That's right, you're seeing spots! Geronimo is a 14.2 hand appaloosa pony who has come to us all the way from Cape May, New Jersey! Geronimo came form Sea Horse Farm, which is Brittany's farm that she grew up on. He has been a part of the program there since he was 4!

Tale As Old As Time​
Philippe is a new addition to Jacobs Run as of August 2025! He was adopted from Colby's Crew rescue in Charlottesville, VA. As a yearling Belgian colt, he is already over 16 hands. He is probably the silliest horse in the barn and loves loves loves attention! He will be broke to ride in the spring of 2026 and will eventually be integrated into the lesson program.
​
Change Your Fate​
​Merida is another horse we adopted from Colby's Crew! She is a yearling thoroughbred mare out of Early Voting. She is put together exceptionally well and will make a beautiful hunter one day. She also will be broke to ride in Spring 2026 and will become a member of the Jacobs Run lesson program! ​​​
My Malted Milk Ball​
Appropriately named Whopper, this little guy has quickly become a barn favorite! He will be a large pony in size when he is finished growing and is also adopted form Colby's Crew. He is suspected to be a Morgan Quarter horse cross and is very thickly built. He will also be broke to ride in the spring of 2026 to become a Jacobs Run lesson horse!
​
Ollie Oop​
Ollie, Oliver, the prince of princes.... he goes by many names. There is no doubt that Ollie is Brittany's favorite child. He is a 21 year old warmblood gelding out of Beezy Madden's Judgement. While Ollie makes the grumpiest faces on the planet, he does have a big heart (and even bigger stride) and is easily a favorite to ride once you no longer have to handle him on the ground.
