CASPIAN

Caspian is a Percheron-Thoroughbred gelding. Karin bought him as a 5 year old and has had him for 3 years now. He is mainly ridden dressage and used for vaulting, but his favorite thing to do is going on a trail ride. He is 17.2 hands tall and "the king" of the barn. Caspian is now available for lease >

CHARLEY

Charley is a 12-year old registered Morgan that stands 15'1 hands tall. He was Karin's first horse and got A Vaulting Connection started. He serves primarily as our therapy and vaulting horse. He enjoys getting all the attention and loves every single apple and carrot he receives from the kids! At the right, cross training for Charley, coach and vaulters

ROMEO

Romeo is a fun pony with the bluest eyes you've ever seen! He is used for runt rides as well as birthday parties and other special events. He has quite the character, that's for sure.

VINNIE

Vinnie is a very friendly guy. He whinnies all the time and likes it when he is groomed and petted. He is a well trained event horse, always eager to please with his forward gaits. The riders and the vaulting team enjoy his smooth canter and boundless energy.

SNOOPY

Snoopy is a little black and white pony. He loves being around kids. His specialty is runt rides and birthday parties. he will even come to your house for your birthday!

GOLDIE

Goldie is a quarter horse mare with a beautiful Palomino coloring. She is 8 years old and loves being used for lessons as well as performing in the show ring. She is very laid back and gentle, but if you know how to push her button she is REALLY FAST!

RAMBO

Rambo is a sweet and gentle guy. He is a tall pony and loves carrying beginners as well as advanced riders. Rambo is awesome for trail rides, jumping, and lessons for walk, trot and canter. He earned some nice ribbons at the 4H Kent County Youth Fair last year.

AVENIR

Avenir is a big Percheron paint cross. Even though he stands 17 hands tall, don't let him intimidate you; in reality he is just like a big, loving teddy bear. Avenir is a great schooling horse, and is learning the ropes to vaulting. He has a great disposition and has very smooth comfortable gates, perfect for vaulting. He is so patient and is always wanting to please us. Avenir has a lot experience on trail rides and even heavier weights don't bother him at all.
