L.B. Dartmouth was lucky enough to have LB ("Little Bay")donated at the age of 10. He was a terrific Dutch Warmblood gelding who could do it all. He foxhunted, showed in local jumpers, events, dressage and at IHSA nationals (shown here). LB was retired to a local farm when he was in his twenties and was later put down. |

Whippoorwill Deja Vu Dartmouth acquired DJ, a registered Morgan, in the 90's. He came from a showing and foxhunting background and continued on as a favorite for the intermediate riders. He was a wonderful jumper and won many local jumper shows. DJ was retired to a local farm a few years ago. Soon after DJ arrived, so did his part brother Ben. Ben didn't take to being a school horse as well as DJ. He became a boarder with Sue Crafts (Jenks) and is still living in the Upper Valley as a trail horse. |

Pickle Pickle ("Picaro") was an event horse who won training level horse of the year before joining the lesson string. He was a super dressage horse who could do a 20m circle in his sleep. He was a favorite draw for the IHSA shows as he was also an easy jumper. |
 |
Sandy Sandy came to Dartmouth from the same camp as Peter. She was a great beginner horse and taught many camp kids the basics. She was hard to tell apart from another beginner favorite, Candy. |
 |
Linus Linus was an upper-level Dressage horse for many years and found a new calling with us as a Hunter! Linus was as sweet and cuddly as his name, even though he's 17.2 hands! Linus is living a life of leisure as a trail horse in VT! |

Thaddy Thaddy("Heart of Gold") came to Dartmouth in 2006 and was a barn favorite until his retirement in 2011! Thaddy was a star at all our horse shows, and even travelled to Zones and the IHSA National Championships and was the mount of numerous National Champions! |
 |
Travis Travis was a favorite in our Beginner/Novice string due to his super comfy canter. He's now teaching lots of children to ride at Seery Hill in Andover, NH. |

Finn
Finn was donated in 2008 and was a wonderful addition to our school horses. Finn was quirky, but lovable, and was a favorite among the riders here at Dartmouth Riding Center. Finn was a school horse through summer 2011 but had to be put down here at the farm due to health issues. |
