Betty Boop
Betty is a dark bay Welsh Mare with chrome all around with a blaze that runs under her chin and back towards her throat and a belly patch! She came to Delaney Stables when she was a 1 yo in 2010 then was started slowly on the lunge before learning to long lines. She is one of Jill’s favorite fun rides (bareback of course!) but her primary job is teaching people all sorts of things from learning to ride to how to braid.
Connie
Connie is a 2018 Draft cross mare. She has a wonderfully curious personality and is a joy to work with. She showed at GMHA in the fall of 2021 as a three year old winning her class! After a winter off she went back to showing and started her career as a lesson horse.

Currently he looks to be maturing into a Suffolk Punch or Suffolk Punch cross.
