​Facts About Me
Breed: American Quarter Horse
Born: 2011
Program(s): Equine Assisted Counseling, Therapeutic Riding
Year Joined Program: 2021

My Story

I enjoyed a very successful career as a competitive reining horse before becoming injured. I take life at a bit slower pace these days, working daily in the counseling program and will soon be starting work in the therapeutic riding program. I am very protective of my herd, especially the girls. 
​
​Special Talents and Skills
Clients who want to work with me often have to seek me out in the herd. I often like to do my own thing and try to avoid conflict with other horses. Clients often comment on my calm, reassuring presence when working with me.

As a riding horse, I am patient and responsive. I am very good at helping new riders build confidence and teaching them how to communicate clearly and effectively.

Your sponsorship will support me and my herd by providing feed, hay, veterinary and farrier care, tack and equipment, other necessities, and most importantly, carrots! 
What does it cost to care for a therapy equine?
$4,500 for board, feed, and hay ($375/month)
$1000 for veterinary and farrier care (~$84/month)
