YOUR CART

Our Ponies:
We raise two types of rare breed ponies - Scottish Highland and Swedish Gotland. We also have Quarter Horses,  a Hanoverian, and a Standardbred boarding here.
Scottish Highland:
The Highlands is one of the largest pony breeds, just under the 14.2 HH limit for a pony. One of our Highlands weighs about 1200 lbs - now that’s a BIG pony! The Highlands were bred to do everything from riding to plowing fields and pulling wagons in the barren mountains of Scotland.
Swedish Gotland Ponies
The Gotlands are shorter (12-13HH) and weigh 500 to 700lbs, but are very strong, athletic, highly intelligent, and can easily carry a 180lbs adult, originating from Gotland Island off the coast of Sweden. In Sweden, the Gotlands are used for cart racing.

Justice - Hanoverian/Paint Mix

Picture
Justice is a 14 year old mare who is boarded here. Although she is still in training, kids as young as 5 years old can ride her as long as they are being led around by someone else. She is just as gentle and affectionate with people as she is fast!

Onyx - Gotland Pony

Picture

Abbie - Scottish Highland

Picture
 Abbie is a 11 year old mare. Soon to loose her dapples and get a full white coat, she is the daughter of Millie, another white Scottish highland. A popular mount for adults and teens.  Those willing to work and connect with her can get her to do pretty much anything. A mount for more experienced riders!

Doc - Quarter horse

Picture
 Doc is one of our oldest boarding horses. He is a 29 year-old quarter horse gelding. He is a very sweet and calm horse, but isnt used for much riding any more. Mainly relaxing in the paddock, he is only brought in for groundwork and light riding excersizes.

Rose - Scottish Highland

Onyx is among the favorites at Burnshirt. She is a very sweet and lovable pony who always takes care of the children who ride her. A great fit for kids that are learning how to ride!

Kermit - Gotland pony

Now this is a pony who gets the job done! Kermit is a 22 year old gelding that is also on the favorites list. Not only is he adorable and fluffy, but he can carry riders from their very first lesson to their first canter in an open field.

Jose - Gotland Pony

Picture
WARNING: This pony is a seriously great jumper! That’s Jose, a 17 year old gelding. Even though he can be stubborn at the canter, he is just as fearless as some of our bravest riders! A sound pony who is a great mount for intermediate riders, Jose is a friend to all.

Olivia - Gotland Pony
