Truffle is a farm favorite. She left the farm a couple of times, in theory, to go to a "forever home". She made it quickly known that DDHF is her forever home, so she is back for good. She has a spunky pony personality, is fabulous at ring-work, jumping, online work, trails, and hugs. She has personality galore and can be a bossy boots, but we love her to bits.

Doc came from Hope's Legacy.  He is a super valued member of the team.  He is a farm favorite, the best guy to hang out with, super handsome, capable, kind, willing, and  a hard worker.  He is mostly a western ranch horse, but does his best to go about in an English saddle at a respectable gait if it means he's helping someone. 

Callisto Fineen was born on our farm in Brightwood on May 1, 2022.  She is our pride and joy and was a long time coming.  We bred our first mare, Sara, to Redbud Blue Moon, a gorgeous Connemara Stallion out of California, and after a long wait, several tries, and a lot of love and anticipation Calliston arrived. She has Sara's wonderful personality, love for humans, and zest for learning and pleasing.  We are very excited to see what the future holds for this very sweet, special little girl.
