The Team
Our Horses and Guides
Chloe Ras
CEO/Trail Guide
An avid horsewoman, Chloe has been riding and taking care of horses since the age of 4, and couldn't imagine doing anything else! Her experience includes barn management, equine rehabilitation, and training, with a passion for dressage and natural horsemanship. She is the main trail guide for the farm, and usually the first face you will see when you pull up.
David Ras
Groundskeeper
A Navy veteran turned AI engineer, David is making his first foray into the amazing world of horses. He keeps our farm looking beautiful and everyone laughing! His experience includes electrical engineering, AI and cloud support for Google, and a lifetime of technical experience. He is our secondary trail guide, but you will often see him landscaping or enjoying a quiet moment with the horses.
Jarred
Bookkeeper/Groom
Despite growing up in Kentucky, Jarred's love for horses didn't develop until he came out to the farm. A Navy veteran, he enjoyed living all over the country before returning to his roots. He helps Chloe keep the farm running, assisting with all projects and horse care. Arguably the most important service he provides for the farm is bookkeeping, which he very much enjoys as a full-time accountant. Guests will often see him as we prepare to set out, and he is always waiting for us at the end with a smile and a refreshing snack.
Shuree
Trail Horse
Shuree is a Thoroughbred/Warmblood cross mare, standing at 15.3 hands. She was bred by Chloe's late mother, and has been with Chloe for her entire life. At 21 years old, she is enjoying the slower pace of life on the trail and is best suited for beginners or timid riders. Her dressage experience makes her an easy horse to ride and steer, and her sweet and quiet demeanor makes her a favorite wherever she goes.
Tucker
Trail Horse
Tucker is an 11 year old off-the-track Thoroughbred gelding, standing 16.1 hands. He raced 37 times, retiring from racing at the age of 6, before beginning his post-racing career as a trail horse. He is our main guide horse, and has a goofy, yet lovable personality that will keep you smiling the entire time.
Ringo
Trail Horse
Ringo is a 9 year old Quarter Horse gelding, standing 15.2 hands. His prior experience includes roping, working cows, and being an all-around ranch horse. His kind and level-headed demeanor makes him suitable for beginners and his inquisitive expression will have your heart melting.
Giada
Trail Horse
Giada is a 19 year old Warmblood mare, standing 16.1 hands. She has been in the family her entire life, but has spent the past few years with a family friend, dabbling in jumping and dressage. Giada has a sweet and sassy personality and enjoys all kinds of treats. Sadly, residual neurological complications resulting from a previous illness has left her unable to be ridden, so she provides companionship for our other horses.
Sophie
Trail Horse
Sophie is a 5 year old off-the-track Thoroughbred mare, standing 16.2 hands. She came from a retired racehorse adoption organization close to our hearts, after retiring from racing following one unimpressive start. She is still learning how to be a trail horse, and is not currently available to guests, but you will still see her out and about! Her cuddly, sweet nature makes her a joy to be around and she gives the best hugs.
