Our Horses

Fancy

Kentucky Mountain Horse

The horse for whom our farm is named, Fancy is fine leading a ride or riding anywhere in the group. A retired broodmare, Fancy takes a motherly approach to riding and is “kid friendly” and rides adults as well.

Tootsie the horse at Fancy Forest Farm

Tootsie

Tennessee Walking Horse

Known to us as the “boss mare” tootsie is a super fun horse—forward yet responsive—Tootsie does great with beginners and experienced riders alike.

Kinsley the Horse at Fancy Forest Farm

Kinsley

Tennessee Walker

Kinsley is a medium speed mare and a very sweet horse. She has carried many first time riders and multiple special-needs riders.

Diamond

Paso Fino

This gelding has been featured in a Greta Van Fleet music video called “Meeting the Master.” He rides with the confidence of a celebrity and is a favorite of some of our long-time customers.

Starter

Rocky Mountain Horse

Starter is our youngest yet slowest customer horse. He is a favorite of dads, kids and inexperienced riders. If he were a person, he’d live in Jamaica, hanging out on the beach listening to Bob Marley.

Traveller

Tennessee Walker/Rocky Mountain cross

A very quiet, sweet boy. He takes very good care of adults with limited riding experience.

Texas

Spotted Saddle horse

The newest addition to our herd—he’s an excellent experienced trail horse who is small, stocky and very sure footed.

Stryker

Spotted Saddle horse

Stryker is our lead horse and rides exclusively with Kimberely—he has guided many rides with great athleticism and spirit! He knows there is more to life than being really, really ridiculously good looking.

Charlie Brown

Tennessee Walker

Charlie is an alternate lead/end horse—he is a very handsome, sweet, sensitive and athletic gelding and is very experienced on the trail.

Ace

Mountain Horse

As one of our younger horses, Ace works on the trails frequently. Low and slow, Ace knows his job, which is following the next horse!

Yoakam

Spotted Saddle Horse

When Yoakam first came to us, he battled fiercely with asthma. Now on medication and under control, he’s building up his lung capacity and a fan club—he’s a great ride!

Cash

Mule (Horse + Donkey)

Cash is a highly experienced guide mule. If you ride with us on the weekends, you’ll likely see Cash leading your group! Cash is a celebrity and has starred in two Tyler Childers music videos.

RETIRED HORSES

At Fancy Forest Farm, we are committed to providing an excellent trail riding experience for our customers. We are also committed to providing an excellent retirement for horses that aren’t part of the trail riding herd.

Caleb

Quarter/Draft Cross

We rescued Caleb from a “Kill Pen” not long after we acquired Fancy as our first horse in 2019—after increasing his weight by several hundred pounds, he enjoyed his retirement at FFF.

Trooper

Tennessee Walker

We acquired Trooper to retire at FFF in 2020 following a storied career as a trail horse. We estimate he participated in well over 1,000 rides, and he had a great retirement bossing around the other geldings through the end of his life.

Tom

Quarter horse

Tom joined us immediately following Trooper’s death to become a pasture buddy for Caleb. Having now outlived Caleb, Tom hangs out with his buddy Cash the mule.
