While owner/trainer Nina Fisher adopts and takes in numerous surrendered or “adopted” horses, she unfortunately can’t take in every horse out there, although in her heart, she wishes it was that simple and that she could. However, she must scrutinize every animal and go on the basis of what horse best fits into her lesson program based on multiple factors such as personality, a sound mind and good health. So, let’s meet them!

“Mickey“:  “Born February 10, 2013, Mickey is an 11 year old bay gelding. Mickey came to SSF in 2016 when he was 3 years old to be the farm’s project pony. Nina chose him so senior riders could use the knowledge and skills they learned from her to break and train him. After many months of training, he transformed from a pony who wanted nothing to do with humans to a sweet little guy who will follow you around like a puppy dog. At 12’2” hands, he is the smallest pony at the farm, but shhhh, he doesn’t know that! He is a nice mover who has no problem running the jump course or keeping up with all the big boys!
