Meet our School Horses

Individuals of all ages and skill levels who do not own their own horses can take lessons with Hidden View Farm’s friendly school horses

Our school horses are like family to us and we care for them as such.


We do not overwork our horses (typically just one lesson/day) and it’s important that they get a day off each week. Each horse has his/her unique personality and when you become a rider at HVF, you will quickly learn how to manage and care for each horse individually. 

  • Buttercup

    Palomino Quarter horse/Mountain horse. “Butter” has energy to spare and loves to strut her stuff in the arena and out on the trails. She is referred to as the “Barn Mother” because of her lovely, quiet temperament in and around the barn - she’ll stand quiet forever and let the smallest child pet her ! Butter is the embodiment of a Unicorn!

  • Scotch

    Buckskin, quarter horse mare - about 15 hands. Scotch is the perfect school horse because of her size and her awesome temperament. She is kind, quiet, knows her job very well and has the smoothest trot you can imagine.

  • Rosie

    Small Welch pony. She is great for small riders of all levels as she has a lot of get-up-and-go and is an awesome jumper. However she is also perfect for our young beginners.

  • Shae

    TB mare - about 16hands. Lovey Hunter Mare and a lovely jumper.

  • Paddington Bear

    Large, adorable pony who is great for riders of all skill levels. He is built like a small tank so he can handle teens and adults.

  • Q

    Medium Pony for the advanced rider who enjoys a spirited (very safe), brisk ride on a pony who can jump to the moon!

  • Jazzy

    Sweet, easy going, semi-retired Quarter Horse gelding. He has given many lessons in his life, and his jumping days may be behind him, so as he eases into this next chapter in his life he will focus on helping beginners learn to be comfortable and balanced on horse back.
