Our Horses

We have 7 amazing, very friendly, highly trained therapy horses. Each one with their own back story. Most of our horses are rescues or come from less then ideal pasts. They range from ages 12 to 30. Each one of them have been doing therapy for several years now and know the ropes quite well. They do lead line rides, along with independent rides as well. Our horses are trained in Natural Horsemanship, where the relationship is put first and the horse is allowed to have a choice. We also do a lot of Liberty work with our horses and our Clients who are able.
Moses is our oldest and wisest horse. He is a Palomino Quarter Horse. He is 30 years old, though he doesn't look or act it. He has been doing therapy for 15 years and refuses to retire. He loves his job that much.
Teddy is our ex racehorse who is 17 years old. He is a Thoroughbred, and has been doing therapy for 12 years. He never made it to the actual race track because he was too slow, unlike his half brother, the Derby winner Barbaro.
Picasso is a 20 year old American Paint and has been one of our Therapy Horses for 6 years. He is very calm and gentle and as laid back as they come. He has been known to be trusted with some of the most fragile clients riding independently.
Apollo is semi retired from the program, but still a very important team member. He is 12 years old and is a Saddlebred/Quarter horse cross. He is also an amazing Liberty horse and teaches our students patience and helps them build confidence on the ground. He also is used to model how to properly ride for our independent riders.
Jester is our newest member of the therapy team. He is a 13 year old American Paint horse with 2 gorgeous blue eyes and has caught onto the program routine very quickly. He is a smart and mischievous horse who is willing to learn and eager to please. We are thrilled to have found him and add him to our team!
Oakley is also a new member to our team and is our youngest at only 5 years old! He is a Grulla Paint/Quarter horse cross. He is a rescue and has a pretty sad story of being passed around in his short life due to some limitations he has, but when it comes to "bomb proof," you won't find a horse more "bomb Proof" than him! on top of it, he is the most affectionate and sweetest boy you will ever meet.
Last but not least is our only Miniature horse, but she thinks she is a big horse, miss Starburst. She is 15 years old and has been with us since the day the program opened. She LOVES kids and loves to play with our clients on rainy days inside the barn! She knows a few tricks!
