Bella
Breed: Halflinger
Age: Born 2007
Bella is one of our mares, and is definitely a diva. She is a gentle giant with a heart of gold. Thanks to her size, she is able to carry more weight than some of the smaller horses. Bella is our youngest horse and has been with us since she was about six years old, having been a therapy horse for most of her working life.

Candela
Breed: Thoroughbred
Age: Born 200?
Candela once had a career as a polo pony, trained in Argentina. She is extremely sweet and intelligent. She has adapted well to her role as a therapy horse. We often say that she is worth her weight in gold because she is so great with everyone who works with her, especially small children. She is definately the horse we use most to begin training of volunteers, because she always cooperates with every little instruction she is given.

Cookie
Breed: Quarter Horse

Cookie is a bay mare who came to us from Brenham, Texas in 2017. Her owner was calf-roping champion Wyatt Imaus.

Sammie is a sweet little, liver chestnut mare who was donated in 2017 by Don Imaus (famous radio personality) and his son (champion calf-roper) Wyatt Imus. Her special markings include one white sock, a white pastern, a star, a stripe, and a snip!

Sophia
Breed: Thoroughbred
Age: Born 200?
Like Candela, Sophia once had a career as a polo pony, trained in Argentina. She is blind in one eye, thanks to glaucoma. But even with this small disability, Sophia makes an amazing therapy horse. She is quiet and calm and able to manage as if she was fully sighted. Learn more about Sophia and contribute to support her on her page.
Muñeca
Breed: Thoroughbred
Age: Born 200?
Like Candela and Sophia, Muñeca once had a career as a polo pony, trained in Argentina. We’ve nicknamed her “Moon” to make her name easy to pronounce. Her special gift seems to be that the minute she starts to work, she is completely focussed on doing her best to please her rider. We are so excited to have this sweet girl on our team.
