This big & goofy horse belonged to one of our boarders. In the Fall of 2022 he became a part of the ELC herd. Just like Amber he missed out on a royal title, since he was already known to everyone as Clifford (the big red horse).
His bouncy trot makes him an excellent teacher to those students who are ready to learn how to post. His bumpy trot is offset by a really nice canter.
Clifford does like to take it easy. Therefore, it takes a little convincing to get him to work, but when he does you will find that this boy can move!
This is a horse with many talents: dressage; jumping; barrels; trail riding. He can do it all!
Over the Summer of 2024 Clifford developed mild lameness issues. X-rays showed bone deformation in his pastern. This is called ring bone and there is no cure. Unfortunately this meant the end of his career. He is now a boarded horse and living his best life here at ELC.
