Black Beauty is one of a kind! Our smallest pony, she has a big heart and a personality to match. Before she came to the farm, she had a tough life as a driving pony. She was mishandled, scared and only has one eye (don’t tell her!). But Beauty has found her purpose at Fox Run Farm and with loving care, she has turned into a sweet, reliable, fun pony who is a farm favorite. She teaches lessons, shows in dressage and over fences and loves to trail ride. She is a regular in our hunter paces and costume contests. She is a big amount of joy in a small pony package!
Mojo is half Percheron and half Morgan. He is very sweet but also a very talented dressage horse. In 2023, one of our young students won the Central Tennessee Dressage Association year end championship in her division. He is a big boy at 16.3 hands and has a big personality. When he is not being shown, he teaches lessons and helps our students learn the finer points of dressage.
Brandy is a Paint mare who has a huge fan club at Fox Run Farm. She is dependable, patient and kind and has taught countless people, young and old, to ride. She loves to trail ride and also shows at our farm in dressage and lower level jumping. She and one of our students won the inaugural Fox Run Farm Musical Kur Classic. She belongs to Ms. Stacey Nelson who has kindly retired her here so she can continue to make riding dreams come true.
Paso’s is a pretty black Thoroughbred race horse, who raced in Puerto Rico for many years. When he was retired, he was purchased to be a school horse at our farm. When he first arrived, one of our Puerto Tican student‘s family used to come speak Spanish to him so he wouldn’t feel lonely. That began a love affair that resulted in him being purchased by the McClellan family. They now share him with our students and he teaches lessons. Paso is a very sweet, albeit lazy, fellow who loves attention and treats!
Curly is our resident gentle giant. A 17 hand Thoroughbred, he is a son of the famous Curlin. As luck would have it, he didn’t race but was used as a pony horse at the racetrack. He now teaches lessons and is so patient and quiet that he is an excellent beginners’ horse. Young and old, little and big, beginner or not, students love Curly and his teddy bear persona. Despite his size, he doesn’t like to jump but you will find him in every dressage show at the farm!
Halime is a beautiful little bay Arabian mare. She came to us as a jumping pony, but there is a hidden dresssage horse in her. She is kind, quiet and is as good at. teaching beginners as she is at taking a more advanced student around a jump course. She won the 2023 Fox Run Farm Musical. Kur Classic paired with another Arabian riding in costume to Arabian Nights. She is a willing lesson partner and has a big fan club of little girls!
Zion is a Dutch Warmblood gelding who belongs to Sean Wallace. He is a very nice dressage horse and is great at helping dressage students learn lateral work and how to ride from your leg. He isn’t going to offer to work hard as he is on the lazy side but willl rewards of students greatly when they are correct. He is gentle and loves attention and we also use him for unmounted lessons.
Casper is an icon at Fox Rrun Farm. His owner, Stacey Nelson, retired him here to be able to teach and he has educated hundreds of students from beginners to advanced, young and old, dressage riders and jumpers. He is extremely gentle and kind, talented and willing. He is now retired as a riding horse but teaches unmounted lessins and is our farm ambassador.
Korissa is Elizabeth’s dressage horse. But she also gets to teach students what a true dressage horse feels like. She is a bay Rhineland mare who loves to work and offers her heart every time. She is willing and kind but also fancy and a pretty mover. If you get the opportunity to ride her you won’t soon forget her as one student said, she is “glorious!”
