Calamity Jane

After 2 months at RAMS, Jane went home to be a riding and driving pony.

Jane was gentled, received multiple trims, and got her groundwork foundation at RAMS.
Coyote
Coyote is a 15.1hh palomino gelding from High Rock HMA on the CA/NV border and a 2023 client horse.

River
River is a 14.2hh grey gelding from the Devil’s Garden HMA in California and a spring 2023 client horse.

In March 2023, after 5 months at RAMS, June found her person just an hour away from the farm! She is a sassy, opinionated, super smart, and sensible mare with tons of potential. She’s going to do a little bit of everything once she’s started under saddle, and we suspect she’ll make an amazing breed ambassador!
