Hey cool cats and kittens, gather ‘round—because this is the story of Josie, our one and only leading lady!

Josie is a rockin’ 16-year-old Percheron/Thoroughbred mare who totally runs the show—and trust us, she was born to be a star. Her story kicks off at seven years old, when she got her start with the Amish (talk about humble beginnings!) before strutting her stuff into the fast-paced, thrill-seeking world of fox hunting. And baby, once she found her groove? There was no turning back.

She lives for the spotlight—especially when it means flying over jumps with the wind in her mane and pure joy in her stride. Speed? Style? Power? Josie’s got the full setlist.

Now every band needs a fearless frontwoman, and Josie totally owns that role as the steady, no-nonsense lead mare. Alongside her main squeeze, Pirate—the lead gelding—they keep the whole herd in harmony, making sure everyone stays tight, supportive, and in tune. Over the years, she’s built up serious confidence, blending that strong, soulful Percheron vibe with the sleek, electric energy of a Thoroughbred.

And versatility? Oh, she can switch it up like a pro. One minute she’s keeping it cool and smooth, helping beginner riders find their rhythm on the longe line… the next, she’s center stage, soaring over jumps with advanced riders like it’s the grand finale of a sold-out show.

Josie’s got heart, style, and star power for days—and around here, she’s not just part of the team… she’s the headliner.
