Joker, Hotshot, and Falina are our equine therapy teammates. These horses are loving and magnificent animals that are mirrors for human emotion in our equine sessions.
Hotshot is an extroverted quarter horse who never gets enough attention, and is a bit bolder than the cautious and spirited Thoroughbred, Joker. Falina is our shy, and unbelievably sweet Mare. Our horses love people and work hard to help our team provide life-changing therapeutic experiences.
Sunnybear is our therapy dog and jovial Golden Retriever, with a warm, sunny heart and a playful, bearish nature. She is very playful, enthusiastic, sweet and happy. Her loving spirit is invaluable to us.
Edward is our capricious and much loved therapy cat. He keeps the mice at bay, chases Sunnybear, and soothes hurts with his warm and very loud purr. Edward loves to go on hikes with us.
