 "Telly" is FairyTale's son. He was born on our farm. Telly is a Shetland/Welsh pony cross. His half brother is TDH.

Scooby Doo

Yabba Dabba Doo

 
"Yabba" is an 11.3 hand Welsh pony. He rides english, western, and drives too. Yabba can jump 2'6", which is pretty high considering that he's pretty small!
Bah Humbug

 		 "Humbug" is a strawberry roan Welsh/Haflinger cross pony. He is Snicker's brother. Together they make a great driving team. Humbug like to move forward a little more than Snickers.
Chickaboom

 		 "Boomer" is a mustang pony who looks like Spirit! He is still in training.
Sam I Am

 		 "Sam" is Emily's old competition horse. Together they have won lots of ribbons and have jumped the big jumps (3'6"). Now Sam is a favorite lesson horse. He is only 5/8 of an inch too tall to be a pony.
Bold

 		 "Bold" was one of the favorite lesson horses at HDA. Melissa Godin now owns him. Bold went to Cornell Veterinary Hospital in late fall of '08 and spent 2 months there, where he had a Tracheotomy (which means that they made a hole in his neck for him to breathe through). Bold is going to be featured in a book titled "The Horse That Saved My Life," which will be out in print later this year.
Memorial Star

 		 "Baby" is HDA's heaviest draft horse, weighing 1800 pounds. She is a Percheron/Belgian cross. Although Baby was not born on our farm, we have had her since she was 11 months old. Tania has trained her to drive, ride english, western, and sidesaddle. Every year Baby brings home lots of ribbons from the local draft horse show. She has even gone to compete at the NY State Fair. Baby also jumps. Many students enjoy taking her to the x-country jumping field and riding her in their first Event at HDA. Check out Baby's Website.

Current Reality

 "Chunk" is a 16.1 hand Thoroughbred gelding. Originally purchased as a competition horse for Emily, we soon realized that he likes doing lesson! He has a slow and steady, yet slightly bouncy trot.

FireFly

 "Duey" is Damselfly's son. He was born on the farm. He was originally trained as a driving pony, but after being trained to ride, he has now become a good lesson pony.
 

Rock of Ages
 

 

 "Rocky" is a Belgian/Paint cross (half-draft). Originally found in a farmer's field, he soon became Tania's competition horse. She has competed him in eventing and jumpers extensively throughout NY, Canada, VT, and Pennsylvania. Although Rocky can jump 4', he is a gentle giant and is also very good for the beginner rider.
 
Guido
 		 Guido is a relatively new horse to Honey Dew Acres. Guido was bought as a competition horse for Emily.  He will be Emily's Competition horse this summer.  He also does lessons. He is about 16 years old and is very, very tall (17h). He has 4 white stockings and some white splotches on his belly.

Ivy League
 "Ivy" is a Thoroughbred mare. She has never raced, and her quiet attitude has made her a great addition to our lesson program.

 "MuleGirl" (aka. "MuMu") is a 15 hand registered American Quarter horse. MuMu has very steady gaits, which makes her enjoyable to ride. MuleGirl is also very good for eventing, because she puts in a very steady dressage test, as well as good x-country and stadium jumping rounds.
