Blossom 1985 Sorrel Quarter Horse Draft Cross Mare Blossom is one of the oldest horses participating in our program and has served our riders for fourteen years. Blossom is used in most of our classes for beginner and intermediate riders, and is also a participant in our annual Student Horse Show. At 13.2 hands tall, Blossom is known by volunteers and staff as the horse with the long, hairy, woolly coat. We help rid her of her coat once a year with a nice body clip that takes us several hours. Somewhat of a loner in the pasture, she always enjoys a chance to sunbathe.
