Meet Pete.. who is now a very special part our family!
Everest-aka “Super Pete”-19yr old TB Gelding
Pete originally began he career as a race horse. Over the years he transitioned owners and finally found his place in the hunter ring. Luckily Pete ended up in Cleveland, OH with trainer Liz Scoville of ESF Inc. Pete was then purchased by one of Liz’s customers as a Children’s hunter. He was very successful in the Children’s Hunter division showing in AA shows over OH, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New York and
Pennsylvania. Pete’s then owner was moving up to the Junior Division and Pete was leased out to me as an Adult Amateur Hunter. Pete and I began a very successful and rewarding career in the Adult Hunter Division. Every horse show that we attended Pete would receive several compliments on how beautiful and elegant he is! It was after several months of our partnership that I had the opportunity to purchase
Pete. We trained under the guidance of Liz Scoville and continued showing at the AA shows. Pete was stabled in OH as a retired horse and loved his new job of
eating grass and playing with his friends. Although with him getting older the winters were getting harder on him. On great fortune I was informed of this fabulous horse farm in VA with tons of green pastures

Since Pete lost his best friend Fawn, we have loved him through his mourning time. Now with his new friends "Bo & Prissy" Pete is doing great and loves to pal around with them. He lost one friend, but was given two new ones!
Pete is 20, Bo is 24 and Prissy is a beautiful 28 yrs old!! |

Meet Penny Lane - aka "Fawn"
Fawn and Pete had become best of friends in the past few years, and we have been blessed to have them come here to our farm and join our family.
In Fawn's life time, she was a very successful show horse for 7 years traveling all over the country. Then spent 6 years being a mom "brood mare" and she raised 4 babies.
Now for the last 10 years she has been retired, and simply enjoys eating grass and being a horse of leisure!

Willow..as lovely as her name!
|
|
Dressage in training
|
Willow is a ten year old off-the-track beautiful Thoroughbred mare from Massachusetts who has fox hunted, evented, and done dressage. Willow has been with her owner Jayne since 2006. In 2012 Jayne made the decision to retire Willow after she was diagnosed with kissing spine and treatments didn't make a significant improvement. With the well-being and comfort of the horse foremost, Willow will "permanently vacation" at the beautiful Five Springs Farm under the daily care and love of the Mayos.
Willow has been a trusted companion, is smart and very much a horse's horse ~ as she loves being in the company of other equines large and small. She makes friends equally well with cats, dogs, chickens and.... goats. She is independent, can be coy, but welcomes attention and pampering; which she will get a steady supply of here at Five Springs.
