Well, it all started with Charlie of course. He joined our family in 2000 with an eye toward the grandkids. And, while he took eagerly to this task, there was no doubt that he was seriously under-utilized. With his stable mates coming and going each day, attending to their own careers, he became increasingly frustrated, finally demanding our attention. Charles was wanting a job! With his trademark enthusiasm, Charlie learned how to pull a cart and with the arrival of Levi, branched out into teamwork. It wasn’t long before he suggested we expand into a full-fledged pony operation. Today, as CEO, Charlie oversees his stable of employees, diligently riding herd on his staff of 17. By following his careful hiring criteria, we have acquired a work force all of whom are versatile, well versed in all aspects of the business from educational programs, providing riding lessons, working with special needs kids, joining parades, parties and numerous other events, even to being able to take their turn on the carousel or pulling a wagon.
