MANCHA
Mancha is a 23-year-old APHA gelding. Darby bought Mancha in 2013. She completed through Novice with him, traveling all over Wyoming, Colorado, and even to Kentucky in 2014 for the United States Pony Club Eventing Championships. He retired from competing in 2016 and has since become a lesson horse for all levels, ages, and skill sets. He has been Fox Hunting, has moved cows, and has been in many lesson programs. He is a solid citizen and loves teaching kids!
SENDERO
"Ero" is a 23-year-old OTTB. Ero has been in the Murphy family since the early 2000s. Darby's mother trained him to be an Eventer and was successful through the training level; he was schooled through 2nd level dressage and has done everything from Fox Hunting to moving cows across big Wyoming country. Ero retired from competing and has since become an amazing teacher for students riding with Darby. He is best suited for more advanced riders.
