Meet our Therapy Horses! Click on any of the pictures for a larger view.

CAESAR
A white Appaloosa/Welsh pony. He has been a mainstay in the lesson program for more than ten years, and the smallest riders just love him.

 
     

DUSTY
Our “thirty-something” therapy mule. He is an equine “saint” who carried some of the most physically disabled riders until he developed arthritis in his hind legs. Some of the lighter weight riders still enjoy Dusty's steadfast disposition in lessons.

 
     

MONKEY BIZ
A registered Quarter Horse. Monkey has been a member of the Smith’s “family” for the past 25 years, and has been a key H.H.T.L.C. lesson horse since the program was founded in 1993.

 
     

WILLIE G
A registered Haflinger, a draft pony breed originating in the mountains of Austria. Willie is the youngest member of the herd and a real cutie. He is trained to ride and drive.

 
     

LUCKY
A registered Standardbred. Lucky’s former careers include harness racing and trail horse. He has a sweet, gentle personality.

 
     

FROSTY (formerly named Sir Strawberry)
A Quarter Horse/Haflinger cross. He is one of the newer horses used in lessons for some of our larger riders.

 
     

THUNDER (formerly named Basil)
A Belgian/Haflinger cross, named for the sound of his very large feet. He is the newest member of the lesson horses. Because of his large size, he is able to carry some of the bigger riders.
