Today we said goodbye to one of the greatest, Woodlands Troubadour aka Trooper. He lived to a wonderful 32 years old, and what a life he had!!

Trooper came to the farm with the help of Cricket about 15 years ago. I think she was happy to pass him along at the time. He was the pony who would jump out of the round pen or his stall, sn**ch a hot dog out of a kids hand and maybe not jump a jump (sometimes simply because he felt a course should have 8 jumps and not 9).

He quickly became a barn favorite and blessed us with years of memories, laughs, tears, ribbons and success! Trooper was a character with a huge personality! He always kept you on your toes and definitely got better with age! He would eat anything and everything; he was frequently called the ‘trash can’. If you needed a ride, Trooper was your guy. And to top it all off he had the BEST canter!

Delaney was his first rider. In their time together they won 2010 PHJA Pony Medal finals, had numerous tricolors in the Pony Hunters and too many hack wins to count. In true Trooper fashion though, he had a streak where he would trot the third jump of every course (including Pony Finals). Looking back, it’s funny, because that was just Trooper sometimes.

In 2013 we made him a promise. If he got a hack ribbon at Pony Finals, he could retire from the Large Pony Division. He promptly took us up on that, finishing 9th that year with his next rider, Emily Alvarez (this was before top 20 was given out in all phases)!

He had many other riders as well. Megan, Allie, Helen, Regan, Lauren and Antoinette, just to name a few. Feel free to share your favorite stories or photos below.

Thank you Trooper for the many years of happiness you blessed us all with. You will always have a special place in our hearts. We will miss you, “Troopy Doo” ❤️
