BigBoy
BigBoy has been with Elite the longest out of all the school horses. An acquaintance of Brittney’s was buying BigBoy’s pasture mate and had mentioned there was another horse there that needed to be rehomed. When Brittney went to see him he hadn’t been ridden in a while and had a kids western saddle on, so she hopped on and rode him along the road. A ride was all it took for Britt to know he was such a good boy!
At first, BigBoy was pretty testy and didn’t like the arena… that quickly wore off and he became the BEST lesson horse. He’s introduced over 100 riders to the sport of horseback riding.
He is a 15.2 hand, 21 y/o draft/cross gelding
Anyone that knows BigBoy knows that he’s the slowest and safest horse around, so much so that he often takes 3 year old’s for rides. Well, a few years back when the farm was focused more on competitive riders only they thought about selling BigBoy to a more recreational program so he could be utilized to his full potential… not 1 but 2 trial homes sent him back for being too FAST! I guess he’s picked his home and he’s not leaving!
