“Princess”
Heart of the Farm
Brightleaf Resident since 1999
Miss Jazz Harmony June 15, 1991 Black/Tobiano paint mare Sire-Real Jazz Dam-Impressing Jody out of Mississippi. Princess was purchased by Steven the year of 1999 to be his trail horse. Princess came to the farm a retired barrel racer who was too sensitive to spurs/pressure on the flanks and too fast for beginner riders. Steven immediately fell in love with and loved riding her. She is beautiful, BIG and sweet. Her first name was Jazzy, but was changed by Steven and Heather’s son Chandler when he was 2 years of age. She has matured to be very gentle. She has taught both old and young confidence in riding and grooming. She enjoys being groomed and a good massage. She loves grazing in the shade on a summer day. Princess fully retired October 2014. Princess is trail boss and knows all the farm trails. She truly is the best horse ever born or to trot this planet. She is the heart of the farm and the heart of all that she comes in contact with. She will be in our hearts forever as she passed over to greener pastures RIP 2020.
Luna Diamond in the Sky
Brightleaf Resident Since 2010
Luna is a beautiful Grulla quarter horse mare. Grulla is her coat color, a unique and silvery tone with a single white star on her face, she is truly a diamond in the sky! Luna became a Brightleaf resident in September of 2010 and she quickly found her place in our hearts. She is as sweet and patient as can be and will surely follow in Princess’s footsteps. Luna is great on the trails with a little pep in her step, she is patient with her riders, and when asked to go she can turn a barrel like she was born to do it! Sometimes you’ll hear Luna being referred to as “Chunk” that’s probably because she is one of the bulkiest horses we have, she is built like a western working horse with a thick chest, bulky hind quarters, and broad shoulders. Don’t let her “Chunk” status fool you though, she is sweeter than honey. We are happy to have Luna as part of the Brightleaf family and look forward to many more years. There will never be another Luna and we miss her dearly. She has passed over to greener pastures RIP 2024.
