🦄 Caberneigh aka Red

RRA: Sunny Fox Farms of Wimberley, Texas

Age: 6-year-old American Quarter Horse, two years giving lessons

Favorite Treat: Anything put in front of him!

If he were a famous person, he would be: Robert Redford

⭐Red is a Jack of all trades. At 17hh, he is the gentlest giant whose essence makes everyone comfortable. Red teaches first-time beginners all the way up to IHSA Open riders. He can foxhunt over the weekend and then work kid camp during the week. He comes to the gate when called and is a total goof in the pasture. We are so grateful for Red's incredible brain and maturity. He truly loves his jobs and always has a happy expression in his face.
