Brandy
Welcome to Spirit Trail Adventures! My name is Brandy and
even though I am getting closer to retiring age,
I still hold the position of the Alpha female.
I’ve earned this position because of my courage,
wisdom and my never failing willingness to be accountable
for my herd.
I am very proud and I do know of my power. I descended from the famous Man O’ War – the
greatest racehorse that ever lived (www.tbgreats.com/bio.html)
.
I teach people who ride me about living up to their highest potential.... because
that’s what I do. |

Sassy
Yeaha, I am Sassy and everybody
tells me how beautiful I am. My favourite sport
is eating. My second favourite activity is days
off. But if my rider is able to accept my attitude
and gets me out of the yard, I am actually a fun
horse to ride. Ah... and if you would like to see
me on TV, go to www.youtube.com and
fill in the search box “moniquehaarlem”.
For a small fee (how about a bag of crunchies)
we can send you my autograph. |

Rasza
Hello, my name is Rasza and
I am an Arab. To this day I can’t figure out
why I ended up being a mountain horse, because
I actually don’t really like to roughen it.
I have lots of style and dignity – clearly
living up to my blue blooded heritage. However,
if my rider treats me gently, I shine on the
most difficult trails with my smoothness and
elegance.

Musie
Hi there, I am Musie...
and WHO ARE YOU??? I am the youngster of the herd,
5 years old and a Morgan. I LOVE to run with the
wind and jump off cliffs and do other exciting stuff.
New adventures and discoveries are my MOST FAVOURITE
things to do. Only “real” horse people
can handle me – that’s why I love my “Dad” Charlie
so much.... he knows his stuff. I come for him whenever
he calls me and I like to follow him around like
a shadow... you know, just to keep an eye on him
and to get him into trouble.

Dakota
Dakota is
my name, I am an Appaloosa gelding. I like my life
at Spirit Trail and my favourite mares are Brandy,
Rasza and Sassy. I pride myself of being the
lightest neck-reiner of the herd. Therefore I prefer
riders who treat me gently. Every now and again I
am being told that I am a bit of a goof, but my real
secret weapon is my tail. I could kill a fly on your
cheek with one “swoosh”.... just walk
by close enough, okay? |

Dude
Hello, I am Dude. Charlie says
he has never seen a taller Morgan before. He really
likes me because I am gentle and so comfortable
to ride on. I grew up on the Alberta Prairie and
still need to learn a lot about mountain life.
Sometimes I still act like a teenager.... innocent
and yet a bit wild, even though I am 11 years old.
But hey.... the girls like it...! |

Marbels
Hi, my name is Marbels. I am a
10 year old Quarterhorse gelding and the newest “kid
on the block”. I recently ended my career as
a jumper. I like my more relaxed “retired athlete” life....
especially eating fresh grass and hanging out in
a REAL herd of horses is great. I prefer light riders
who treat me very gently – those are my favourites. |

Royal
My name is Royal. I am a 15 year
old Morgan mare and I am beautiful and in the prime
of my life and I know it. If you can live up to my
standards, great. If not, you might as well not waste
my time.
I am a hard worker and very stubborn. And every now and again I wouldn’t
mind running away to find myself a good, strong stallion, because my last baby
was Musie and that was 5 years ago. |

Drifter
Hello, have you got Crunchies in your pocket? No...??
Are you sure??? Let me “vacuum clean” you
with my big, soft lips.... there might be something
eatable and you might not know it... maybe an apple...
No problem... I can find it. Just STAND STILL! I
am Drifter – casual, laid
back and ALWAYS in the mood for a treat. On the trail
I am an anchor – I know my job and I simply
do it. |

James
James is my name. (Jim or Jimmy
for my friends). I am a Belgium/Quarterhorse and
together with my buddy Jay I pull the sleigh and
the wagon. I am also a great horse for trail
riding. I usually take care of the “bigger
guns”. Just don’t jerk me around and
pull my reins too hard, okay.... because I HATE that. |

Jay
Hello, my name is Jay. (My mom
calls me Jay-Jay and she blows me kisses, which is
a bit embarrassing). I am the other half of the team,
but I also go out as a trail horse. I like to explore
and check things out, but my REAL PASSION in life
is WATER!! I love to drink right from the hose, I
love to be bathed and I use every chance I can, to
wade around in the pond to eat all the water plants. No,
I am not a moose, but a Belgium/Quarterhorse with
the softest eyes you have ever seen. |
