The ranch's pride and joy, Mimi takes great pleasure of tramping around the property keeping all the newer mares in check. She was once the owners primary steed, and while her time as a mother has come and went, her snippy attitude never left. As her years get to her, she is ridden less and less, but is still Martin's favorite mare on the property. Now she majorly spends her days relaxing in the pastures and drinking from the lake surrounding what she calls home.

A tragic story old as time. Horse With No Name was found abandoned on a routine supply trip early into the ranch's existence. Her mother was likely killed or taken, and she was left to die, malnourished and slightly injured. She was taken in to heal, and thankfully after some time nursing with another mare, she was able to make a full recovery. She spent much of her time attached to the owner who saved her, and a name never really stuck to her. She was called Lil' Filly, Mustang, Sweetpea, every nickname under the sun, but as she grew, a name still hadnt been decided and so was just given a “proper name,” even if everyone sticks more to her various nicknames then what's on her halter.

Sarah is often described as the horse from hell. Destruction seems to follow wherever she goes, and some say she caused the fire at the Tall Trees house that just will not stop burning. She spends a lot of time at Grazing Steed, and we don't know why she seems to favor the area. She just showed up one day, with no real reason as to where she came from. But often, she disappears, coming and going as she pleases. We don't question where she goes, what she does, or how she does it. Nor do we claim responsibility for what she does when she isn't on the property.

A group of Kladrubers apart of a drill team that put on a show in October of 2023. Many members of the team were kept at the ranches that sponsored them or sold, but those tracked down ended up at Grazing Steed to get the retirement and care they deserve from their intense show days.

Rhiow

Rhiow was one of the first drill horses Grazing Steed acquired for its retirement program. She was quite the handful in and out the arena, enjoying to graze and munch away rather then partake in the actual drill practices. The easiest way to get her to listen and actually do her routines was slipping her a cookie or two. And if you didn't give her a snack during practice, she got quite the attitude. She has been reported attempting to throw her rider for forgetting her bag of goodies at home that day.
This mare now spends her days making her caretakers lives a story for the dinner table. She once reportedly snuck a whole bucket of carrots into her stall to snack on when a stable hand wasn't looking. How she managed to sneak said bucket, we still do not know.

Snoop Dog's bio was written by Lolcat, his rider. Sold to Grazing Steed by Massive Progress Riding School

Snoop Dog

Snoop Dogg is a 13 year old Kladruber stallion! Used in the 2023 October Rift Drill Team, this stallion was very relaxed most days, 'He rolls the best weed cause' he got it goin on'! He was placed in front of another stud during drill, and when asked why he kept tripping said stud, he said "I'm a gangster, but y'all knew that. Da Big Boss Dogg, yeah, I had to do that."
While he didn't like studs he fo shizzle had the rizzle! He was a ladys man and would behave very calmly around them! Even retired, he still attempts to make the ladies in the other pastures swoon and sigh over him.

Mercedes

Definetely one of the more unexpected members of the team, Mercedes never cared for teamwork. She was a one horse show pony and enjoyed killing it at dressage tournaments day in and day out. She entered and was chosen for the drill team with her riders interest in mind, but she hated every second of not being a lead. She constantly pushed her way around and tried to show up other horses. Thankfully her rider got her under control for the show, even if she tried her best to pull more of her shenanigans.
During her retirement, she is often caught prancing around the paddock and showing off, especially if anyone happens to pay any of the other retired team even a little attention.

King

King's Warrior, nicknamed King, was born to be a show horse. From his youth, he always had his head held high and took graceful steps everywhere he went. He is highly disciplined and once he enters the arena, he was one of the best horses on any drill team, following each command to a tea. During the October drill, his rival, Snoop Dog, was placed in front of him in line, and often would slow down and attempt to trip or mess up King's rhythm. Thankfully, Snoop didn't do so during the show, but every step back between performances, the horses starred and angrily nickered at each other.Even if the two stallions sometime nip one another, they do enjoy their retirement. They are caught sometimes attempting to show one another up to prove who was the better lead.

Wild Raven

Wild Raven, nicknamed Wild, is a remarkable horse with excellent breeding. Before his time as a drill horse, he had shown great protentional as a police steed and rarely ever snipped at folk if they weren't his rider. He had an intimidating attitude, but great form and listened to commands well. This allowed him to be chosen for the team.
Sadly, Wild Raven's talent was never truly seen, as his rider never showed and he became a backup for the team. Despite never getting a moment in the spotlight, he gets to retire with his old buddies here. He still tries to show off every now and then to prove he deserved to make the team.

Duke's biography was written by Anisa Majors, who donated him to Grazing Steed to retire."I received Duke through a gracious person who didn't have enough time for him as he was very high energy. Come to find out.. this horse would be my best friend."

"Duke, aka 'Duke of Hastings', is a very speedy and high energy stallion. He loves anything running but also knows some dressage moves. He is mainly used for western style competition events and has had very good placings, if not winnings. He won the audition for the Sleepy Europeans Competition Team. He loves getting carrots at all times of the day and will honestly work himself to exhaustion for you. He takes a very confident, sturdy handed and balanced rider to get him to excel at this top best performance. When you compete with him.. all you have to do is give him a look at objective and he kicks into mode. Do not get me wrong though.. he loves being lazy when giving the chance and will gladly graze and/or sleep his heart away."

Tielo was purchased from The Peaceful Kelpie, where he served as both a stud and showjumping horse, winning the ranch many medals in his hay-day. Around the age of 6, he suffered an accident on the last jump during a trail run for a competition. He was taken home to TPK's veterinary clinic, where it was discovered Tielo badly injured his leg. He thankfully made a full recovery, but was advised to never jump in competitions again. It was here that Grazing Steed offered to take him into their care in exchange for a broodmare, and so Tielo arrived and began his years at stud. He quickly became a favorite by Lauren Smith, the head of the stud farm, with his gorgeous coat and gentle personality.

Around his 12th birthday, we came in contact with Patch of Heaven, another breeding facility that offered Grazing Steed a young stallion Dutch Warmblood of similar coat and color. It was with this arrival that it was decided to retire Tielo, and let him enjoy his years with the rest of the retirees without needing to work and stay cooped up in a stall most days. This of course doesn't mean he is going away. As now he will be in a pasture at the front of the farm, showing off to clients new and old one of the greatest stud's to ever reside at Grazing Steed.

"When Tielo arrived here, he reminded me a lot of my late husband. A gentle giant who aimed for greatness, and showed the world what he was truly made of. I will miss the little nickers he would made as I approached his stall with his favorite treat. He truly is one of a kind."- Lauren Smith, his caretaker

This pair of Missouri Fox Trotter's came to Grazing Steed after they served in the Emo Drill back in April of 2024. This duo is definitely one of a kind, with both their personalities clashing in a way that we cannot imagine them being apart. They served their riders well, and now enjoy their retirement on our facility.

Paimon

Paimon was a back lead during his time in the Emo Drill, where he stayed calm and collected during his performance. He loved keeping everyone in line and obeyed every command given to him during practice. After the performance, he spent a few days back home before Lauren Smith, Grazing Steeds retirement organizer, came to take him to the facility. He was the first to arrive of the duo, and Paimon now spends his days at Grazing Steed with Cash, and the other drill horses from shows before and after his time. Of the Emo Duo, he is the more calm pair, and he is often found grazing in the back of the pasture unless called up to the fence, or if he has to run to escape Cash's more energetic personality.

Cash

Cash is quite possibly the craziest horse ever to come retire at Grazing Steed, being the talk of the pasture and always causing trouble. Be it nipping ears, throwing hay on the ground, knocking over troughs, he lives for chaos. During his time on the team, he struggled to pay much attention and listen to commands. It was a miracle he managed to stay on the team and stay stable enough to stay around on drill day.
However, attempts have been made to rehouse him, either to a different pasture or another farm. All attempts have failed as Paimon, his partner from the emo drill, stops any kind of action to take Cash away, or is so mentally upset we have to return him for the safety of both horses.

Madam Silver Spoon (nickname Little Spoons) is a Dapple Grey, Lusitano Mare. She is 3 years of age, measuring at 15.2 hands and weighing on average 1,050 lbs.She was trained in dressage and its disciplines by Crypt Keeper, of From The Crypt stables.

Madam Silver Spoon is a gentle mare with an endearing personality. She is extremely friendly to new folk, and loves attention. Gently petting her dappled fur is a quick way to get on this mares good side, especially if you scratch behind her ear, that's her absolute favorite.Her lineage consists of purebred Lusitano's. Her sire, Little Ladle, is a champion of the dressage circuit, winning his ranch countless ribbons before his stud retirement. Her dam, Madam Marble, also saw her fair share of the ring, but was quickly sold off to broodmare after an incident with the dressage ring border, and her rider being injured from the fall. Spoons was born and bred to tiptoe in the ring. And she shows much potential to take herself and her ranch far.
