Meet the horses of Laughing Buck Farm
Chester
Horses don't get more kind than Chester. He is head of the herd -- strong and sweet -- and loves kids! Chester is a dunn quarter horse.

Cooper
COOPER is our very special UNICORN! This beautiful grey quarter horse gelding used to be a highly competitive jumper! He is now a lovely teacher and friend in our riding programs. You will see him helping kiddos learn how to ride or dressed up as a majestic unicorn for magical photoshoots!

Ladybug
LADYBUG has a mellow, easygoing personality. So many of our riders enjoy lessons on her. She loves to give kisses and be groomed! Often when grooming she will doze off because she is so relaxed with her rider. She is a lovely chestnut quarter horse.
|
Prince
PRINCE is our big, goofy, loveable halflinger gelding. He is so sweet and patient but will search you for snacks every chance he gets! He is a favorite amongst our adaptive riders, and he is also trained in driving!

Syria
SYRIA is our energetic Morgan. She is curious and loves to move out, but is very sensitive to the rider. She has stolen the hearts of many here at Laughing Buck Farm. She is now retired and enjoys her day in the pasture, bossing every body around.
|
Ginger
GINGER is our shy, sweet pony. Kids get to practice being quiet and patient with her and love her gentle nature. Ginger is grade and we guess her to be a shetland pony.

NELLY is a super cute bay pony. She was a showjumping pony before joining the team at LBF. She is picky about her riders and really connects with them. Sometimes she will even show you some of her fancy moves if she's in the mood!

CHIP a dark bay quarter horse gelding, who was a western lesson horse previously. He has incredibly smooth gaits and the sweetest disposition. He is owned by one of our instructors, Amy!

Lass
LASS is our therapy DONKEY! That's right, and you can hear her calling out to kids and everyone on the farm for love and affection. She is as sweet as they come and so patient. Lass is owned by our program director, Rachel K.

Zippy
ZIPPY is our super handsome paint gelding. He is currently in training for our adaptive riding program and with the help of some very talented young riders, has come a long way! His name is Zippy because when he goes, he GOES!

Horses we remember with love...
Crystal
CRYSTAL was an 11 year quarter horse mare. She was a Legends of Ranching horse that was trained at CSU and eventually made her way back to Fort Collins. She is very sweet and a favorite at the farm. She was adopted by some good friends and is now a family horse. Spoiled!

Clifford
CLIFFORD the big red horse was our gentle giant. With a heart of gold, he was gentle with beginning riders but loved to stretch his legs when he got a chance. RIP, Clifford.

Sassy
SASSAFRASS (SASSY!) was our superstar pony for about 10 years. She started as a pony for our boys and every farm kid fell in love with her. Calm and unflappable, she loved children and would stand patiently while being groomed. She took such good care of our beginning riders. RIP, Sassy.

Magic
MAGIC was Rosemary's heart horse. She was a palomino with a nose as soft as velvet. RIP, Magic.

Calvin
CALVIN was our superstar lessons horse. Gifted from our barn manager, Kat, he had lots of energy and is super sweet. He loved his job at Laughing Buck Farm and enjoyed hanging with his horse buddies at the farm. RIP, Calvin.
