Hi, I'm Andy!
I'm an 22 year old, 16.1 hh, Thoroughbred, Gelding, who use to be a hunter and equitation show horse on the A circuit.  I walk, trot, canter and jump up to 2'6"'.  I'm quiet and willing, I love my job but hate to be left alone in the pasture.  I have known Spot and Robyn since I was 3 years old!
I love my job as a lesson horse at Great Escape and carrots and apples and peppermints and every other kind of horse treats.

See ya 'round the pasture!
Greetings little riders (and big ones too)!
I'm Tazz a 15 year old, 15.3 hh Grade, Gelding.  That means I'm a mix of various breeds, every one says I look like Smokey only a lot smaller.  I use to go to dressage shows and I have been trained to jump as well.  I also love trail rides with an equine friend.  I love riders of all ages and teaching all my riders how to steer. 

Come visit me!!!
I'm Gus and I'm 12 years old.  I'm a 16.3hh, Thoroughbred, Gelding.  I'm really a boarder horse but I give lessons too!  I'm a lazy walk, trot, canter horse and teach basic jumping.  I love to jump big jumps too but sometimes get too excited for my own good and cut my comers so my mom says only teaching over cross poles till riders have good jump steering!
I'm love going to horse shows especially in the summer when I'm not helping with day camp.  I love to eat treats and going out in my pasture.

Let's go for a ride (or jump)!
You looking at me?? Are you...looking at me?? Oh you are...well in that case I'm Buddy!  I use to be a boarder horse but recently joined the lesson program full time as my owner has moved up to a new pony.  I'm a Welsh/Halflinger cross and I'm 14hh.  I'm 21 years old and know my job....to make my rider ride me.  I love to be sneaky when my riders let me like cutting corners, finding my way to the center of the ring or around a jump.  I can teach riders how to walk, trot, canter and jump.  I'm very laid back and like the rest of my buddy's at GES love treats. 
See ya 'round the barn

Hi I'm PB!
I'm 9 years old and about 14hh.  I walk, trot and canter around.  I have also been working on my jumping skills, I really LOVE to jump.  I can trot cross-pole and vertical courses with ease and am learning to canter consistently around all my courses.  I love to be groomed and I love treats.  I'm great at giving that first ride to a beginner or teaching a rider to jump correctly.  One of my favorite activities is trail rides, there's nothin better then strolling down a lone country road checking out the neighborhood!!

Saddle Up!!!
Kali
"Kalika"
Hi I'm KaLi!
I'm 12hh of redheaded pony mare!  I'm feisty with the geldings but gentle with my riders.  I have some get up and go when you ride me but stick with me kid and I'll take care of you! 
I love everything, my food, the pasture, Tazz, treats, pats & hugs.  I'm very alert to all that goes on.  I'm 15 years old and have been there done that. I walk, trot, canter, gallop, jump and could even take you to a show!

Sign up for some lessons
so we can hang out!

I'm Smokey and my roots go back to the deep south!  I'm a Georgian Grande.  I'm almost 17 hh and gray.  My current job is as a dressage horse and I'm not sure about all this on-the-bit, top-line, suppleness stuff.  I'm a former trail horse and still like to go out for a hack down the dirt roads here at GES.  I love treats especially sugar cubes and Andy is my new best friend.  I have very big, thundering strides and only give lessons on rare occasions as I too am a boarder horse.

Lets hit the trials!!!
My name is Max I'm a 15.3 hh, TB gelding.  I have quite a varied history before coming to my current family.  When I was 4 or 5 years old I was a race horse and made someone quite a bit of money with my speed.  Then I was retrained with dressage and jumping.  I spent some time at a hunt club in western Michigan and then found my way to an owner who just wanted to walk along trails with me.  Which was ok but I prefer to have a more exciting job. 
Chloe, my new mom, is wonderful! We canter and jump together like it was meant to be.  She feeds me lots of treats, is making me fat and gives me plenty of exercise.
I spend my days eating and enjoying my home at Great Escape.  I'm friendly and love attention.  Chloe says someday soon we will be horse showing!!
Give me a muzzle kiss....*Muah*

Howdy, I'm CJ!
I'm a well mannered, 15.1 hh, bay, quarter horse with a sweet personality!  I've been there, done that and am ready for more!  I love trail rides, jumping, grazing and hanging out with my new mom Phelan :)  I have been trained in Western and English, back in the day I did western pleasure and gaming.  More recently I was shown as a hunter/jumper and now do primarily English.  I am easygoing with people and other horses, I have good work ethic and willing attitude.  I love to take care of my rider and teach them the rope of whichever skill they wish to learn!
Stop by and say "HI"!

Horses that will gallop in our hearts forever!
Some one put the wrong name on my picture, that's odd.  My mom calls me Pumpkin, not H-u-n-t-e-r.  Either way I'm a 20 year old, Warmblood/Paint cross, gelding.  I have a long background in dressage and jumping as well as being a backyard and trail horse.  My mom, Beth, is the stable manager at GES and has worked hard to retrain me as a hunter/jumper horsey.  I love to jump, as high as I can, about 3', and go to shows.  We did very well last year in our Hunter & Equitation classes.  I'm not a lesson horse but have done a few here and there.  I love Gus, treats (my mom gets the good kind) and sleeping.

Spots my name, eating's my game!  I love to eat.....grass, hay, treats out of your pocket you name it and I'll sniff it out and eat it.  I teach leadline lessons when I'm needed but am mostly retired.  I'm an old friend of Andy's and Robyn's.  I'm blind in one eye so my riders and handlers help me out around the barn and I like having a buddy close by.  I follow voice commands like "trot Spot" while being ridden and like the occasional trail ride with a helpful and careful rider.  I'm in my 30's, I'm about 14.1 hh and I'm a Leopard Appy!
Spot - 1980's to 2011

J.R., that me!  I'm a color changing 14.1 hh, quarter pony.  During the fall, winter and spring I'm a soft, velvet black.  In the summer I'm a dark bay with some dapples.  Kearra is my new mom and she knows how I love my peppermints :)  I've been doing English, Western and a little bit of everything which I love and now I get to do lots of jumping which is one of my favoritest things *Whiiiiiiinnnnnyyy*  I like trail riding and horse showing too.  I've been there done lots of that :)  By nature I am very curious and nosey, I like to know what's going on and who wants a cuddle or muzzle kiss.  I'm easy going, forward and sweet with a good attitude!
I'm very talkative too *Neeeeeiiiiiigggghhhh*
