ODIE

ODIE is a ten-year-old, 16.2hh registered chestnut thoroughbred gelding, with a big white blaze and a goofy face. His puppy dog personality is best matched by his tongue, which hangs out of his mouth on all occasions and his tail, which swishes back and forth when he greets you. Under saddle, Odie is one of the calmest and most collected horses that we have in our barn. Whether he’s walking around with a beginner or jumping a course with one of our more advanced riders, he never bats an eye or takes a step out of place. Like all our horses, Odie is accustomed to loud farm machinery, barking dogs and other distractions and always conducts himself like a complete gentleman. If you’re looking for an old spirit in a young package, this sweet boy is the one for you.
