Chestnut geldings can be common but Easy who is a Quarter Horse cross, is no ordinary chestnut gelding. Easy was born in 2007 and arrived at Whitemud in August of 2016 where he started his new career as a beginner and advanced mount in the WELCA classes. Easy had participated in the 4H clubs and was ridden on trail rides with his previous owners, which made his transition to a lesson horse easier. In 2017, Easy started classes in the Little Bits program with independent riders that could take advantage of his sensitive nature. Easy was also ridden by riders that needed more help and he was able to help them complete tasks with ease. Being very curious, Easy loves to watch what is going on around him and you can often find him people watching. Easy does have a small following that adore him.

Located in a field called Hillview is the most adorable bay Morgan horse named Echo. With his long thick black mane and tail and big brown eyes that are hidden beneath a tick forelock, you can see a twinkle in his eyes. This handsome fellow is independently by two great Whitemud patrons. Echo was born in 1999 and started in the Little Bits program back when he was 4 years old. Echo has been used on and off in our program since because of his agreeable nature. Echo's rides are very loyal and love riding him, especially when he’s all dolled up in his pink accessories.

He arrived at Whitemud in 2021 where he was used in the WELCA program. This year, Gus has shown a lot of growth with patience and is now being ridden by more independent riders in our program.

Gemini is a dark bay Quarter Horse mare that will stand out in any field. She was born in 2002 and is a Doc Bar line which in Quarter Horse terms is pretty darn good. When Gemini arrived in 2012, she was very shy and unsure of her role at Whitemud. She became best friends with one of her pen mates Ali Cat and for a few years, they could be found hanging out together but now she has a penmates and is the boss to the other mares that live with her. Gemini is used in the learn to ride program with WELCA where she stays on lead. With Little Bits, Gemini is a STAR. Patient, kind, understanding and even tempered, this mare is ridden by riders that need to be mounted in less traditional ways. She will walk up to the ramp and allow her rider to be assisted onto her back with confidence. Gemini is very forward and likes to stride out. When allowed, Gemini will break into a smooth jog which often delights her riders and if you walk a little faster, Gemini will trot out with you on the lead. We are very fortunate to have her in our program and all love her pluck and grace.
