Meet the Herd
Do you have a horse that would like to join our herd?
LIBERTY
LIBERTY
Birthday: January 1, 2002
Program Horse Since: May, 2023
Breed: Quarter Horse
Color: Black
Owned By: Kasey Koskela
Liberty has worked many jobs in her past including babysitter, mom, cow horse, parade horse, and more. When she arrived to take up the position of Therapeutic Riding horse, we were thrilled. This mare has a soft spot for the littlest of participants and treats them with utmost kindness and concern however she's also a great horse for our confident adults as when they are handed her lead, she takes on the "ready to go" personna that we are sure helped her as a cow horse!
LILA
LILA
Birthday: June 18, 2001
Program Horse Since: March, 2024
Breed: Arabian
Color: Bay
Sponsored By: The Staab Family
Owned By: The Staab Family
This gorgeous girl came to us and brings joy to her participants and team every day! She is a fantastic match for our more independent participants to increase their skill set while having a ton of fun at the same time! Lila is kind and looks for affection from her team (back scratches are her absolute favorite). She's eager to please and has lovely gaits. Lila came to us after having been a family horse for most of her life - she now loves her role of being the first of many horses her participants love and connect to.
SKYE
SKYE
Birthday: January 1, 1999
Program Horse Since: January, 2022
Breed: Fjord X Quarter Horse X Percheron
Color: Brown Dun
Owned By: Sharon Lake
This lovely draft cross mare is a cornerstone to our program. Skye is appreciated for her independent personality, steady gaits, and patience with our hyperactive and vocal participants. Her kind eye is adored by all and her magical walk helps center and reconnect so many to the environment around them. Skye prefers to work alongside a volunteer leader rather than be ridden independently and that partnership is second to none.
STRAWBERRY
STRAWBERRY
Birthday: January 1, 2001
Program Horse Since: September, 2022
Breed: Welsh Pony X Quarter Horse
Color: Sooty Buckskin
Owned By: Maeghan Cordis
The speediest, sassiest, pony-mare around loves to call Free Rein her home and reminds everyone to live in the moment and be their genuine self. Strawberry is quick on her feet and never fails to help you get your steps in. While she can be quite the spitfire - she seems to have found her calling with unmounted work and adores sessions where grooming and quiet concentration are the focus. Her riders fall in love quickly with her spicy personality and she has found a place in the hearts of many staff and volunteers with her refusal to act her age.
TITAN
TITAN
Birthday: February 28, 2016
Program Horse Since: December, 2021
Breed: Gypsy Vanner
Color: Sooty Buckskin
Owned By: The Lincoln Family
While this gelding may seem slow and dopey - he is actually wicked smart and eager to please! Titan was originally introduced to many different disciplines and riding styles before moving to Free Rein and his diverse background has set him up for success! He is wonderful at hosting our riders who may need a bit more assistance as well as our riders who are eager to learn independent and advanced riding skills. Titan may be a goofball and taunt his volunteer team frequently with his antics, but at the end of the day - he is kind and willing to partner with our participants!
Thank you to The Lincoln Family for sponsoring Titan!
WALDO
WALDO
Birthday: January 1, 2002
Program Horse Since: April, 2024
Breed: Arabian X Quarter Horse
Color: Sorrel
Sponsored By:
Owned By: Lilly Russo
When we need a horse to boost a participant's confidence, we ask "Where's Waldo?" A gelding of many talents and skills - Waldo has come into our program and immediately had an impact on so many people from volunteers to participants to staff. He is a spunky, goofy guy on brisk mornings and a steady eddy for everyone to learn from. After coming to us from a lesson background, he was already cut out for the job and has become quite the equine partner!
