Cooper came to Ms. Jenny in October of 2013. She purchased him from a barn she was working out of in Richardson before starting her own barn. He was the first lesson horse of her new business and literally built Galaxy Riding School on his back. Ms. Jenny would not have the business she has today without Cooper. The Logo of GRS sports his likeness and will always be a tribute to the horse that started it all.

Hugo came to Ms. Sara in January of 2017. He was in a sale lot with approximately 50 other horses. He had skin infections, was massively overweight, and in desperate need of care. He spent the next 6 years giving everything he had to Ms. Sara and Galaxy to teach our students that no matter how slow you go, you will reach your goals.
In Memory of: Roman
2011 Quarter Horse
Passed 7/3/24 of colic complications
Bay Gelding
Still Loved By: Ms. Erin
Specialized in:
The most affectionate horse
Lofty trot that taught the importance of abdominal engagement
Sensitive and willing partner
Loved cookies and carrots
Slightly needy of other horses’ company
Loved his mama
Although Roman was only with us for a short time he left his hoofprints on our hearts. His spirit animal was a squirrel (cute, chubby, brown, distracted, and cuddly). Roman was truly a mama’s boy and lived for the moments Ms. Erin would come visit him. He made an excellent first horse for her and he was an amazing, safe, confidence builder for our students as well. He is truly missed.
