Beerus, half brother to Jima and another Munger bred Thoroughbred, was added to the ATU lesson program in 2022. In November of 2022 we met a new rider Suzie. It was love at first sight. We had him chosen for her first lesson and she was leasing him within 60 days! Within another 3-4 months she decided she couldn’t do without him and began the process of purchasing him. Now they are doing wonderfully together and are still part of our much loved Barn Family.

We are so excited for Tsunade’s next steps. As many know, ATU likes to rotate horses out of the lesson program after several years so each horse gets the chance to find their person. Often their new owners are ATU riders and Leasers who are ready to take the step into horse ownership. “Nade” has been in our program for quite some time and been a wonderful asset to our programs. But we are excited for her that she has finally found her person in one of our beloved leasers. Tsunade and her new owner will still be around while remaining in training with ATU.

Cloud was purchase by ATU at the same time as Sora in Summer 2022. He was intended to be our new Classical Dressage mount, however his leaser that was training on him at the time fell in love and asked to purchase him from ATU. In March 2024, Cloud officially became hers. They still train with ATU.

Boo was owned originally by an aquaintence. ATU helped broker his sale to a client we had who was interested in owning. She owned him for a short period and when her job relocated her she just wanted to see him go to a good home. Instead of relocating him across the country she gifted him to ATU. The same indiviual who purchased Cloud fell in love with him so ATU sold him to her for $1 because we knew he’d be much loved and cared for!
