Our Horses
JJ is a 15.2 hand, chestnut Thoroughbred gelding. JJ came to us from another local show barn, Edmonton Farms. He is sweet and loves group lessons with our intermediate and advanced students. JJ is wonderful at teaching our students how to jump courses effectively. JJ is forward and loves doing his job, he has a great work ethic!
JJ's favorite activity is falling asleep in the cross ties.
JJ
Westin is a 16.2 hand, bay, Selle Francais gelding. After an illustrious show career in the 1.30 meter jumpers and the equitation ring, Westin became a school horse here at FFF. Westin is one our most steady and kind horses. He especially loves teaching and cuddling with his children! Westin teaches students ranging from first time riders to riders learning to jump cross rails.
Westin's favorite activity is snuggling!
Westin
Pickles is a 16 year old, 16 hand dark bay Argentinian Warmblood gelding. Pickles loves teaching our more advanced students both on the flat and over jumps. He is calm and and would prefer to amble along gently with his rider. He is light and very easy to jump!
Pickles's favorite thing to do is trail ride!
Pickles
Captain Jack Sparrow or "Jack" for short is a bay large pony, from Team McAllister, a show barn in the Los Angeles area. Jack is both wonderfully behaved for our young riders to learn on and large enough to carry adult riders.
Jack's favorite thing to do is play follow the leader!
Jack
"Pageantry" or PJ for short is the newest addition to the First Field Farm riding school family. PJ is 16.0 hand gelding, plenty tall enough to take care of our adult riders, but gentle enough for the smallest of children.
PJ is a Canadian Thoroughbred who came to us from the Polo Training Fields. He has competed previously in the hunters and equitation, but now loves the slower pace of his new life. He has smooth and steady gates and a really easy and fun jump!
PJ's favorite thing to do is get attention!
