Brandi

Brandi loves to teach beginner lessons, especially with her best friend Ava!  She also helps our Show Team riders improve their strength and balance with lunge lessons.

Ava is one of the first horses our new students ride when they begin riding lessons.  Ava takes smooth, quick steps which helps new riders learn to post at the trot.

Ellie Mae is the best at teaching tiny tots and beginner riding lessons!  She joins us from Camp Kern for the winter months to help CCEC's riding program students learn good horsemanship skills!

Lira is a beautiful Arabian mare.  She loves to teach riders how to canter, help our Riding Program and Academy Team students learn to ride with quiet hands, and her very favorite - Tiny Tot Lessons!

Cha Cha has been teaching riding lessons at Cape Cod for many years.  Cha Cha came to us from Saddlebred Rescue.  Her favorite jobs are teaching riders who are learning to trot independently, and introducing new Academy Team members to their first horse show.

Viper is one of our biggest lesson horses!  He can be a bit of a pickle in his stall, but it's all an act - he is fun to ride!  Our Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced riders all enjoy a lesson with Viper!

Patches is an adorable Paint gelding.  His specialty is teaching Lunge Lessons to riders of all levels.  Patches also loves teaching beginner and intermediate lessons and is the best to help teach our students to use soft hands and to guide with finesse!  You can often find Patches out on a bareback ride with his owner Reagan, who so kindly shares him with our students!

Poncho is a favorite with our students not only because of his gorgeous color, but also because he is  one of the sweetest horses at CCEC.  Poncho is very good at teaching finesse to our advanced riders.

SOS is one of the fanciest lesson horses at Cape Cod.  In the summer, she goes to almost every horse show, whether it is to compete with Academy Team, or to help our Show Team practice.

Sparkles has been teaching lessons at  Cape Cod for almost her entire life.  She loves to compete with our Academy Team, and teach our lesson students what a Show Horse feels like!

Marvin is the "Gentle Giant" of CCEC.  He is a kind soul who is a favorite with our intermediate riders.  Marvin is also gaited, and teaches our students to Slow-Gait and Rack!

Gatsby used to be an amish buggy horse, and is one of our most special lesson horses!  He can be a bit tricky, but teaches our students valuable skills like patience and perseverance!  Once a rider figures out how to do things Gatsby's way, he always becomes a favorite!

Kate has quickly become a favorite with all of the CCEC riders.  From taking new Academy Team members to their first Victory Pass and blue ribbon, to helping our Show Team riders perfect their pattern work - Kate does it all!

  Thank you to Kate's owner, Margo, for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy "Kate the Great"!

Prince is our resident “Frackney” (He is half Friesian, half Hackney) .  He looks just like a Friesian, but little!  

Steve is one of our newest (and biggest!) lesson horses, and he is helping Marvin teach our riders how to Slow Gait and Rack! 

While her owner Maddy is off at College,  Summer is enjoying her life helping to teach our Show Team riders valuable skills,  and Summer is perfecting her pattern work!

Maximus is the cutest little white pony you’ve ever seen!  He is learning the ropes on how to be a lesson pony!
