Shiner
Palomino Quarter Horse
Meet Shiner, our dazzling 9-year-old palomino Quarter Horse pony with roots in sunny Mexico. Shiner’s past life as a Charro horse—a spectacular form of Mexican dance on horseback—endows him with a rhythm and grace that makes him genuinely one-of-a-kind at the National Ability Center. His flashy coat and steady cadence aren’t just for show; they translate beautifully into his new role as a lesson horse. Shiner’s unique training gives him a smooth, consistent gait that’s perfect for our participants, providing a dependable and enchanting ride every time. Whether prancing in the arena or charming volunteers, Shiner is a pony who brings a little extra sparkle to everyone’s day!
We invite you to stand alongside our incredible sponsors who support our horses’ well-being. As they say, it takes a village, and we’re delighted to welcome you to the community!
