SCOOTER Super Gentle Black Kids' Pony Gelding VIDEO

2019 Pony Gelding

5 years old and 11.2 hands

The most up to date info and pricing can be found on our website lazyoakshorses.com

Scooter is just waiting to be your child’s trail buddy! We hardly ever find ponies of this size that are this calm and gentle and we would keep him in a second if we were looking for another little pony. He is fantastic with beginners and will take care of his rider. Young kids have ridden him all over on trail - even riding out on a cattle ranch to help out the big horses. He hops in the trailer and gets along well with the other horses. We have had him in a stall and out on pasture with a handful of other horses without issue.

Our kids have ridden him ba****ck into the pond, ridden him around in the water, then jumped off of him and climbed back on again while he stood waiting. Georgia has ridden Scooter all over the property, and he’s carefully taken her over the stairs, on the teeter totter, and up and down the stone steps without missing a step or batting an eye. He’s just not fazed by much and will take care of your kids like he has ours.

Scooter has been exposed to dogs, cars, trucks, tractors, quads, UTVs, leaf blowers, birds taking off, loud noises, tarps, balls, flags, and ropes all over his body and feet. He easily crosses water, steps over downed logs, and goes over obstacles.

This pony is a really fun little guy and you won’t want to miss out! The kids walk him around like a dog and Georgie will brush and groom him for hours. He would make a great lead line pony. If you have followed us for a while this guy is just like Huckleberry and Maple Syrup and you’ve seen all the crazy things our kids have done on them!

Scooter has been pre-vet checked and is up to date on vaccines, teeth, worming, and farrier. No maintenance.

THUNDER Perfect Kids' Dapple Grey Pony VIDEO

2019 Dapple Grey Pony Gelding

5 years old and about 13.2 hands

The most up to date information and pricing can be found on our website lazyoakshorses.com

Thunder is the perfect all around pony for your kids. Our eight year old son has worked extensively with Thunder both on the ground and in the saddle. He follows Oliver around like a puppy and Oliver easily walks, trots, and lopes him while carrying a flag, bouncing a ball, or dragging a tarp. He’s ridden Thunder all over our property, crossing water, going over the stairs, and going up and down the tilt trailer - one of our scariest obstacles - and has felt safe and confident every step of the way.

Thunder takes care of beginners but a more experienced kid will easily be able to trot and lope him. He’s great at poles and barrels, easily picking up the patterns, and would be fantastic in gymkhana or at play days. Thunder hops in the trailer and gets along well with the other horses. We have had him in a stall and out on pasture with a handful of other horses without issue. He straight ties and cross ties and has no problem being tied next to other horses. He’s such a solid citizen we’ve even used him to pony unruly young horses and he took it all in stride.

Thunder is super smart and friendly, easily stealing your heart with his overly friendly, dog-like personality. He’s the perfect size for kids to grow into or to step up to from a littler pony. He picks up both leads easily, has comfortable gaits that are easy for children to sit, and will help them develop confidence and skill. He carries things around in his mouth like a dog and is guaranteed to make you laugh with his ridiculous antics. He has been exposed to dogs, cars, trucks, tractors, quads, UTVs, leaf blowers, birds taking off, loud noises, tarps, balls, flags, and ropes all over his body and feet.

Thunder has been pre-vet checked and is up to date on vaccines, teeth, worming, and farrier. No maintenance.

BOOTS - Fancy Broke Gentle 2013 AQHA Sorrel Rabicano VIDEO

2013 AQHA Sorrel Rabicano (Roan) Gelding

11 years old and about 15 hands

The most up to date info and pricing can be found on our website lazyoakshorses.com

Boots is as well trained as he is stunning!! He is really well broke with an amazing stop and an easy one hand neck rein. He picks up both leads, rates his speed well, and collects. This guy is easily one of the most broke horses we've had this year, with an amazing mind - and he is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. He has extensive experience roping, barrel racing, pole bending, working cows and is great on trail.

Boots does everything we ask of him with an extremely willing attitude. He's the kind who will greet you in his stall and lay his head on your shoulder and then happily stand for you to brush him and love on him. He is a true unicorn type that we absolutely love working with.

Boots is fancy bred and super flashy with 4 white socks and a stunning bald face and a mane and tail for days. We feel that Boots would make a phenomenal gymkhana horse, barrel horse or rope horse. He'd also be great as the fanciest trail horse ever. He's gentle enough that our 8 year old son can ride him but responsive enough that we love riding him too!

Boots has been pre-vet checked and is up to date on vaccines, teeth, worming, and farrier. Preventative hock maintenance was done by previous owner however it is not needed.

2018 Palomino Draft Cross Gelding

6 years old and 14.3 hands

The most up to date info and pricing can be found on our website lazyoakshorses.com

Reno is an absolutely incredible trail horse and is about as thick and pretty as they come. He is a draft crossed with a quarter horse and has that calm slow draft mind with the willingness we love from our quarter horses. He is brave on trail and walks over any obstacle you out in front of him and is willing to go anywhere or do anything out on trail. We have also spent a ton of time in the arena and Reno has incredibly comfortable smooth gaits and can walk, trot and his lope is our favorite! He can easily pick up his leads and rates his speed beautifully though trail riding is where he really shines. Reno can sidepass, open gates, carry a tarp, carry a flag, carry a ball and is comfortable around the cows, bison, dogs, cars, trucks, tractors, quads, dirtbikes, UTV’s, w**d whackers, blowers, ducks and anything else we have thrown his way. He is truly a wonderful kind and gentle horse looking for someone to call his own and have a purpose in life.

Unfortunately Reno had a very tough start in life and was mistreated before we got him so he was a bit of a mess in the beginning and had a hard time trusting people. At Lazy Oaks we put the horses first and Reno needed us and we don’t give up easy so we decided to start him over from scratch and we have put over 15 months of professional training into him and covered all the bases from the ground up. What amazes us most is that even though we had to put him through a lot to get to where we are today, Reno has never offered to rear, buck or bolt which is a true testament to his calm and safe nature. It can still take him a minute to warm up to new people but when he accepts you as his person he bonds incredibly strongly and is a big gentle cuddle bug. Reno needs someone who is patient and kind and who has the time to love on him and pick up where we left off to form a strong bond and give him someone to rely on.

Reno has been pre-vet checked and is up to date on vaccines, teeth, worming, and farrier. No maintenance.

TACOMA - Gentle Black Quarterhorse Gelding - VIDEO

2019 Black Quarterhorse Gelding

5 years old and around 15 hands

The most up to date info and pricing can be found on our website lazyoakshorses.com

Tacoma is a super gentle young horse with the friendliest, most curious personality - he is a complete pet. He has lots of trail miles all around the ranch and out in the forests of Idaho so he's not fazed by much. He loves people and just wants to be everyone's friend.

Tacoma is the kind of horse that everyone can ride. He can take you out on trail one day and carry your kids around the next. Under saddle he takes everything at the ranch in stride. He's been adjusting to our ground work program and learning that he can't actually be in your pocket all the time - and that even if he tests, he won't get away with it. He loves a leisurely trail ride and has also proven himself to be a nice arena horse too. We feel like he could go in pretty much any direction you’d like.

For a young horse we feel Tacoma is about as husband safe and kid safe as you can get. He does great with deep water crossings, tarps, balls, dogs, cars, tractors, coyotes, dirt bikes, motorcycles, quads or anything else we have walked him over or thrown at him. In the arena he collects, side passes, has a great stop and easily picks up his leads.Our 6 year old can trailer load him, wash him, touch him anywhere, and walk him all around the ranch. He is the same dependable guy day in and day out whether in cold, rain, wind and even with time off after a quick groundwork session. He has been ridden by beginners and has patiently babysat every rider on different trails, on the road and in the arena.

Tacoma is perfect if you're looking for a horse that will babysit your non horsey friends, take you out on trail or around the ranch, and then let your kids ride him around the arena. He's just a great all around guy.

Tacoma has been pre-vet checked and is up to date on vaccines, teeth, worming, and farrier. No maintenance.

JASPER - Super Gentle Quarterhorse/Draft Cross Gelding VIDEO

2012 Sorrel Quarter Horse/Draft Cross Gelding

12 years old and 14.3 hands

The most up to date info and pricing can be found on our website lazyoakshorses.com

Jasper is an extremely sweet, gentle, laid back guy. We feel like he'll make someone a fantastic trail horse but he has years of experience doing all the ranch chores so he could also be a great ranch horse. Our 6 year old loves to lead him around the ranch including up into the trailer and loves to brush him everywhere!

Jasper is as thick and pretty as they come and is ready to cover some ground out on trail. He has tons of miles out on the ranch and has a great mind. We don’t work with too many draft crosses so the fact that we brought him into the program tells you how great he is.

Whether you're looking for an easy, dependable trail horse or ranch horse for yourself or your family, Jasper is a fantastic babysitter. He'll take care of you, your kids, and your non horsey friends. He's experienced, reasonable, and doesn't shy away from deep water crossings, tarps, balls, dogs, or anything else you can throw at him. We had a really hard time getting him to spook away from anything. He has comfortable gaits, a dependable stop, and can easily pick up his leads.

Jasper also loves being brushed and groomed by both kids and adults, whether in a stall or in cross ties, and he loves being hand walked around. He's just happy to be around people.

If you're looking for a horse to greet you in the stall or at the gate, take care of you on trail or around the ranch, and just be an all around easy, lovable horse, Jasper's your guy!

LEGEND Super Gentle 5yr old AQHA Palomino Gelding VIDEO

2019 AQHA Registered Palomino Gelding

5 years old and 15 hands

The most up to date info and pricing can be found on our website lazyoakshorses.com

Legend is an absolutely incredible horse for his age and he has excelled in every aspect of the program. He has a stunningly beautiful dark golden coat after he shedded out and a flaxen mane and tail that we all love so much. He is as calm, gentle, and wonderfully sweet as you’ll ever find and he is absolutely dog gentle. He has all of the buttons that we expect from horses more than twice his age. He is practically unflappable and does as well in the arena as he does on trail. He is as husband and kid safe as we ever see and he would do well for anyone including our greenest riders.

Legend is thick, calm and extremely easy going about whatever we throw his way and he has been exposed to w**d whackers, chain saws, barking/snarling dogs, buffalo, cows, cars, trucks, donkeys, dirt bikes, quads, UTV’s, tractors, farm equipment, welding, jackhammering and everything you can imagine on trail. He has a nice slow trot, comfortable lope and an easy walk. He would be a phenomenal trail horse, great all around arena horse or do just about anything you can think of if you want a laid back mellow horse to do it.

Legend picks up both leads and rates his speed really nicely and is also happy to take you out on trail, either by himself or in a group. Legend would make a fantastic all around horse who we feel could be ridden and enjoyed by pretty much anyone. If you feel like Legend could be the unicorn you've been looking for please reach out to us - we think he's going to go really fast.

LAZY OAKS AIRPORT FIRE UPDATE:

All remains evacuation warnings have been lifted and they have reached 62% containment. Sadly there was quite a bit of property damage along Ortega highway during the fastest growth phase of the fire but the firefighters have done a phenomenal job and kept it away from thousands of other homes, ours included.

09/12/2024

LAZY OAKS RANCH AIRPORT FIRE UPDATE:

The firefighters attacked the fire all day yesterday and into the night with tons of air support and they’ve knocked down most of the front heading towards the ranch. Though they haven’t released an update yet this morning we will be surprised if they don’t show containment in the next update. If you look on the image you’ll see WAY less heat signature from the satellites compared to yesterday.

The north and especially northwest corner had some significant activity jumping the line late and they called in a couple more helicopters to work that section. We and everyone else impacted by the airport fire are not completely out of the woods but we’re feeling less on edge today and hopeful that the lower temperatures and higher humidity help things move in the right direction.

Thank you again to all of the firefighters working around the clock and risking their lives to protect all of us especially those of us in the equestrian community.

09/11/2024

LAZY OAKS AIRPORT FIRE UPDATE:

First we just want to say that we are beyond grateful for all of the calls and texts we’re getting from our wonderful horse community checking to see if we need anything! Also thank you so much to all of the firefighters for all you do!! With 3 large fast moving fires in Southern California the resources are stretched super thin.

We’re under evacuation warning and across the street is under evacuation order so the guys are all hooked up with the trailers and ready to move if needed and we have countless people offering to help us if needed. The smoke was pretty bad this morning but it’s nice and clear right now so we’ll take it!

We have over 30 horses at the properties including personal horses, training horses and babies so it’s a heck of a lot to move and we’ve been monitoring the Airport fire very closely. The fire was 10 miles away yesterday afternoon and now is approximately 5.5 miles north of us. With lower forecasted temperatures and a south wind coming up over the next 2 days the fire should push north which is good news for us.

Unfortunately it’s bad news for the cities of Temescal and Corona with wind speeds as high at 25mph forecasted so this morning brings a fresh batch of evacuation warnings to the north.

We’re going to stay put for the moment but we’re ready to leave with the first load at a moments notice if the conditions change.

Thank you again to everyone for your offers of help and if we need anything we will for sure let you know!

Chris and Devon
