Murphy Murphy was purchased back in 2011 as Lauren’s first horse. She was ready to be done with ponies and needed a kind soul who could be her very best friend. Jill found Murphy on Craigslist (of all places!) for $3500 and drove over to Ann Arbor to pick him up and surprised Lauren after school. Murphy has the kindest heart and is dearly beloved by all of us. He spends his days teaching the little ones how to canter and will live out his days at HighPointe to the very end.
