A Quarter horse gelding from Colorado
Tate
We are excited to introduce a new horse to our herd. Tate is a 19 yo Quarter horse gelding from Whitewater, Colorado. Before he came to Promise Ranch, Tate was already a therapy horse. We are already in love with Tate and hope he will get many fans here.

A speckled paint gelding
Hidalgo
Hidalgo is a speckled paint gelding about 12 yrs old. He comes from the northern Wyoming mountains where he enjoyed backcountry wilderness trail rides daily but was getting too tired for the demanding lifestyle. With Hidalgo’s love of people, and being a great ponying horse for kids to ride, his family thought Promise Ranch might be a great environment for a needed vacation and to get some special attention. Hidalgo’s owner is Alicia Engebretson, volunteer and former Promise Ranch Board Secretary.

An American Quarter Horse
TJ
Please welcome TJ to the Promise Ranch herd. TJ (KR No Complaints) is an American Quarter Horse. He is by Tejons Peppy Doc out of Playing With Charm and is a Valentine’s Day baby born 2/14/06. He has earned his American Quarter Horse Association Register of Merit in Reining, Ranch Riding and Working Cow Horse Boxing. He has had numerous achievements including 2015 National Reserve Champion in the American Stock Horse Association as well as the $1000 Non Pro Limited North Central Region champion and National Third place finisher in the National Reined Cow Horse Association.
TJ is still in training but we love him already for his kind and beautiful soul. We are so happy that he is part of our herd now.

We are very excited that another sweet pony has joined our herd. Please welcome Link to Promise Ranch. Link is an 11 year old, cremello pony gelding and a retiree from Annie Project partner, Deer Valley Ranch. He is settling in so well and is a real cuddle bug. He already successfully participated in his first classes and we can’t wait to see how he further develops. We are definitely in love with him already!

Mia
Mia is a retired western pleasure and trail horse. She competed on the Colorado Pinto show circuit with her owner. She is a morgan arabian cross and is 25 years old. She is very sweet and really enjoys the lessons. She is a good confidence builder for her riders since she takes care of them and gives the rider what they need.

A former Carriage Horse
Velvet
Velvet is a beautiful 17-year-old Grade with double facial whorls, an air of mystique, a past career as a carriage horse.. She is a recent adoption from Harmony Equine Center and was a part of the Right Horse Initiative which is a mission to improve the lives of horses in transition and increase horse adoption in the United States. We are grateful to Harmony Equine Center for helping us to find Velvet, who is described as a saint. Most impressive upon her evaluation is her attentiveness to her rider!
