OUR HORSES |
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)! |
Archie
A prominent mmber of our herd, Archie certainly earns his keep around here. His
easy going nature makes him a true asset to the program.
Archie loves his job, helping out in hippotherapy sessions as
well as therapeutic riding lessons. |

Bear
This
petite pony, known by his owners Erica and Tom Chillemi, as
“Barely There,” was donated to be used
in our therapeutic riding, and hippotherapy
programs. He has grown tremendously as a therapy horse and equine athlete, and has become an essential member of our team. His youthful pizzazz
makes for a great ride for many of our beginner to advance
students on the flat, as well as over fences. |

Bruno
An eye-catching Belgian draft horse generously donated from Sweet Hills, Bruno is a gentle giant who works in our therapeutic riding program. Standing at 17.1 hands, he is the tallest horse at HorseAbility. Don’t let his size scare you—he is really just a big puppy dog who wants to be loved! |
|
Buttons
This
pony may be small but his personality is much 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. Buttons is utilized in both therapeutic riding and hippotherapy. |
 |
Caska
This little Arabian gelding quickly found his niche in both our therapeutic riding and hippotherapy program. His gentle movement and calm disposition makes his riders and volunteers all feel safe and secure. This pony has plenty of love and personality to go around! |
|
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. |

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. She has a kind nature that is very weloming and loving. |

RobinHood
RobinHood brings
to years of experience in the show ring as a Hunter
to HorseAbility and our 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.

therapeutic riding and hippotherapy program. He enjoys

do Pony Rallies and combined training events. |
