Peppe

Put a little Pep in your step—because Peppe is truly one of a kind. In a world where most horses shine in just one discipline, Pep stands out by excelling in many. He confidently moves between jumpers, hunters, barrel racing, and cross-country with an ease that is rare and remarkable. What makes him extraordinary is not just his talent, but his incredible ability to switch gears. Pep has an “on and off” switch like no other—focused and powerful when it’s time to perform, yet calm, patient, and gentle when it’s time to teach.
Pep is the definition of a perfect lesson horse. He is safe and steady on the cross ties, making brushing and saddling a stress-free experience for even the youngest riders. He carries beginners as young as three years old with the same care and reliability that he offers adult riders well into their sixties. His consistency builds confidence, his patience builds trust, and his kindness creates lasting connections between horse and rider.
Pep is also every parent’s dream horse. My own mom never worries when I’m on Pep, even at high-energy barrel races, because she knows he understands his job and always puts his rider first. He takes care of those who ride him, no matter their age or skill level.
Peppe is more than a lesson horse—he is a teacher, a protector, and a partner. These are the reasons he truly deserves the School Horse Award.
