It is beyond heartbreaking and hurts beyond words to share that we had to say goodbye to Sailor this morning. Sailor was the embodiment of the 'gentle giant' attribute. As sweet as could be and couldn't hurt a fly attitude, he held such a special place in our program and in our family. Sailor was the first ride for many beginners, kept his riders safe on their first trail ride, and was so gentle with all of his special needs riders who would ride and handle him. Sailor was intelligent beyond words, somehow he knew exactly which riders to be slow and careful with and which riders needed a little pushing to ride to their full potential. His playful, goofy personality made him an easy favorite of so many riders. Sailor loved playing in the creek during summer camp, galloping through the snow in the winter, treats at any time of day and especially loved all of the students and friends that made his life so special. He was so well loved and I think he knew it. I know Rosie was there waiting for him right at the end of the rainbow bridge and was more than excited to welcome him home. Until we meet again, rest easy sweet Sailor.

Introducing Chai! Chai is a 10 year old Quarter Horse gelding. He is as sweet as can be and loves people. You may have noticed his unique coloring, that is called cremello and he is the only of his coloring here. We are so excited to have him join the WPS family and can't wait for everyone to meet him. A huge thank you to Amanda Zalbe for trusting us with another one of her lovely horses, our students and friends will be sure to spoil him.

We are very sad to announce the passing of Skip. Skip was one of those special, once in a lifetime horses that you just can't recreate. A very unique horse, Skip spent much of his time with us taking the best care of our special needs riders as they rode horses for the first time, taking 3 year olds around their first pony rides and happily giving lessons to his pony pal friends. The trail was his forte, he was often found taking out many brand new riders on their first ever trail ride without a step wrong and was one of those solid, "don't need to worry about this one" trail horses no matter what the circumstances. There aren't many horses out there that you could trust your toddler and your grandparents with but Skip was one of those special exceptions. Though he wasn't fond of most horses, G and Toby were his two very best friends in the whole world and when in the field together, those three were inseparable. You could often find them using each other as scratching posts, sharing tails for swatting flies, and just enjoying the company of their best friends. Gone far too soon, Skip left us peacefully and surrounded by his best friends and family knowing that he was well, well loved. The barn won't be the same without our beloved Skip but we are comforted knowing how well loved he was by so many. We spotted a rainbow tonight and it's a sign that Skip is telling us that he is doing just fine.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Huck. Perhaps one of the most gentle and kind horses you would ever meet, Huck was a very special guy and has been a part of our family for years. You could always count on him to take care of the most timid or nervous riders, carefully making his way around the arena at his preferred pace: slow. Huck was the type of horse who was never in a rush to get anywhere and nothing could persuade him otherwise, speed was just not his thing (which was just fine by us!) Despite his lazy nature, Huck loved his lessons, trail rides, and summer camp. He taught many riders the art of patience and was happily the first ride, trot, canter, ba****ck, and trail for many students. He was lovingly known as the "cow horse" by the little ones and visitors. Huck is truly one of a kind, the type you can't replace, and he will be greatly missed by his family and friends at WPS. Rest easy, old friend.

Thank you so much to Jessie for putting together this "highlight reel" of Pumpkin enjoying his retirement over the past few years. We will miss him immensely and are so thankful to everyone in our WPS family for loving him and helping him have the best retirement a pony could ask for.

Our second session of camp cooling off in the creek this morning. Harley and Trib were having a contest to see who could make the biggest splash!

Our big boys are enjoying the lovely spring weather!

Boys will be boys! Jackson and Carlos enjoying the cool weather and getting some play time in this morning.

Our resident hunter Ollie keeping the barn safe from all of the creepy crawling creatures! Maisie kept a careful eye on her brother from afar.

Pumpkin wants to wish everyone a happy and safe 4th of July!

First day back on grass turn out and the horses were very excited! We rest the fields for about 6 weeks each spring to let the grass grow and today they finally got to get out there.
