Gio

Gio is an 11 year old Lipizzan mare. She was donated by Tempel Lipizzans.

Chipper

Chipper is an Appaloosa gelding. He is red roan in color and was born on Feb. 5, 1992. Chipper was a reiner before coming to our program. He was 2007 Region 6 NARHA therapy horse of the year. 

Cameo

Cameo is a Morgan chestnut mare. Not only was Cameo named 2000 NARHA Region 6 Therapy Horse of the Year, she has also been on national television! Our Hollywood “princess” was featured on the show “Miracle Babies” on CBS. She was born on June 24, 1987. 

 We pick the horses specifically for their riders.  For example, Cameo has extremely smooth gaits so her movement is good for someone who has difficulty with trunk and/or head control.  However, her barrel is wide, so someone who is very tight in their adductors would have problems being on her.
