TIFFANY 28 year old arab/welch pony. Tif was the state champion pony many times with her young owner, Forest.  After being outgrown, she became a lesson pony, teaching young riders the ropes and continuing to be champion year after year.  Now she is using her knowledge  and wisdom to teach 'big kids' about themselves.  Here at New Boston Farm (NBF) we regard Tif as our queen and leader!

 

LILY Looking beautiful just standing there or jumping around a course, this champion registered Welch pony newly arrived from CT is a gem.  Although quiet and cooperative, Lily has a lot to say to those who speak her language.

 

 

RED MAN Red has seen it all! After racing in Florida, this thoroughbred gelding spiraled down in a series of bad homes, topped off by a trailer accident and broken bones. A kind hearted horsewoman bought him, somehow seeing potential in this very thin, sick, lame horse. He was shipped to NBF in Maine where he began his recovery and training program. Looking at him now, sound, handsome,happy, jumping and winning at shows, it is hard to believe this is the same horse.

 

PERFECT LEIGH 8 year old welch/thoroughbred. Leigh is what we call a fancy pony. With her big step and animated demeanor she is very eye catching. She was competed this year by a 9 year old girl, and was forth place in the state of Maine in her division. No problem interacting with Leigh, you will not be ignored!

 

 

SUNDAY 6 year old quarterhorse/welch. Sunday had her first show season this year, learned how to get onto a trailer, how to behave at a show, jump the jumps and wait around. Now she is ready to be promoted to EAL horse!

 

 

 

PILGRIM Welch/Thoroughbred gelding. Steady and reliable Pilgrim was Maine State Champion in two divisions for 2007, one for each of his young owner/riders. This handsome boy is one of our barn favorites and much loved.

 

 

OUIJA Ouija was a western reining horse, later a jumper, and after coming to NBF, he competed as a hunter and equitation horse. Sensitive, intelligent, and friendly, his favorite activity is bowing for carrots.

 

 

 

NOELLE  This beautiful black bay thoroughbred hails from NY state where she was a big time show hunter in her younger days. After working in a show barn in MA, Noelle came to Maine to  partner with a young rider who has since outgrown her.  Noelle now teaches beginner to intermediate riders what it is all about. She is 20 years old. Ask  her anything....she knows it all!
