Blinky (Irish Myth) is a chestnut Irish Thoroughbred gelding, donated to MHC by alumna Annie Shaker. Blinky’s former career was as a jumper, but he has taken to dressage with alacrity. He scored 70 percent at training level, test 4 in the summer of 2005. Blinky is a pleasure to ride—light in the hand and quick to the aids.

Dijon (C’est Vrais), is a handsome chestnut Selle Français gelding, born in 1993. He was donated in 2003 by the Parker family. A successful junior hunter in his earlier years, “DJ” has become a favorite of the dressage program.

Jake (Just Jake) is a gray gelding. He was donated to MHC in 2005 by Madison and Judy Jones. He was first level champion at a horse show in the summer of 2005. While he is primarily a dressage horse, occasionally he steps in to help our hunt seat riders, who appreciate his willing, forward jump.

Maurice was a wonderful addition to our program in the fall of 2006 from his owner Jackie Harris. He is a confirmed Prix St Georges dressage horse. This 1991, bay, Hanoverian gelding is especially lovely because, while he is very highly schooled, he also has wonderfully comfortable gaits and a light mouth. This makes him particularly fun to learn on and he has a great deal to teach.

Oktane is a 15.3h chestnut Anglo Arab foaled in 1996.  He is a competitive second level dressage horse. His size makes him very rideable and his beautiful face with soft doe eyes melts your heart before you even get on.
