Denali
2017 Arabian Gelding
Jaziz Halim x Fancy Ebony Lace
Denali is a 15.1 HH pure bred Arabian gelding. He is a stunningly beautiful, pure black horse that exhibits the best traits of his breed. He was born on our farm and imprinted at birth. We raised him using natural horsemanship methods with emphasis placed on good ground manners and training him to be soft and collected on the bit.
Denali is a pleasure to ride. Light and responsive, he is ready to do what his rider asks. He has the smoothest trot of all our horses. Denali is equally happy taking a relaxing trail ride, going over small jumps, or practicing dressage exercises.
Denali is gentle enough to be ridden by children, while still having the energy you would expect in an Arabian horse.
Max rider weight is 150 pounds
Fancy
2005 Arabian Mare
Haziz Halim x SH Spanish Lace
Fancy is a 14.3 HH, black Arabian Mare. She came to us as a yearling and our children grew up riding her. She is a very pretty horse with a beautiful, dappled, shiny coat. Around people she has a sweet temperament.
Fancy has a smooth gait with a big forward trot. She enjoys gaming events like pole bending, birangle, and barrel racing. Fancy also has training in dressage and trail riding. She is fast and agile.
We like to say that Fancy is a “fancy horse with a fancy attitude and lots of fancy moves”. She is relaxed and gentle for beginner riders, while also able to throw out a few challenges to riders ready for a more advanced horse. She can be slick and sly as she tries to outwit intermediate riders, but once you show her who is the boss, she is willing, energetic and fun to ride.
Fancy is a great horse for riders who are ready to move past the beginner level and want to be challenged but not intimidated.
Rider weight limit is 145 pounds
Glacier
2001 Arabian Gelding
Glacier is a 14.3 HH, grey Arabian Gelding. He is “The Old Man” at our barn, as he is now in his mid-20s.
Glacier is a favorite horse for adult beginner riders because of his easy-going nature. He has plenty of get-up-and-go and is able to give beginner riders confidence as they learn the walk, trot and canter.
Children can also ride Glacier, however very young children are better off getting their early lessons on Kasino, since Glacier prefers to work with older riders.
Due to his advanced age, we restrict Glacier to beginner riders. Intermediate and advanced riders should book their rides on our other horses.
Rider weight limit is 140 pounds.
Monaco
Gaited 2014 American Saddlebred Mare
Monaco came to Denali Natural Horsemanship in 2018 as a skinny rescue horse, so fearful she wouldn’t let anyone touch her. With love and patience, she has matured into a beautiful and amazing horse.
She is simply a treasure and we are so happy to be able to include her our riding program. Monaco is our “sports car” horse. She is sensitive, energetic and eager to please her riders.
Because she carries the “gaited” gene, she has an extra couple of gears. In addition to walk, trot, canter, she can also perform the slow and fast rack. Riders new to Monaco will find it challenging to master
these 5 gaits. Due to her highly sensitive nature, it can take several rides before she is able to connect with a new rider. However, with quite patience and a gentle hand, Monaco is able to bond with her riders and deliver an amazing riding experience.
If you are an intermediate to advanced rider, ready to be challenged with a new level of riding experience, Monaco is the horse for you.
Rider weight limit is 175 lbs.
