Pearl is a sweet flea-bitten grey mare that stands about 14 hh. Born in 1995, Pearl knows her stuff and loes for her riders to be gentle and understanding. Pearl does have a horse-mom that treats her with lots of love and grooming and shows Pearls that getting older does not mean you can't be good looking as well.

Do you know Jacks Royal Mystery? Well, you should… this is Popeye… and he is fantastic? This chestnut gelding arrived at Whitemud in 2004 and became a fast favorite with independent riders in the WELCA program and in our Little Bits program. Popeye was born in 1996 but you would never know it by looking at him. When you touch Popeyes hair, it feels like a soft baby blanket. Being a chestnut, it is always best to only use the softest brushes, or you will end up with a grumpy horse. When being ridden, Popeye’s rides know what a remarkable western jog he has and anyone leading Popeye knows to always give him plenty of room. Those of us who work with him, love him and all his playful ways.

Raven is a black Morgan Thoroughbred mare that was born in 1998. Raven arrived at Whitemud in April 2022 and was started in our program in the fall of 2022. She is a great horse with the right rider but will steam-train you if you don't pay attention. Slow and steady we try to strive with her.

Scout is an adorable Arabian flea-bitten grey gelding that was born in 2005. Scout’s life with his previous owners as a family horse made him very patient and kind. Arriving in the summer of 2023, Scout was ready to jump into the WELCA and Little Bits program where he fits right in.
