Once you say hello to all of the horses in the barn and fields, follow the drive way past the silo to the Draft horse barn and visit with “Stanley”.

Stanley is my sons favorite. Stanley is HUGE! He stands 18.1 hands.

He is super sweet and really likes apples!

Stanley worked for a pharmaceutical company aiding in creating snakebite anti-venom before retiring to Ryerss in October 2004. Stanley is smart, a good mover and “King of the Drafts.”
