Scout

Scout is a registered American Paint Horse. He was born in 2000 and came to our farm in 2005. He has had 2 homes with ours being the second and final. It took him a while to learn that he could be safe here and that no one would ever hit him.
He provides quiet leadership, is respected by all of the herd and is a really good “boundaries” teacher.

Gracie

Gracie is a registered American Paint Horse like her brother, Scout. (They have the same sire/father.) She was born on our farm in 2005. It was a once in a lifetime experience for our family to be there for her breeding, birth and forever home. She is an example of nature and nurture in perfect balance. She has a good gene pool and has been safe, secure and loved her entire life. Her beauty is external and internal. Her calm and kind disposition make her a wonderful teacher in the arena.

Luther

Luther is a registered American Quarter Horse, born in Minnesota in 2000. He was born to be a show horse and lived the first five years of his life doing just that, all across the country with his first 2 families. He came to us in 2007 and continued to compete a few more years.

He is our “high maintenance” teacher, ie, sometimes those with the most problems, take a lot more effort to love. His issues are particularly helpful for people struggling with addiction, the effects of too much stress and unhealthy habits.
