Horse Gate Equestrian Center
Meet our horses
Chili was born at the Horse Gate property on 6/11/06. He is the foal of Pepper (pictured below) and Blarney. The dad has a deep sentimental value to Horse Gate. He is an energetic young man with a great personality, and is a Quater Appalossa. Chili has great blood lines and is sponsored by Sunset Feed and Supply in Homestead, Florida.
Clu is a four year old registered paint gelding and very social. Clu likes to think he is a lap dog and tries to get in your lap, despite his size. He is slowly learning this is not possible. He is an eye catcher by everyone that visits. The Johnson family of Jacksonville donated him to help the children and to teach the volunteers english and perhaps to learn the art of jumping. He is still looking for a sponsor.
Bugsy is a seven year-old Quarter Horse mare used in the ministry. Her previous owner no longer had the means to care for her when Glenna Waggoner, the Executive Director of Horse Gate, purchased her in January 2004. Bugsy enjoys taking hats off the heads of people as they visit our barn, as she seeks attention. Bugsy's is sponsored by Glenna, the Executive Director of Horse Gate.
Oliver (brown) & Rascal (spotted) are five year-old miniature donkies. Oliver was rescued and befriended Rascal, therefore, they were a package deal in September 2005. They are inseparable and roam the property adding a special tune. They are sponsored by Epperson Family.
Pepper is a seventeen year-old registered Quarter Horse mare. Lori and Luther Godowns of Georgia donated her in November 2004. They were downsizing and desired to donate Pepper to help the youth of South Florida. She is the mother of Chili, above. Pepper is still in need of a sponsor.
