Equine Staff

Rocky

Rocky will do anything to please. He loves giving hugs and kisses, and has a nervous habit of hanging his tongue out the side of his mouth. He has a great sense of humor but is most known for his distractibility.

 
   

Nikleen

Niki knows her job forwards and backwards. She came to us with previous therapy experience which puts her at the head of the class. This adds to her confident personality, thinking she knows better than anyone else and never loses her cool.....unless faced with the terrifying monster better known as "The Hose".

  

Gideon

"Will work for food" is Gideon's motto. Despite his "Too Cool For School" attitude, he is a huge asset to the program being a very versatile and reliable mount. His wild hair is a tribute to his young stud muffin days. You can usually hear him before you can see him, he demands treats by banging on his stall door when visitors are near.

 
  

FairyTale

Fairy is known as the barn princess. She knows how to get what she wants using her good looks and charm. Don't let her fool you because at heart she is a sassy girl who doesn't keep her opinions to herself and loves being the boss. She also has a way with children and her steady pace makes her a wonderful therapy horse.

 
  

Pepsi

Pepsi prefers human company over the equine variety, and he is the definition of a "Momma's Boy". Being the wisest horse in the barn is a tough job but since he handles the responsibility so well, he is often chosen for our new kiddo's first rides.

  

Tiger

Tiger is known for his Dalmatian-like spots. Although he is blind in one eye he still enjoys a good game of Follow-the-Leader with his human friends. He's tried pretty much every equine activity under the sun which has made him popular with kids from all walks of life.

 
  

Zippy

Zippy is the smallest of our therapy horses but has a big personality. He is always curious and kind, but has a bit of sass when he wants his way.  He and Tiger have become best friends and talk to eachother when they are separated. Zippy has been on the farm for many years and taught lots of kids to ride, coming over to TherAplay is the perfect next step to continue his teaching career!

 
  

Amore

Amore, otherwise known as "Moe", is our newest member of the TherAplay herd. He has a young personality and is curious about everything. He and Rocky play in the pasture like they are kids on a playground. Moe loves all the attention that he gets at TherAplay, his favorite treats are peppermints and carrots.
