Ebony
Sponsored by Mark & Vickie Nysether and the Nysether Family Foundation
Ebony is a true black Quarter Horse/Arab/Welsh mare born in 1985. She has both a white star and a white snip for markings. She has been trained in both English and western style riding, and can also be driven in long lines. Ebony has very active gaits and enjoys “dancing” to music while she is working in the arena. Ebony was voted EquiFriends’ Horse of the Year in 2003.
Ebony is a good hippotherapy horse. She especially enjoys trotting; she knows what the word trot means, and even knows that it is spelled “t-r-o-t!” She has a habit of making nasty faces while being tacked up, but she is a very nice horse!
