Brandy
Brandy, a 17-year-old QH/Arab mare was my first horse and my first rescue. I found
her as a yearling, very underweight, underfed and abused. It took a long time and lots
of carrots to develop a mutual trust, but now she's fat, spoiled, and my all-around
horse that anyone can ride. She often gives "pony rides" (even though she's 15.2
hands!) to young visitors to the farm. She still likes to make evil faces, but the ears
always come up at the crinkle of a peppermint wrapper. She's my baby girl and the
inspiration behind starting the farm.
Brandy is also our lesson horse, and is great with anyone from extreme beginners to
more advanced riders.

Ikkus: Ikkus is currently MIA.
Though this is not his first
absence, it is his longest.
We hope he's having fun and
catching lots of mice,
wherever he is.

"Scotch"
Scotch (no relation to Brandy!) is an 8-year-old, 16hand Quarter Horse/Paint mare.
She is owned by Virginia Intermont student LC Matney, who is a local of Buchanan
County. Scotch is a wonderful horse - lots of fun to ride and a great jumper! LC and
her many friends are now regular visitors at Sorrows End, and a huge help around
the barn. We're glad to have them here!

and having fun cross-country!
Nicknamed "Cupcake," Cat Nippin is a former steeplechaser who has become a
permanent resident of Sorrows End Farm. At 7 years old and standing a solid 16.3
hands, Cat Nippin is a big girl with plenty of athleticism. She is continuing her training
here, and is just fabulous to jump -- she is very bold and a lot of fun to ride. We
sometimes use her for our more advanced lessons. A granddaughter of the great
Seattle Slew, Cat Nippin is a very classy girl and certainly seems to enjoy her home
here at Sorrows End.
***Cat Nippin is available for lease. Please contact Sorrows End for details.

"Mae"
"Mae" is our newest addition: an 8-year-old off-the-track Thoroughbred owned by
Laura Lyttle. Laura is a former Virginia Intermont student. She and Mae enjoy
eventing, though they have been out of work for awhile and are now getting back into
shape. Mae is just a lovely horse who seems to be very happy here at Sorrows End.
Laura works at Ruby Tuesdays, and comes out to the barn whenever she has a
chance. Mae has settled into the our ever-growing mare herd, and we look forward to
seeing what she can do.

"Stella"
"Stella" is a Sorrows End graduate who is now owned by Elyse Shriber. Elyse is just
crazy about Stella and is so excited about building a partnership with her. Stella is
9-year-old (1999) TB mare and a former steeplechaser. She loves jumping and is
absolutely the nicest mover you've ever seen. She is bold and very game, and has
been the favorite of several students at the farm. We're so glad Stella is going to be
staying with us for boarding so we can watch her and Elyse grow together!
