OUR HORSES

Daystar's Nike Can Wait is a 26-year-old bay connemara cross gelding standing 15 1/2 hh tall. He is Yvonne's first horse and her pride and joy. Nike is used primarily for intermediate to advanced riders but is patient enough to teach older beginner kids. He came to Yvonne as a two-year-old knowing nothing. He is her life-long riding partner. Everyone on the show circuit knows Nike, which makes Yvonne proud. Inevitably he steps off the trailer at a show and someone says "Oh Nike is here!" Nike has a freeze brand on his left hip of a four-leaf clover and an "N" in the middle. Yvonne decided on this since connemaras are originally from Ireland and he definitely has the connemara spirit. Nike loves to jump and has jumped as high as 3'6" competitively.  He is an amazing horse and everyone that has ever gotten a chance to ride him loves him. Nike's favorite treat is watermelon which he gets every year on his birthday, and no, he doesn't share. This year he is teaching the next generation of riders to love competing at jumper shows.
