The Special One & Spirited Underdog

Chloe’s story is one of grit and heart. Originally racing under the name "Steaming Anita," this petite Thoroughbred was considered an underdog on the track. After a short racing career and a stint in a Pennsylvania rescue, she found her forever home in 2006.

Don't let her size fool you—Chloe is a powerhouse of personality. Known for her "win" mentality and her curious, investigative nature, she has transformed from a rescue mare into a local jumping champion and a beloved barn fixture. Though she is now enjoying a well-earned retirement from the competitive jumping circuit, her fire remains as bright as ever enjoying a dressage-centric conditioning routine and trail ride explorations.

  • The Story

    A classic OTTB success story. Chloe proved that pedigree isn't everything, rising from rescue status to become a reigning champion in the jumper arena. She is the ultimate "Special One"—a horse that gives her absolute best to those who match her spirit.

  • The Vibe: Enthusiastic & Opinionated

    Chloe is always the first to see what you're up to. She is a "forward" ride who thrives with a partner; she’ll take you to the finish line if you're ready, but she expects her rider to be as committed as she is.

  • Best For

    Bold, non-timid riders. She is a brilliant "professor" for students who want to fine-tune their precision and cues with a horse that provides immediate, honest feedback.

Capabilities

Chloe’s diverse background reflects her "win" mentality and her evolution from a petite rescue into a multi-talented athlete. Throughout her career, she has been actively involved in Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation, proving herself as a formidable competitor in the local arena. Her versatility extends far beyond the ring, having persevered through Fox Hunting, Low Cross Country, and Trail and Beach riding, as well as navigating complex Obstacles and Mounted Games. While she is now retired from competitive jumping to prioritize her long-term comfort, she remains a spirited partner for Dressage, Pleasure, and refined flatwork, still possessing the enthusiasm to occasionally pop over a small log during a trail adventure.

Note: To ensure her continued comfort, Chloe is retired from competitive jumping and focuses on flatwork.

Dark Delight with Jenna
The Resilient Athlete & Flashy Competitor

Joining the family in 2006, Mocha serves as the "strength" of the barn—a testament to what determination and a great heart can achieve. Originally racing under the name "Mad About Fontaine," her career was cut short by a significant injury that led her to the same Pennsylvania rescue as Chloe. Despite a floating bone chip in her knee that required years of patient rehabilitation and veterinary care, Mocha’s spirit never wavered. Today, she is a multi-time local champion who actually seems to be getting sounder and stronger with every passing year.

    A former racehorse who overcame a career-ending injury to become a standout in the show ring. Mocha is a true survivor; she never let medical setbacks hinder her work ethic or her affectionate nature.

  • The Vibe: Passionate & Dedicated

    Mocha is a horse that truly loves having a job. She is determined, loving, and possesses a "can-do" attitude that inspires her riders. She is the ultimate example of a horse that gives 110% when she knows she is cared for.

  • Best For

    Riders looking for a fitness and strengthening partner. She is perfect for those who appreciate a horse with a serious work ethic and want a teammate that values a deep, mutual bond of trust.

Capabilities

Mocha’s athletic resume is as broad as it is impressive, proving that resilience pays off. She has been actively involved in Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation, where her flashy movement makes her a natural standout. Her experience extends to the great outdoors through Fox Hunting, Low Cross Country, and Trail and Beach riding, as well as navigating Obstacles and Mounted Games. Additionally, she is a skilled partner for Dressage, Pleasure, and Bareback or Bridleless work.
