Profile

For “Snickers”, the list of wonderful traits is just too long:

• Brave
• Sweet
• Easy keeper
• Easy to ride gaits – very smooth
• Patient teacher of beginners and experienced riders
• Supple, balanced, light, and easy to ride
• Super training/first level dressage pony
• Consistent – she is the same pony at shows as she is at home
• True Competitor – regularly scores in the mid 60s with youth riders at USDF recognized shows!

Snickerdoodle DHF is simply a wonderful pony who is willing and able to take your child, teach her/him to ride, and only ask for love in return.

A significant reason for the success of the DHF Riding School is its fantastic herd of Dancing Horses. Because of the respect we have for our school horses, we do not intend to keep horses/ponies in our program for many years.

We are always careful to not overwork our wonderful equine teachers and to give them as much well deserved time off as needed. Very close attention is paid to their moods, condition, soundness, and training; with changes made as necessary to give them the best environment possible.

All DHF-owned horses receive routine veterinary and dental care, are up-to-date on all vaccinations, have current negative Coggins certificates, have individual nutrition programs and are on an 8-week rotational deworming program. They all receive regular bodywork and, those who need it, get joint therapy through monthly polyglycan injections that are akin to a combination of Adequan and Legend and are administered by our veterinarian.

Our school horses work hard as teachers and through them many people learn how to become conscientious riders and horse people. We clearly see that our equine teachers love sharing their knowledge with riders when they light up to greet the next student at their stall or field, but also believe that they deserve to eventually “graduate” to having their own personal family.

A DHF school horse is ready to pass on the teaching torch to his/her replacement when they have a strong foundation in correct dressage basics through professional training by DHF staff, have taught hundreds of lessons to riders of multiple ability levels, and have show ring experience. We pride ourselves in creating amazing horses and ponies because of these stringent standards.

This “graduation” process is just another example of how dedicated Dancing Horse Farm is to its horse and human clientele.
