	Ele: Skipa Lena, "Ele," is a 23-year-old American Quarter Horse who has been on the farm since 1988. Ele was born March 7, 1984 in Crestview, Florida at Huggins Quarter Horses. She lived there until we acquired her at the age of 4. Her sire is Florida champion Quarter Horse Skipin' and her dam is Lena Mesa. Ele has started many students in her seventeen year career, including her active role in the 4-H Horseback Riding for the Handicapped program. Ele will live out her years on the farm being fed carrots and treats by all of her students who have since moved on to other mounts and starting more young riders. In 2006, with the kids help, Ele was named to the QPA Honor Roll - she finished 7th in the NATION! Way to go guys! Ele is PROUDLY sponsored by Pulte Homes!!!
	Connor: Dodgen the Punchline, "Connor," is a 6 year-old American Quarter Horse who is new to LifeHorse in 2006. Connor was 4th in the state in Green Reiner I in 2005 and is finished 2nd in the state in Green Reiner II in 2006. He has NRHA earnings and has won several classes. However, is wasn't Connor's show record that brought him to LifeHorse, it was his personality. This sweet gelding is sure to be a favorite of the kids!

	Hunter: CL Blues Man "Hunter" was purchased from Sanctuary Stables in October of 2001. Hunter is by Coosa Lad and out of Tangled In blue (By Kay Cee Leaguer). Hunter is HYPP N/N. With Hunter's long line of wining tradition, he is sure to be a top Quarter Horse, but it is not his abilities IN the show ring that make him the heart and soul of the LifeHorse program, it is his attitude. Hunter is 7 years-old, and has a natural love for children. The kids love riding him, but they really love brushing him and feeding him carrots. Hunter is PROUDLY sponsored by Pulte Homes!!!



	Guapo: Elegante Destacado "Guapo" is still learning his way around the LifeHorse program. He is a 13 year-old Andalusian Gelding and he loves kisses from the kids!

He is also the Grand Champion Jr. Colt from the Regional Andalusian Horse Show in Lexington, Virginia (August 1997), and he won the Gold Medal Movement Award for 1994, Purebred, colts at the Festival of Horses in 1997. Born on May 10th, 1994, Guapo stands 16.2 hands and is remarkably like his Grand Champion, imported Sire, Bontio VIII, and his Grand-Sire, Grand Champion Stallion, Infante T. Both Stallions are proven sires and have many Championships to their credit, including Dressage, Exhibition, and even Western Pleasure.
