydro as our gentle giant. This English shire/quarter horse mix came to us from a ranch in Utah as a teenager, and everyone simply adores him.

With the height of an English shire and speed of a quarter horse, Hydro is a mixed breed who possesses the ultimate in power and grace. He’s the king of our ranch, and it’s good to be king. Just ask him.

Annie, our lead mare, is a quarter horse who would be an excellent sprinter if she weren’t so busy flirting

Best buds Jasper (left) and Jeter (right) are patiently awaiting their turn to dine.

Red, our flower child, is a sorrel pony who’s a copper-red shade of chestnut. You can often find him in his own little world—off alone observing the action from afar.

Jasper (left) is a curious buckskin who’s constantly getting into things, while Jeter (right) is a sweet bay roan who loves getting pampered.
