Jasper is an adorable chestnut gelding that was born around 1999. Jasper arrived at Whitemud in 2018 where he and Major were slowly adjusted to a new life. They were both previously riding and packing horses in the mountains. Jasper has been used in the Little Bits program on and off since arriving and is mostly ridden by more independent riders that appreciate his steady gait.

Jaycie is a beautiful dun Quarter Horse mare that lives in the front mare field with her best friend Aries. These two are thick as thieves and you can often find them hanging out and grooming one another. Jaycie arrived at Whitemud in July 2018 where she began her slow introduction to her new role as a lesson horse. Born April 25, 2001, Jaycie has soared in her new role and will often take great care of her riders, regardless of their age. Whether they are beginners just learning the basics to striding over fences with more advanced riders, nothing bothers her. In the fall of 2018, Jaycie began her introduction to the Little Bits program. She was a hit. Because she is such an easy-going horse and very responsive, the riders that are more independent can perform off lead and do the exercises asked by the instructor. Jaycie can also be ridden both English and Western and looks stylish at the same time. She does have a following and her riders absolutely adore her. Grazing with her friends is one thing Jaycie loves best. She would love treats but we must keep her waistline in check, so we ask that you do not give her any snacks. We are very grateful that Jaycie is part of our program and part of the horse family that riders and volunteers can get to know.

Kassidy is a registered Arabian gelding that has an alluring appeal that draws you to him. This classy chestnut has four white socks that likes to keep clean and a white blaze that helps captivate you. Like most Arabians, Kassidy is very curious and will come over and greet you at the fence or in the field. Kassidy was born in May 2001 and lived with his horse mom from the age of 4 to15 years and then was donated and arrived at Whitemud in the fall of 2016. He was then introduced into the WELCA lessons where he thrived in all the lessons formats. Kassidy has a foster mom that looks after his extra needs and cares. It was not until the winter session in 2020 that Little Bits started to use Kassidy in the lessons where he found a new following with his popularity. Kassidy does like his riders to keep engaged and is willing to perform the movements but only when asked correctly and will always try his best. His small stature and wider frame make him easy to ride. Kassidy does love horse treats but because he is such an easy keeper, is not allowed any snacks.

Lilo is a dun Quarter Horse mare with unique stripes on her mid legs. She was born around 2008 and has done it all. English, western, working livestock and mountain traversing. Arriving at Whitemud in March 2022, Lilo was put right into the summer camp lessons. Lilo was introduced into the Little Bits program in the winter of 2023 and is showing that she loves working with her new riders. She challenges them in lessons, and we look forward to Lilo being a part of our program for years to come.
