Magic exists with people and horses. The trained and trusted horses at HorseAbility bring confidence, smiles, and laughter to our riders. Our mounts are selected and trained according to the special needs of the client. Each horse has a quiet and dependable disposition, a comfortable gait, and years of experience both with skilled and unskilled riders.

We have many horses working with our program. Most of the horses have been with our program for five or more years (and some have been here since the beginning of HorseAbility)!

Allie
“Halleluiah” was generously donated to our program by Sue McDonald. This mild tempered, kind hearted mare is well schooled in dressage and has been helping various students master their riding skills on the flat.

Archie
His easy going nature has made Archie a true asset to the program. He loves his job, helping out in hippotherapy sessions as well as riding lessons.

Bear
This petite pony known by his owners, Erica and Tom Chillemi, as “Barely There” was recently donated to be used in our Ketcham ride school, therapeutic riding, and hippotherapy programs. He has made a tremendous growth and become an essential piece to our facility at Ketcham Farm. His youthful pizzazz makes for a great ride for many of our beginner to advance students on the flat, as well as over fences.

Buttons
This pony may be small but his personality is bigger! He is eager to please and enjoys anything from flatwork to jumping. His enthusiasm is contagious; you will certainly find yourself smiling after you’ve spent time with Buttons.

Diamond
This outgoing thoroughbred is always the first to greet HorseAbility clients and volunteers. He is well known around the barn as a true sweetheart who brings out the best in his riders.

Gryffindor
"Ten points for Gryffindor!" Gryff is a true blue companion. Beloved by volunteers, staff and leasers he is a comfortable, reliable horse who is a pleasure to ride and spend time with. Gryff is on loan to HorseAbility by Denise and Camryn Ryder.

Hughie
Hughie was generously donated to the HorseAbility program by Jane Schwartz. Standing tall at 17.2 hands, this Irish Sport Horse is easily recognizable in a crowd. But it is not just his great stature which makes him memorable. Hughie’s hardworking nature and big heart have made him the perfect mount for our therapeutic riders and volunteers.

Juliette
This beautiful mare competed in upper level dressage before joining the HorseAbility family. She is very patient and loves the kids. She always gives 110% whether she is working in lessons or with her leasers.

Mona
Mona is a prestigious Jr.hunter horse who was generously donated by the Phillips Family. Along with her vast background and training, Mona’s strong character and powerful will helps bring our riders to an extraordinary level of horseback riding.

RobinHood
The latest addition to the HorseAbility program, RobinHood brings years of experience as a three foot hunter to his riders. His kind attitude makes him an excellent teacher for both beginner and advanced students.

Topaz
Despite only being 13.1 hands, Topaz is a favorite among our students. He is a golden palomino and works in HorseAbility’s therapeutic riding and hippotherapy program. He does not just teach our beginners, but also takes our more advanced students to hunter/jumpers, dressage, and combined training shows.
