Our Horses
Elsa
Elsa is an adoptee from Kentucky Equine Adoption Center. She is a paint cross mare. She was in training for a year and a half at Justin’s Place before beginning into Barn Buddies. She has done a great job for her participants!
Bodi
Bodi is currently being leased to Justin’s Place for our Barn Buddies therapeutic riding program! She has an incredibly expressive face and is a common favorite among our participants!
Scarlet
After being neglected for several years, Scarlet was rescued by Kentucky Equine Adoption Center. She is suspected to be an Arabian Saddlebred cross. She was able to work through her traumatic past experiences and learn how to help young people. Scarlet served for four years working with youth with a history of neglect and abuse. She now works hard providing amazing experiences for foster and adoptive children in our Stable Moments program and for more advanced riders in Barn Buddies.
T.J.
With a show name like “Tijuana Steppin’ and Stylin’” you’ve got to have quite a personality to go with it! He is an “amish broke” KY Rocky Mountain horse. T.J. was re-homed to non-profit work about four years ago after being a family pleasure horse. He is currently being leased to Justin’s Place. He has a curious and playful personality. He works hard to care for his young riders and provide a fun experience for all.
Stitches
Stitches was surrendered to Kentucky Equine Adoption Center after being out to pasture for several years. In her younger years Stitches did it all- from showing 4H barrels to 3 ft jumpers! Her breed is a Paint cross. She is known for her calm demeanor and is incredibly tolerant of beginner riders. Children are drawn to her for her beautiful colored coat and her laid back personality.
Solo
After many years providing western riding activities and trail rides, Solo has found his second lifetime career at Justin’s Place! He is a farm favorite! His buckskin coloring makes him a frequently photographed horse and his sweet demeanor makes him a frequently hugged/kissed horse!
Dash
Dash has gained the reputation of our big teddy bear. He is a chestnut, quarter horse who works very earnestly at his job! He is being leased to Justin’s Place as a lesson horse. His gentle but bumpy jog is many of our participant’s favorites!
Tess
Tess is on lease from a local family. She is a haflinger mare that provides an excellent wide barrel and shorter height for many riders! She is known for her beautiful thick mane and curious facial expressions.
Little John
He is the biggest horse on the farm! A Belgian gelding, purchased as a vaulting prospect. He is known for his big movement and gentle eyes.
