Snoopy aka: Snoop Daddy Hancock
Snoopy was leased to us ino October 2021. He is a big goofball and loves treats of any kind. Snoopy has become one of our best independent trotting horses and kids learn to post the trot on him because he is so smooth. While Snoopy is not very patient and does not like standing still, he is happy once he gets put to work. In the second photo you can see that after only two weeks with us, Snoopy participated in our first annual FUNdraiser Horse Show in October 2021.
Rhylee
HADA Sugarman Jax aka: Rhylee is a 14 year old AQHA gelding. Rhylee has had quite the life! He has done hours of trail rides in Western and Eastern Washington, he’s competed in a drill team, he loves to chase cows and he even rides English. Rhylee suffered a break of his cannon bone at the age of four which has created early arthritis and fusion in his hock. He can no longer keep up with his previous busy life and has been retired with us to be spoiled by our riders and have a lighter career. Rhylee loves to give kisses!
Cookie
Cookie is a 24yr old mare who has lived at Triple L Ranch for many years. We are lucky to half lease her while her owner, Avery, is attending college. Avery and Cookie competed in APHA and 4H shows for many years. Cookie has also been a broodmare and that is the reason for her ’01’ brand on her shoulder. Even though she is not spotted, she is a paint horse and has produced very colorful babies.
Pickles
Pickles is estimated to be a 16 year old grade pinto gelding. We don’t actually know what breed he is! He joined us in May 2023 needing some extra TLC and groceries. He has blossomed into a ‘sweet pickle’ and loves standing to be groomed. Which is good, because his mane and tail are thick!
Charlie
Charlie is owned by the family of Triple L Ranch. He was shown by their daughter in AQHA shows across the country. He loves to give a big toothy grin when you find the perfect spot to scratch. Charlie goes English, Western, bareback and his owner has even vaulted on him.
Rest in Peace Sheldon
Our time with Sheldon was cut far too short. He is remembered for his quite nature and being so smooth to ride.
Rest in Peace Fred
Fred helped start Empowering Strides, he was our first lesson horse. Thank you for always keeping our riders safe and teaching everyone you met a thing or two.
Rest In Peace Charlie
Charlie left a large hole in our program and in many hearts including Laura, his owner, volunteers and riders. We will always cherish the time we had with him.
Rest in Peace Grace
Gracie will always be remembered for her motherly nature. She always new when to test and when to be extra gentle. She was greeted in heaven by her former owner, Rachel Pomeroy.
Rest In Peace Sweet BeBe
BeBe was an incredibly sweet and gentle mare. Our time with her was short but we are grateful we got to spoil her until her last day.
