| Annabelle | ![]() |
Breed: Belgian Color: Flaxen Chestnut Annabelle is the sturdiest carriage horse as well as trail horse. She takes her time when she has a rider on her back, or a carriage hooked up. She's one of the most gentle horses you can ever meet, even though she is massive. She can frequently be found "mowing" the Fairwinds grounds! |
| Ariel | Breed: Thoroughbred Color: Bay Ariel was formerly a polo pony- but retired to be a great lesson horse AND trail horse! She recently made her debut in the papers ridden by Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley. |
|
| Coco | Breed: Morgan Cross Color: Bay Coco loves going out on the trails, and is learning how to jump from her leaser. She really enjoys working at Fairwinds! |
|
| Daytona | Breed: Thoroughbred Color: Seal Brown Daytona is from Argentina, and came to Fairwinds retiring from a rather successful career as a polo pony. She is a great trail horse who can go all day, but is also a good lesson horse. |
|
| Polly |
|
Breed: Percheron Color: Grey Polly is a big girl- and is considered small for her breed! She was very overweight when we bought her, and we started working on a weight loss plan, but the very next week she had a surprise foal in the field, which explained everything. Now that Fire is all grown up- Polly pulls carriages and gives trail rides. |
| Sienna | Breed: Thoroughbred Color: Bay Sienna is a successful hunter/jumper competition horse and is used in advanced lessons. Her leaser loves to take her to jumper shows! |

| Biz | Breed: Thoroughbred Color: Chestnut FOR SALE Biz is a big sweet heart, quiet enough for day camp but advanced enough for showing. His race and show name is Mr. Showbiz. |
|
| Chance | ![]() |
Breed: Paint/ Thoroughbred (?) Color: Piebald He's not a lesson horse, but he does live at Fairwinds and will happily accept your treats! (Although- you have to put them in his bucket since he will continue to pick pockets after the treats are gone if you don't.) His mom, Janine, frequently helps out at the barn as a trail guide. |
| Clay | Breed: Morgan Color: Brown A favorite of many of the students for his spunky attitude and comfortable gates. Clay is used in our show team, and does really well! And remember; don't call him fat! He's fluffy! |
|
| Gates |
|
Breed: Thoroughbred Color: Chestnut Gates is one of our youngest horses with a great amount of potential ahead! Originally he raced, but he is such a sweet slow boy, he failed as a racehorse. Our advanced students are learning how to train horses with him, realizing they have to be patient to teach him to be an amazing show horse. |
| Joey | Breed: Appaloosa Color: Blue Roan Joey is one of our excellent beginner ponies. He is very gentle and sweet! However, this bugger likes to walk over jumps- so make sure you carry a crop! |
|
| Painted Warrior | Breed: American Paint Color: Piebald Paint is JoAnn's personal favorite- as she rescued him when he was younger. She personally worked with him to get him over his fear of humans. Don't tell him he's 28+ years old, because he is still running and jumping! He is featured on the back of JoAnn's novels. |
|
| Sailor | Breed: Thoroughbred Color: Chestnut Sailor has great bloodlines - his grandfather was a famous race horse named Precisionist. And Sailor knows that he should be treated like a king because of it! Sailor is not only a great lesson and trail horse, but an amazing show horse! Our boy cleans up very nice. |
|
| Smokey Joe |
|
Breed: Appendix Quarter Horse Color: Grey Smokey enjoys going out on the trails. After his four year vacation, he is starting to enjoy working again- especially jumping! There's nothing he WON'T jump! |
| Star | Breed: Morgan Color: Bay Star lives up to his name as one of the best lesson horses ever. He works very hard for all of his riders, as well as listens to them thoroughly! Star has been with Fairwinds for over 10 years, and still continues to be one of the favorite lesson and trail horses. |
|
| Winston | Breed: Thoroughbred Color: Bay Winston is Robby's 3-day event horse that stays in shape as a lesson horse! |
