Greystone

Greystone is CATR's showy little Welsh Pony.  He loves to go, and he would jump the moon if his rider asked. Greystone is the first choice for small riders, and he looks like a little polar bear cub with his furry winter coat! Greystone was donated to CATR by Helen Clements.

Mitch

Mitch is CATR's poster pony- he loves to pose for the camera! Mitch is a Haflinger who is famous around the barn for his long eyelashes and smiling eyes.  He gives his riders lots of lateral movement and is a wonderful learn-to-canter pony.  The Buckner family donates the use of Mitch to CATR. *Sponsored by Mr. & Mrs. Mike Addy
