Meet Our Horses
Murphy
Meet Murphy, the fancy Tennessee Walker gelding! With a regal height of 15.3 HH and a dazzling age of 20, Murphy might as well be a four-legged Labrador! He lives for chest rubs and snacks, and has a special bond with his trusty pal, Pistol.
Tex
Introducing Tex – the coolest thug on the ranch! This charming 8-year-old pony is the perfect combination of cute and tough. You can’t help but snuggle up to him like a teddy bear, and he absolutely adores kids. He takes gentle care of our tiniest wranglers. And boy, can this little guy hustle! While he can only handle up to 50lbs on his back, he can pull a cart with a whopping 250lbs in it like a champ!
Flower
Meet Flower, the sassy and pint-sized mini skunk of our gang! At 7 years old, she’s got spunk and loves to bop around. Although she may be small, her personality is larger than life. And let’s not forget, she always has a chatty comment to make!
Pistol
Meet Pistol — The Golden Ham of the Ranch!
Born right here in 2012, Pistol is our handsome palomino paint with a big personality and even bigger charm. He may not be part of our lesson crew, but don’t tell him that — he thinks he runs the show!
Say his name and he comes trotting over like a superstar. Pistol LOVES the camera (and knows exactly how to pose), and he’s always up to a little mischief — whether it’s photobombing or sneakily nudging you for attention.
And let’s be honest… you didn’t come here for the horses. You came here to give Pistol some well-deserved butt scratches. He insists.
Cruella
Meet Cruella — our sassy little Appaloosa with a heart of gold!
Don’t let the name fool you — while she’s got plenty of attitude and a little diva flair, Cruella is one of our amazing PATH-certified ponies who lovingly takes care of our kids with special needs. She’s smart, spunky, and always ready for a cuddle (on her terms, of course). You might also spot her trotting into your backyard if you book a Wild Wind Ranch pony party — she loves to be the star of the show!
Skye
Say Howdy to Skye!
Standing tall at 16 hands, Skye is our gentle giant—a Mustang/Percheron mix with a heart just as big as his hooves! He’s one of our incredible PATH horses, and he’s a pro at taking care of our kids with patience, kindness, and a whole lot of love.
Skye isn’t just a superstar in the arena—he lives for trail rides and totally crushes the obstacle course. Give him a challenge, and he’ll take it on like the majestic beast he is (with maybe a snack break in between).
Whether it’s therapy work, a trail adventure, or just hanging with his bestie Sugarfoot, Skye brings calm, strength, and plenty of cuddles to the ranch.
Finnegan O’Flanagan
Meet Sir Finnegan O’Flanagan!
But most folks just call him Finn. This handsome sorrel gelding comes complete with a cool mustache and a whole lotta charm. He’s the pride of the pasture and the hero of our Toy Story parties, takin’ on the role of Bullseye like he was born for the big screen!
But Finn ain’t just a pretty face—he’s a true cowboy’s horse. Whether your kiddo’s dreamin’ of barrel racin’, learnin’ the ropes (literally), or takin’ PATH lessons, Finn’s got the skills to make it happen. He’s steady, sweet, and always ready to ride.

Now happily retired at Pink Pistol Ranch, Buggs enjoys the slower pace of trail rides and peaceful days. She soaks up every bit of love from the lesson kids when she visits us here at Wild Wind Ranch.
With her sweet spirit and strong heart, Buggs is a beautiful reminder that even after the spotlight fades, there’s still so much love, purpose, and adventure to be found. ❤️🌾
