Beans is a very cool older pony (20 ish) mare, she is 12.2 but solidly built. She is perfect for longe lessons and newly independent kids walk and trot. She can get strong at the canter but is a hoot for little kids who don't mind the gas peddle. She does like to jump too. She won't run off on little ones at walk and trot tho not to worry. She is great indoors and out but has no real trail experience but would be fine to lead around with a good hand or to be ponied along. She is Cushings positive and managed on a low dose. She is a hard keeper and does really well on pasture in summer and Teff hay and a fat supplement and warm blankie in winter. Another great Pony Club option.
Classy is a pretty, 15.1 hh, 17 yo, Arab cross mare. She is a fabulous mount for taller kids, teens, and average sized adults. She was originally at Semiahmoo stables and is a career lesson horse but would love her own person too. She is great to ride inside and out and likely would be fine on trails but has minimal experience here. She is very brave but is not a fan of pole work or jumping so a flat only home please. She would be really fun to show locally in dressage and would be a fine PC horse for a child who wanted to stay on the Flat Stream. She recently had a full vet work up and scope to determine the cause of occasional abdominal pain - she has delayed gastric (stomach) emptying so requires free feeding in a slow feeder 24/7 of soft hay and no large grain feeds - vet records will be shared happily.
Clifford the Big Red Horse (aka Duke from Balanced Equestrian on Van Isl prior to us) 15.2 hh SOLIDLY built, 20 year old, draft cross, gelding. Fabulous feet, an "unbreakable sort". Super quiet and not spooky. Livens up just enough to be fun outside. Good on trail but hasn't done a live of river crossings and bridges but he'd take it in stride. Will come on contact and ride a cute lower level test or jump around the long stirrup. Snaffle mouth happy with spur and crop. Big enough for most adults but a teen or larger built child is suitable. Fun to show locally. He is bouncy but considering how fun he is to ride it's a good compromise. He prefers to live outside in a paddock as he is so playful on his off time he can live with others in a field. No health issues UTD on all care goes fine barefoot good even on crusher. He would be a blast for a teen looking for a fun Pony Club companion.
Mr JJ (Jinx) is a senior pony who, at 20+ has seen a few thing sin his life - he is a wise old soul. He has taught his own 2 kids how to ride and took them through the pony club levels. He joins us now as Jenny's son Spencer's first Pony Club pony and will do light lesson duty.
Born in 1997 Jenny has owned Kjanu since 2004. He has successfully competed in every riding discipline including hunters and jumpers in California He has also taught many children and adults how to ride. He’s kind and gentle with a sense of humour. (Kjanu is semi retired and only works lightly in the summer months. His other retirement job is a very valuable one of teaching weanlings to 4 year olds how to behave properly in the horse world).
SOLD to a wonderful new home to have his OWN person - enjoy what is next for you good man!
Off on maternity leave carrying a fjord embryo!
She will be for sale upon weaning her 2023 foal for a discounted price as she will need a refresher under saddle after a year off.
Laurel is a 15.2 hh, 9 year old Connemara x Paint, mare who spent several years as a fox hunter. She has been a lesson horse off and on for a few years too. She is great for our advanced students who are starting to jump courses.
Jenny’s daughter Kylie’s 11.2 hh Welsh pony. Leia has been a special pony of our family for 7 years and is a trusted friend. She helps out with lead line lessons and is perfectly smooth for the tiniest and most timid little ones.
SOLD to a final and forever home. Lloyd is a handsome, 16.2+ hh, Percheron x TB. He is getting into condition now and he'll be on the roster by late summer.
London came from the Kootenays from a fellow who used him to hunt and pack game - a friend of a friend referred him and we made him into a stellar riding horse. London is an 18 years old (best guess no papers), 15.3 hh, draft cross gelding. He is super easy on the ground and in the barn NO issues whatsoever and he can go with others. Stands tied or x-tied for hours. He did have a western background and had a pretty quick stop but he understands the differences now and is wonderful on the longe and independent WTC. He's not a jumping horse - so many years on the trail he is careful about picking his way across unusual terrain. He is great at obstacle sports and is good on the trail. Superb feet and no health issues he's UTD on everything. He's simple in every way a nice one in the barn for sure.
GOLDEN UNICORN ALERT! The prettiest of the crew here and I'd keep this one if I didn't have unicorns for my own kids already! Maizie was also originally at Balanced Equestrian on the Island and is a gem of a grade Welsh mare Palomino and 13.2 hh at around 20 years old our best guess vet confirmed. She has a wonderful WTC both on the longe and off. She can jump around a small course and will land her leads. She is super safe for littles in the smaller arena but can go and gallop outside with the bold riders. She can ride a nice test too and is a sweet lead liner for tiny ones. She is Cushings positive but managed on a low dose. She would EXCEL in Pony Club - Ponies like this are HARD to find!!!!!!
Periwinkle is Jenny's son's pony and best buddy but he's such a good guy he has to spend a little time sharing the love with the lesson program. He is a small gelding with a big heart and is quiet but a good mover and teacher. Periwinkle got his name due to his unusual eye colouring.
Saida is a 15hh, sorrel or chestnut, 18 year old, QH mare that is a leased horse to our program and we feel very privileged. Saida has a loving owner who has shown her in every English and Western discipline. Her daughter even learned to jump on Saida although that wasn't Saida's first calling and now this same daughter jumps Grand Prix and has two enormous lovely Warmbloods also boarding right here at Footnote. You will enjoy riding a horse with this level of training and compliance
