Meet the Animals
The Namesake
Willow
Willow is a 12 year old mare with a whole lot of spunk! She likes to roll around in the dirt and change from white to brown. Also, she doesn't need a bell to know when it's dinner time.
We welcomed Willow in the summer of 2023 to keep our other horse, Gunner, company. She moved right in and was an instant fit! She has the perfect, happy go lucky attitude while not being afraid to show Gunner who the real boss is.
Willow's pasture partner
Gunner
Gunner is a 18 year old Appaloosa Quarter Horse. He started out as a competition horse, but over the years, he has turned into a chunky pasture pony. He's real friendly and loves to chow down on any snacks you bring his way.
For years, Gunner's partner in crime was his best buddy, Bentley. They would never leave each others' side, even if gunner let his little man syndrome kick in and got a little bossy.
A fallen friend
Bentley
Oh Ben. He was a gentle giant who loved everybody. He was laid back and liked to cruise around the pasture with Gunner. If you started dancing around him, he would start to swing his long neck side to side like Stevie Wonder. We said goodbye to him in the early summer of 2023. Rest in peace Bentley.
