Kingsley

Kingsley had a long career as a fancy show horse before he came to Longacres. His owner found other interests and he just sat in pasture eating grass for a couple of years before coming to Longacres late in his showing life. He is a valued member of our herd.

Brownie

Brownie is the “elder statesman” of Longacres school horses. He has taught hundreds of Longacres students to ride over the many years of his long career! And he is still doing it in 2007 – 2008! Long live Brownie! Click HERE for more pictures and stories about Brownie!

Justin

Justin is one of the most comfortable horses in the barn to ride on the flat and is no slouch over fences. Click HERE for more pictures and stories about Justin!

Peppermint Patty

Patti is old now and we use her sparingly. She is one of the most famous show jumpers in western New York State and has won nearly every championship and special jumping event ever held in our part of the country at one time or another in her long career. Old? Yes; but nonetheless, we prepared her at the end of last summer for the “A” rated Erie County Fair show and she was Champion in the Beginner Jumper division!!!!
