Horses Helping Humans Heal

Macho, 22 is a black Paso Fino
gelding, esily a premmier therapeutic
riding horse who meets each student
where she or he is and responds
empathically. A mellow, gentle fellow
with a smooth "corto" gait.
Pumpkin, 12, Hafflinger gelding, came
to Free Rein from an Amish community
in the northeast, originally a driving
pony. Free Rein's friendliest horse,
has a nicker for everyone! Built like a
little tank. Really fun to work with.
Patience, 18, dark bay appendix
Quarterhorse mare, originally a
favorite at Camp Keystone, the one
horse that lots of folks in Brevard
already know! A great teaching horse,
very sweet and shy.
Cody Cody, 20, sorrel Quarterhorse mare, praised highly for her work as a therapy horse in previous settings, Cody likes people, loves attention, gives a smooth ride, and does her best to please.

Red Red, 20, red dun Quarterhorse mare, granddaughter of "Two Eyed Jack" (renowned in QH circles), trained beautifully as a Western Pleasure show horse, but much happier now to be living a less stressful life of mostly pastures and trails. Has elegant, smooth gaits.

Smudge, 30-something, is a grade
horse (a mix of breeds). She “retired”
after spending many years as a lesson
horse, but recently began helping
out at Free Rein since she loves
people so much. Smudge is very kind
and gentle, and also has a great
sense of humor. She is the favorite
horse of many of our youngest
students.
