For Lease
Tuck is very well mannered, suitable for all riding levels. Completely safe and bomb-proof, he is trained in English, with a base in dressage and some trail riding as well as a lesson horse for beginner and/or confidence-issue riders. We call him the sleep number pony because he adjusts his energy level to suit his rider: calm and quiet for a nervous or new rider, energetic and fun for a more advanced rider, but always safe and kind. Although Tuck is technically a pony by breed, he is sturdy and strong enough for full sized adults ( his owner is 5'11"!). We are located at a full service boarding facility with lit arenas, corrals, and plenty of trails. Lease terms are flexible. A caring, holistic trainer is available for private lessons should you need/want lessons.Contact us for more info:

Tuck, a Fell Pony, is our youngest rare breed stallion. Born in May of 2002, he came to us in February of 2003 at the tender age of 10 months from the Fells of England. He was licensed by the FPS in 2006 and is approved for breeding.

Fells are a rare breed, with just less than 100 horses existing in the United States at the time of this writing. The majority of Fells are black, about 87% actually. But our Tuck is one of a few percentage of Fells who are born grey. He will be snow white by the time he is about 9 or 10 years old.

To our knowledge there are only two other grey stallions in the U.S. as of July, 2006 ( if you know of more, let us know!). Tuck is sired by Goytvalley Magic Minstrel, and out of a mare named Orton Hall Dolly. Tucks registered name is Llancloudy Abraham.

Tuck is quite a precocious young man! He is charming and cute, energetic and playful, affectionate and smart, slightly stubborn ( ponies!) and unbelievably curious! If you are in a paddock with him doing something, he can't stand not knowing what it is you're messing with. He just HAS to investigate!

Tuck has grown up to become one of most important horses. He is our lesson horse, etaching everything from the very greenest of beginners to more advanced riders. We call him the sleep number pony, because he adjusts himself to suit the experience level of his rider, being quiet and slow with beginners or nervous riders, more energetic and challenging for more advanced riders.

Between shows, exhibitions and media performances, showing off the tricks and High School movements we can already tell he will excel at, we envision a beautiful future for this boy!

He is without a doubt is the most levelheaded little horse we've ever worked with. We have yet to find something that will spook him! But he is forward and willing and fun as well! Sure-footed, smart, and lovely to hack out on since he is all of the above.

Put together just beautifully with loads of heavy bone, a strong, short, level back and lovely head and neckset. Top it all off with a strong desire to work and learn, that willing and kind nature and forward, beautiful movement, he is just all around a wonderful critter!
