Our featured horse of the month for December is Bear!

Bear came to Lancers around the time of Queen Elizabeth's passing, so we gave him the show name Paddington, and call him Bear around the barn. Bear is 5 years old and is currently the youngest member of the Horses of Halifax.

Bear is on OTTB (off-the-track-thoroughbred), whose racing career was cut short due to an injury. He has since recovered, and is a beautiful, good minded horse who enjoys city life and is adjusting to being a lesson horse. He has a lot to learn, but also a lot to teach our riders as he is very sensitive, yet powerful. Our more experienced riders will work with him during his younger years until he is ready to teach more novice riders as well.

In the short time he has been here Bear has already participated in a jumping clinic and our Halloween Fun Show. Everyone seems to fall in love with Bear when they see him. He is very handsome, and loves to stick his tongue out to the side while he is being ridden.

Welcome to the herd, Bear!
