Alaska is a handsome perlino Paint/Percheron cross. He is level headed, super comfortable, quiet and very sweet. He was selected and purchased several years ago as a green 6yo specifically for GPE’s lesson program and trained accordingly by the owner of GPE. He has successfully competed in First level dressage and is currently training Second. He is our go-to horse for teaching all dressage basics and is also used regularly in our jumping program.

Ember
Ember is an smaller, chestnut mare with lovely conformation and lots of talent. Best of all, she is quick to learn and eager to please. She is in high demand with our teens and smaller adult riders. While she is doing great in jumping, we are also beginning to train her for dressage and have high hopes for her in that discipline as well.
Jedi
One of our top rung large ponies, Jedi is very dependable over the jumps and thoroughly enjoys his job. In his teens and equipped with Arab stamina, he still has a long career ahead of him. As a former show pony Jedi has the training and talent to teach advanced beginners and up. He is currently being used regularly in our lesson program.

Milkshake
Meet Milkshake, one of the mini members of GPE’s riding school. As a Shetland Pony standing a mere 11hh, Milkshake was purchased especially for our youngest students. Her friendly, cooperative personality, petite size, and unusual coloring, have made her an instant hit. She is working out very well in our program and we expect to be doting on her for long time.
Olaf
Olaf was purchased for GPE a few years ago to fill our need for a larger jumper. With his sturdy Canadian Warmblood conformation and his 17hh of height, he certainly fits the bill. He is a dependable jumper with a kind disposition. After bringing him home to GPE we were pleased to discover that he also has some solid dressage training and is now used in our dressage program as well. He would make an excellent half lease prospect for a taller rider.
Ripley
Introducing Ripley, the beloved school horse at our stables! Standing tall at 16.1 hands, Ripley is a charming grey warmblood with a heart of gold. In his heyday, he graced the show circuits, effortlessly navigating courses up to 3'6 in both equitation and jumpers. After an illustrious career, Ripley gracefully transitioned into a well-deserved retirement from the big jumps, finding joy and fulfillment in teaching school lessons and tackling smaller jumps with enthusiastic riders. With his gentle demeanor and impeccable manners, Ripley quickly wins over the hearts of everyone he meets. Plus, his flawless lead changes add an extra dash of brilliance to every ride. Say hello to Ripley, the epitome of equine elegance and kindness!
