Our Featured Horse of the Month is Inga!
Our featured horse this month is Inga. This will mark our 3rd time featuring this special horse, as we officially announce her retirement. Inga will be remembered as a great therapeutic horse, an amazing partner for vaulting and a somewhat reluctant jumper.
It is only natural that we celebrate Inga and her great and varied service to Lancers over the past 10 years. Inga has to be one of our most notable horses. From her striking looks to her stubborn character she is as unique as they come. Inga’s character truly comes out when ridden in our more advanced rides. While she happily will walk along the end of a lead rope with any number of different riders on her back, it’s a whole different story when we ask her to really work or exercise. She is a very clever horse, and no amount of force or even proper technique can make Inga move if she’s not motivated. This being said, Inga picks her favorite people and makes them feel like a star, because for others she refuses to even try.
Inga had her most loyal fans amongst our Therapeutic riders. Here she showed us that she has a gentle, nurturing side for the beginner riders. Inga picked current Lancer rider Emma as one of her favorite people years ago and we are thrilled that Emma is able to adopt Inga and provide her with a forever retirement home. Inga will spend her retirement years in the Valley where we wish her many happy hacks, green pastures and lots of carrots. Emma has promised to keep us all updated with pictures!
