Horses

The horses of 180 Ranch are gentle and enjoy their jobs. Whether you’re a beginner rider or seasoned equestrian, they can carry you to your goals. Read on to learn more about our horses:

Tuff

Born around 2012-2013, Tuff is the cutest Haflinger draft pony. Ranch owners Trent and Christy Murry bought him as a weanling in Nebraska and have trained him themselves. He has carried Christy on trails, drug calves to the branding fire, won the blue ribbon in a halter class, and even pulled friends around in the snow. He is friendly, intelligent and patient with new riders. Tuff quickly becomes a favorite with everyone who meets him.


TQ

Te Quiero CD–or TQ–is a semi-retired AQHA cutting mare. Born in May 28, 2004, she is a quick, athletic mare with fancy “buttons,” but she is also quiet enough for the beginner rider. Since adopting her in 2022, the Murrys have fallen in love with her. They are excited to share her with their students.


MayStar “May”

MayStar is a 2004 Missouri Fox Trotter mare we adopted from a sister facility in the area. She is quiet, never in a hurry, and patient with her riders. Her favorite things are cookies, neck scratches, and chomping on hay with her herd mates.
