Lou spent the past 18 months of his life in the happy atmosphere of TSP where he was one of the most popular horses due to his loveable disposition and giant stature, and was ultimately adopted by a member of the Board.

He quickly endeared himself to many staff and riders. Unflappable, reliable, amiable and eager to please, Maverick immediately became a favorite mount for the teens at the stable.

A rescued retired quarter horse with a lifelong career on a working ranch, was happily fostered out from TSP for the last year of his life where he enjoyed being part of a loving family. Sadly, Pepsi died in his sleep early in 2014.

Frigga, a stunning 14 year old Oldenburg warmblood who has spent her life being a fancy broodmare, but who came up for adoption when she no longer could fill that role. Although accustomed to being handled by humans, she had never experienced a rider on her back.

In memory 10.23.13. A sweet natured Quarter Horse in his mid 20's, retired from a hardworking career as a ranch horse, Dash has found a happy home here at TSP for the past year, enjoying his less strenuous second career as a schooling horse for beginning and disabled riders. He is frequently seen untethered in front of the barn, greeting visitors and helping himself to hay directly off the truck.
