Jaebar’s Flash
Flash is our AQHA cutting horse. He is the most athletically gifted horse we have ever had the privilege of owning. He is Margaret’s pet, and can be seen hanging out in our backyard frequently. He is so sweet, calm, and kind….until he sees a cow! Margaret and Maya both show him in NCHA and ARHA shows.
Athena Catari
Maya’s red mare and full of attitude. The one thing she does love is Maya. She is our AQHA cutting horse who chows ACHA and ARHA. She is super vertsitle - she does cattle work, ranch riding, trail, and pattern classes. She is gentle enough for us to use as a lesson horse for beginners and lunge lessons. She is also bred to Metallic Red Dragon, and due to foal April 2023.
Snowman
Our Appendix Quarter Horse gelding is the choice for our beginner riders. He is perfect for teaching riders to canter, and has a very quiet disposition. He also has some serious jumping skills!
Annie
Meet our only girl (lesson horse)/This snappy little mare is perfect for our beginners or more advanced riders. She is a blast to ride, loves to look fancy, and enjoys jumping. She is always seen in the field with her boyfriend, Snowman.
Buddy
Even though he looks terrified to get his picture taken, this boy is the sweetest horse we have. He has a perfect extra slow jog that allows the beginners to master posting quickly. He has smooth gaits, and always takes care of the little ones. He comes to us from out west where he worked cattle ranches.
Apache
Our registered p\American Paint Horse gelding who is great english or westetn. He is perfect for teaching the rider to use their seat and legs to direct the horse. He is beautiful, and very gentle.
Mozzie
This AQHA gelding is a pro at western pleasure and has the log and lope to prove it. Maya shows him in wesern pleasure and hunt seat, he is a master at the patterns. He also teams up with student riders at our barn shows. He is a favorite of all the riders because of his palomino coloring and gentle disposition. He loves it when you speak to him sweetly, he will do anything you ask:)
Tribby
Tribby is a Registered American Miniature Horse. He is 13 years old and is such a little characer. He thinks he is a big horse when he is out in the pasture, especially when someone tries to get next to his girlfriends! He is the star of the show with pony painting painting parties and our Farm Friends Package.
Popcorn and Peanut
Meet our Fainting Goats! These adorable little girls make the cutest little noises and are always on the prowl for a handout. Their tiny stature allows them to squeeze through any gate to make sure they never miss an opportunity to share in someone else’s meal! They are always a hit at our farm visits or birthday parties! Be careful with the loud noises though… they really do faint!
The Sheep Herd
We have a huge sheep herd, and we have the friendliest ones available to greet our guests! Our Katahdin-Dorper cross sheep are very gentle and eat out our hands. They also enjoy running through the pastures with our 4 year old visitors:) We picked them for their sturdy build and self shedding hair that makes them ideal for our hotter Georgia climate.
The Chicken Flock
We have 6 Barred Rock laying hens. We selected this breed for their very gentle temperament, beautiful feather pattern and outstanding egg production. We just love our girls!
Cocoa
Our 4 year old Sardinian miniature donkey, Cocoa may be one of our smallest pets, but she keeps our pasture safe from predators that are threats to the horses, goats, sheep, rabbits, and chickens, day and night. She loves treats, pets, or just to stand quietly next to you! As you can see in the picture, Cocoa has a little one on the way…we are hoping for a spotted mini mule...keep watching our web site and Facebook page for updates!
Metchka, Oggie, and Basher
Our Karakachan guardian livestock dogs. This endangered breed originated in Bulgaria. With the rising popularity as a livestock guardian, unrelated bloodlines have become difficult to find. Our diligent black and white make, Basher, was imported from Bulgaria in April 2021. Metchka, our sweet brindle female, came to us from Washington state, Oggie, our massive red and white female, was flown to us all the way from Alaska! This dynamic trio protects all the farm residents by keeping all four legged creatures that do not belong on the farm OUT. They have an incredible work ethic, are highly intelligent problem solvers, very strong willed, love their livestock and our family, and frequently push Margaret to the edge of insanity with their puppy antics. Litters of working Karakachans will be a goal within the next few years.
Juno
Our newest addition! Juno came straight to us from the 13WMAZ parking lot on a rainy night. She can be seen making dives in front of the horses during lesson time, or walking on the top of the barn rafters. She is amusing to say the least!
Uno
Juno’s son, and Maya’s house cat, who also loves to hang out at the barn when we are there. He is a very floppy cat, and loves to be held (carefully). He is not bad at the mouse catching, when he is not napping in Maya’s bed or sunning on a lounge-chair poolside.
Cheeto
Cheeto is also Juno’s son. He is THE hunter. He is more independent than Uno, but very friendly. He is often seen playing with the Karakachans in the field..
Our Lost Boys. You are irreplaceable We miss you everyday.
Royal Blue Mouse and Shorty’s King George
Rest In Peace my sweet sweet boys Blue and Shorty were Margaret and Maya’s personal AQHA show horses. The pasture is vacant without you two, We mourn everyday the lost hours together and the thrilling rides we will share no more.
Blue was a a 3 year old cutting horse who was talented, playful, loving, and mischievous. No horse ever had a bigger heart. He was Maya’s best friend. Sadly, she never got a chance to show him.
Shorty was THE BEST all around horse for anything you put in front of him. . He was so athletic, agile, intelligent, and gave everything he had each ride. Riding him was like flying. .
Frosted Impulse
Rest In Peace, my sweet friend. “Muggs” was our sweetheart from Arkansas.. He loved to be petted and told how wonderful he is. He was a completely finished western pleasure and competition trail horse whose “ push buttons” were not easily pressed. He was very gentle and slow, but made the rider work for his proper gaits, collection, and placement in the ring. Maya showed him AQHA hunt seat equitation and ARHA trail. She had to work to get his best performances,…. but it’s was worth it!
Major
Rest In Peace my sweet friend. Loved by so many, you instilled a love of horses with everyone you met. We had had this wonderful 12 year-old AQHA gelding for 5years. He wascthe ideal first horse because he was patient, willing, and forgiving. His gaits were smooth and he transitioned easily - He was perfect for learning diagonals on! His positive attitude and love of a new job made him a favorite for riders beginner to advanced. He loved to play, and and got along with everyone in the pasture. His sweet personality made him a favorite of young and older riders alike!
Ace
Rest In Peace my sweet friend. A true gentle giant. Ace was a magnificent quarter horse who loved everyone! He was so fun to ride, and gave the riders a sense of accomplishment when they could get the most out of a lesson with him. No horse had a smoother canter. He gave you the feeling of freedom, each time you rode him.
