Welcome to BlueMoon Ranch! Here we have a variety of horses and ponies all of which are well loved. Although I do not call myself a 'rescue' I will find the odd horse or pony in need and take them home. The most recent are a couple yearlings, one of which was in very poor condition(he is now a healthy, sound and energetic colt).
A brief history of BlueMoon Ranch
I've been riding horses for more then 18 years and I've loved it through thick and thin. I mainly trail ride but I have done a few years of gymkhana and recently I've taken up Jumping with goals to compete. Training horses is a joy for me and I have been doing so for 5 years. I continue to learn new techniques or methods but never do I want to stop learning new things. I have trained client's horses, ponies and miniatures but I mainly enjoy working with my own young stock.
I bought my first little pony(Peppin) several years ago and from then I fell in love with the little horses. It wasn't long until I bought Merry and I started working with them both, breaking them for the cart. They were easy to work with and both are very intelligent. A couple years after, I bought Mr. T and now I've been breeding these little ponies for three years. This year I will be continuing to work with Loki and Chester and Wren will receive more attention too.
The largest of the ponies I have is Elmer and Hero. Elmer turned out to be fantastic gymkhana horse for me and Hero has had ground work done with him last summer. I plan to go further in his training and ride him this summer.
As well as the ponies, I have horses here at the ranch. Tony and Goliath were my first, followed by Navarre and the rest of them. I love to go out riding any time of year - weather permitting of course!

I was finally able to update most of the site including the Mares, Geldings, Foals and For Sale pages. In the following weeks, I plan to (when I can) continue to update the site by adding more pictures where needed.
