Favereux-- 'Favi'

Favi is owned by Bryn Walsh. They have excelled in the past few years and are preparing to make their Grand Prix debut in 2012.  They are a driven pair looking to try an exciting new freestyle and perhaps the CDI arena.

De Laurien-- 'Rio'

Rio is Becky Reed's exciting young horse!  This handsome, Hanoverian gelding is very talented, but also very challenging!  Watch for him this summer as Becky gets him out and about to shows.  Rio has a puppy dog personality and the potential to go very far in dressage once his 'young brain' catches up!!

 

Blu's Art In Motion-- 'Sambuca'

Sambuca is the prince of Karin Giordano's family. He is a quarter horse who has the movement to put many to shame. He has had a varied career so far in his life, but Karin does some jumping and mostly dressage with him.  He's a sweet boy who wants to please and will excel at first level this year.

Puttin' On The Fritz-- 'Fritz'

Fritz and his owner Emma Oppewall have taken the dressage world by surprise! At 14.3 H, you wouldn't assume this welsh cross gelding would be a threat- but are they ever! They are practicing hard to make the leap to third level.  Emma, Fritz, and Liz Oppewall are some of the most dedicated rider/horse/mom we have met! We are so happy they are such an integral part of our crew!

Flyin' First Class-- 'Logan'

Kate Weatherbee's horse Logan is a 17 H.,  OTTB gelding. Kate is enjoying competing at first and second level with Logan. The judges love him almost as much as Kate does! They are a beautiful team who have been quite successful over the years so far. After a year break from competition, they are back and ready to hit centerline again! The Weatherbees are a wonderful part of our barn!

Kaj -- 'Jak'

Laura Hutton and Jak have been together for only a short time. Laura came to us from a hunter background and fell totally in love with dressage!  Jak is a wonderfully schooled gelding who has tons to teach Laura!  Watch out for this lovely team as they progress through the levels together.  Laura is a great addition to the barn, always smiling and eager to learn!

Wilton-- 'Will'

Lisa Isbister is proudly leasing this very talented Danish Warmblood gelding. She will enjoy learning the finer points of dressage and the upper level movements. She also loves to trail ride and just enjoy her horse. Wilton is quite the character, a beautiful mover, and a lovely show partner! Maybe he can even peak Lisa's interest in showing : )

  'Goldie'

This sweet quarter horse mare is owned and adored by Kathleen Hill. Kathleen spoils her rotten! Goldie is a perfect partner for Kathleen who enjoys trail riding and some occasional ring work. Whether it's been a day or a few weeks since her last ride Goldie is always safe and game for whatever Kathleen wants!

  Star Spangled Banner-- 'Banner'

Becky Holberton took a chance on this sweet, chestnut AWB gelding. She doesn't know much about his history but saw a lot of potential. She and Adrianne Leopold, under Becky Reed's guidance, are working on bringing this boy along in to a competitive dressage horse.

  'Cheyenne'

The cutest pony of the barn title goes to Kathleen Hill's other pony Cheyenne. She is a very small paint pony intended to be company for her big sister, Goldie. She is an uncomplicated ride for smaller riders and loves to jump! Mostly she loves when Kathleen comes out to spoil her with apples and carrots! Don't forget to look in when you pass her stall- otherwise you might miss her!

Majik

Jeri Blethen and her adorable Azteca gelding Majik have found their niche here at Puckerbrush! We love having these two as part of the Team! They are very positive and driven to succeed! They are supportive of each other and of the rest of our group and LOVE to learn! Accompanying them through their dressage journey is truly a pleasure!

Osstin

Kelly Roarks has found her dream horse! It's taken a few tries to find this boy but he was worth the wait! Osstin is a lovely Swedish warmblood gelding trained thru third level dressage. Kelly has been an accomplished all around rider for many years and is looking to focus on the intricacies of moving up the levels of dressage. We wish them the best of luck and are so happy they are making the journey with us!

Falls Es Regnen Sollte-- 'Sollte'

Whitney Bronson has added a promising new young horse to her herd! Sollte is an Oldenburg/TB gelding hoping to progress quickly in the eventing world! He has a great jump, a wonderful personality, and is quickly picking up his dressage skills! Whitney is really looking forward to teaching Sollte about life and competition! We can't wait to see what they can accomplish!

Ducati-- 'Dukie'

Brianne Parent finally has her first pony!!  Brianne has been with us for one year as a lesson student, diligently working away at refining her skills to one day have her own horse.  Well, that time just came!  Ducati is a wonderful pony for Brianne to learn and grow with.  Ducati is a very good boy on the flat, and especially over fences.  He's just enough of a challenge to keep Brianne on her toes!!  What a great team these two will be!  Watch our for Brianne and Ducati at schooling and jumper shows this fall!  The Parent family is a wonderful addition to the barn and we look forward to having them with us full time!

Moosilauke-- 'Moosi'

Moosi is a Hanoverian mare belonging to Kitty Mitchell. Moosi came to us "just for winter boarding" a long time ago and hasn't left yet.  Moosi and Kitty are dressage enthusiasts that are often seen exploring distractions on the trails and, occasionally, over stadium jumps. Moosi gave birth to a beautiful filly by Fabuleux in June of 2009!  Congratulations to Moosi, Kitty, and baby Franconia 'Frankie'!!

Cadillac and Paxton

Jasper Walsh is the proud owner of the two cutest goats in Newburgh! "The boys" are Nigerian dwarf goats who are often seen lounging on their table out in the sun. These two are great to cuddle with and great to watch. Everyone should own goats as good as these boys!

Dante

Sarah Wiltbank and Dante will be doing a bit of everything this summer. Dressage shows, trail riding, and their real passion- eventing! Dante is an experienced eventing TB gelding with just enough surprises in him to keep Sarah on her toes! We are so happy that Sarah and Dante have found each other! Sarah has been one of our best employees for a while now and deserves to have a horse like Dante to work with!

Fievel

Karin Giordano wanted a well schooled horse to teach her more about dressage and she found it in Fievel! He is a Han cross gelding shown through second level, training third level. While he doesn't fit Karin's typically black color scheme, he has already taught her a lot- that she can then teach her other horse Buca! We look forward to seeing them in the show ring this year!

Katmandu-- 'Kat'

Julie Lebowitz and her Arab gelding Kat are long term boarders of ours. Kat enjoys a life of leisure, making sure the farm is always under control. Julie's a happy, bubbly boarder who always puts a smile on your face!

Georgia's Joey-- 'Joey'

Eileen Stirling's horse, Joey, is a sweet, quiet TB gelding. They have evented quite a bit but have made the switch to dressage and aren't looking back! They have been very successful in this endeavor over the past year and look forward to progressing every day! They are the sweet, easy going boarders that every barn looks to have! Eileen is a member of the UMaine Dressage Team.

  'Dean'

Dean is an older warmblood gelding who is a welcomed addition to Jenn Kent's family. She loves trail riding and is looking forward to learning more about dressage. He is an easy guy to be around and has a lot to offer Jenn.

Mr. Bojangles-- 'Bo'

Bo is Emma Oppewall's faithful older pony. Back when they were both younger he piloted her around her first 2 and 3 phase events, taught her to fall off, to trail ride, and how to love your horse- even when he's not always so honest. Now Bo is older and, most days, quieter and Emma has passed him on to her  mom, Liz. Liz frets over him, trail rides him and makes him feel like the horse he once was "and always will be".
