Reinbeau
Reinbeau is a 16-year-old Morgan who came to our program in
2006. He is patient and sweet. Kids love his beautiful long
wavy mane. And he loves FOOD!! Unfortunately he has an
illness that limits how many treats he can have so we can
maintain his weight. He also loves to go on trail rides!!

Forst
Most identified by the trademark of his breed, Forst, a
Norwegian Fjord, has a beautiful mohawk with a black dorsal
stripe that runs from his forelock to the end of his tail. Zebra
striping on his legs show the pureness of his breeding. Forst is a
draft pony which means he is shorter but strong enough to
carry adult weight. Forst was a stud pony for many years and
then put out to pasture where he was lonely and bored. At 21
years old, heloves his new job and all the attention he gets in
our program. He is steady, sweet and tolerant.

Phantom
Phantom is the king of our program! He is gentle and
unflappable. He loves every rider unconditionally. Children
remember him by his striking blue eyes. A registered quarter
horse, Phantom had a successful career in the show world and
has taught many children the joys of riding as a lesson horse.
Now 20 years old, he has been the quintessential therapy horse
for over 8 years and loves his job. For this he was named the
NARHA Region 5 Therapy Horse of the Year in 2005.

Windsor
After a brief career in the racing world, Windsor was found at an
auction, emaciated and scared. With training, care and lots of
love, Windsor blossomed into the most amazing talented and
patient horse. Despite his height at 17 hands!!!!, Windsor
immediately found a place in our program doing hippotherapy,
therapeutic riding and lessons for beginners through advanced.
In one show, he helped a 5-year-old child with cerebral palsy
show off her skills steering all by herself for the first time, then
went on the win a jumper class with his owner before going
back to the therapy ring to be dressed as a pink princess for the
costume class. He has been very successful up to 3' jumpers and
first level dressage but, despite his potential for this level of
competition, he loves his role teaching children of all levels to
ride.
