Meet The Tuff Stuff Farm Horse Family

MAC

Mac (Macaroni).  Mac is a 7year old Quarter Horse Gelding. Mac is the barn greeter and loves to visit with visitors.

LADY

Meet Lady Strider. Lady is a registered Standardbred. She had a short racing career due to illness and has produced a few very nice foals. She can be driven or taken for a ride. She prefers her exalted position as pasture ornament.  At 16:0 HH she is the biggest beast in the barn. This mare was the subject of a Gaitpost article on What is Love.

DUDER

This is Duder. (Yes that’s the name on the papers!). Duder was our first addition in 2005 and turned 6 in May, 2008. He is a registered Quarter Horse who has become my designated current everyday ride. Duder’s claim to fame is that he really does not give a hoot about anything!

DUTCHESS

This is Clover Dutchess. Dutchess is the boss of the barn and has earned her position in life. Dutch is a registered Standardbred with an illustrious race record as winner of the BC Sires Stakes and she was also voted Aged Mare of the Year. Dutch has had several foals and like Lady she can be driven or taken out for a ride. She may look like a Thelwell pony but at the advanced age of 232 she still has the spirit of a champion.

MISTER

   

Meet Mister. He is Duder’s older full brother by one year. Like the guy who liked his shaver so much he bought the company, I liked Duder so much we bought his brother. Mister can be more forward moving than Duder and as a result he is more of an English type ride than Duder, but he goes equally well as a cow pony.

 

BURNIE

Barns are like purses. If there is room left something else will get stuffed inside. Meet Shi Burner our Summer 2006 addition to the family. Burnie is a 14 year old quarter horse with several AQHA championships to his credit. Burnie is the perfect balance between our older, geriatric retirement crew and the 6 to 8 year old kids in the barn.

 

 

Snack Time

We feed hay 365 days of the year, including when the horses are out on pasture. Even when you think horses would have no interest in eating dry forage because they have access to acres of grass they still stop by for their daily fill of “dry matter”. Having access to dry forage ensures an adequate intake of fiber which can be difficult when grasses are lush.
