“Don’t count the miles. Count the memories you’re making along the way”

NF Hana
PRR Two Tone Tony

Hana loves to make clones of herself and Tony is no exception. He has the curliest mane and is curious about people while not pushy.

I love the candid shots of the horses just being themselves and showing their personalities.

Thank you to for capturing such beautiful moments.

Ponderosa Ridge Ranch is proud to announce a new collaboration with Davis Creek Ranch as they begin building their Gypsy Cob breeding program.

Having strong, knowledgeable programs helps strengthen the future of the breed, and we are honored to provide mentorship and guidance as Davis Creek Ranch develops their vision. Their passion for quality horses, responsible breeding, and exceptional care makes this an exciting journey to be a part of.

We look forward to supporting them as their program grows and are excited to see what the future holds for Davis Creek Ranch and their horses.

SD Tornado will make an excellent first stallion to their program with his world wide presence and impeccable manners, we will miss him dearly as he has grown a special spot in my heart but I know he will have the best care and make me proud.

Please join us in welcoming them to the Gypsy Cob community.

✨PRR Adair’s Cobalt Legend ✨

Legend is striking in his overall presence and athleticism. At only 2 years old he is heavy in bone and hair. His feather is ridiculous and curly just like his mom, SD Emily Rose.

Emily consistently throws outstanding offspring and Legend is a prime example. The movement, conformation and overall temperament is what I strive for in my program.

Legend is trying his hand out at being a stallion prospect and already has had ground training and will be heading off to a trainer who I trust with my stallions. He will then come back for next spring to learn to breed and continue his riding. If he proves himself he will then follow Hudson down to California to have his own Show Debut.

It takes a village to make a stallion who is proven and checks all the boxes. I am fortune to have many other outsources who know their stuff and are trustworthy.

Legend is a blue roan with a red gene and I know he will make me proud. Just another exciting step-stone at Ponderosa.

🌻NF Silver Lace

Lace is heavy in foal to the stunning Stallion, Gavin, owned by and we are so thrilled to see what she’s cooking up.
I purchased a filly who you may remember, Cinder, a couple years ago.

Lace has quickly made me fall for her with her sweet, easy going temperament and how well she picked up where she left off under saddle after years prior.

Huge shoutout to Dawn from for the beautiful photos and the nice visit. Always a pleasure seeing you.
