Our Horses

  • MORGAN

    Quarter Horse, 2002

    Morgan is the fierce leader and protector of our herd. He is gentle, respectful, and loves to contribute to our program. An injury to his right front leg ended his career as a show horse in his younger years. He has the perfect disposition and is very handsome but his injuries make him unsound for riding. Morgan is a wonderful contributor to our unmounted programs.

  • SAPPHIRA

    Quarter Horse/Tennessee Walker, 2015

    Sapphira is calm, kind, and loves kids. She moves smoothly and takes great care of her little riders. When a participant slips off center in the saddle, she stops to let the sidewalks adjust. She loves her job as a therapy horse!

  • STEELER

    Quarter Horse / Thoroughbred, 2000

    Steel Silhouette aka Steeler, is a gentle giant with the sweetest disposition and gorgeous movements.

    Steeler is part of an incredible STRC success story where his movements helped a little girl who was diagnosed with severe childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) find her voice through our hippotherapy program.

  • SCRIM THE PONY

    Our fluffy princess is smooth, steady, and perfect for our riders who need extra postural support.

    She put a smile on our faces when she arrived at our ranch in March 2020, on the day of the funeral of Hot Springs Police Officer Brent Scrimshire who lost his life in the line of duty. With the permission of the Scrimshire family, we named her “Scrim the Pony.”

  • DOC

    Quarter Horse, 2015

    Doc is an elegant and dynamic mover. As a former ranch horse, he is well-trained and has impeccable ground manners. Doc is a sweetheart and has an in-your-pocket personality that makes everyone fall in love with him.

  • RINGO

    Quarter Horse, 2010

    Jim Dandy Bell, aka Ringo, has a big personality! He is hard-working, smart, and loves to make people laugh. His movements are perfect for our sensory-seeking riders. He is full of mischief and can open any gate.

  • BLUEBERRY

    Quarter Horse, 2021

    Blueberry was performance horse in the past. She is kind, loving and very patient.
