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.

Santa came to WPS and dropped off quite the present this Christmas! Meet 'Sassy,' a 12yo 14.1h Quarter Horse mare. She is as sweet as could be and can't wait to meet everyone in the new year. We are so excited to have Sassy joining the family and a big thank you to Amanda Zalbe for connecting us with her.
