The Appearance Coat Color:Grey Stable Color:Red Height:15.2hh
The Personality Personality:This beautiful Grey is very smart. He can get lip himself out of stall with outer stall latches, which caused Mike to wrap a bungee cord around the latch on the stall. He works to please, and very hard. Ike is pretty head strong, but it is no problem for Mike anymore. Very energetic, tons of stamina to spare. Caution Around:Water, and loud dogs.
The History Basic History:Ike was leased from another farm in Virginia when he was 6. He was brought there for breeding purposes, but was bought the same year. Mike fell in love with the stallion, who soon became a gelding for Mike. Ike was Mike's first real horse to work with. By the time Ike was 8, he was fully signed over to Mike. They have competed in 2 day Endurance classes, and some Competitive Trail Riding. After another year they began in Pleasure classes.

The Appearance Coat Color:Bay Stable Color:Lime Green Height:15.3hh
The Personality Personality:Smart. Hard Working. Level Headed. Spunky. Flashy. Caution Around:Tents, Tarps, and Plastic Bags
The History Basic History:Saff is actually the son of Ike. Mike helped raise the bay gelding from birth. Truthfully, he didn't show as much potential as his father, so was only used for breeding purposes until he was 4 and his stallion tendencies died down pretty quickly. Again, Mike got another gelding, just for himself. The duo was trained at the farm. One of the trainers tried to convince Mike to sell the gelding. Mike had to refuse, and they are just about as inseparable, as Mike and Ike.
