Team Smokey- August 6, 2025 - Update!

From trainer Olivia Van Beek:

Smokey update! We are only a little over 2 weeks away from the showdown! Smokey has all of the basics down and now just needs more miles and experience. Here is a list of his current skill set:
 
✅lunging and starting to free lunge
✅stands tied and stands for farrier and baths
✅ground ties
✅hobble trained
✅stands for mounting
✅wtl both directions
✅amazing stop
✅goes over obstacles
 
Smokey is going to make an amazing horse for an experienced youth or smaller adult, he would be an amazing 4h or fun night pony. He rides very soft and moves off your seat. Not currently a beginner pony but with more work and experience he could be! Get your adoption applications on to come see him before the showdown!!
