OUR HERD
Fabulous Fabio
Fabio has been a member of our family since 2015. He came to us with years of therapeutic riding experience and has helped countless riders in our program learn to ride and to trust. Fabio is always calm and patient. He is a big strong boy who loves everyone. He is thought to have been born around 1995 but he doesn’t share his exact age with anyone.
TOSCA
​
Tosca, born in 2006, is a Quarter Horse mare who has been with us since 2016. She is quickly learning her job. She doesn’t always understand what you want but once she does, you can see and feel her relax. She tries very hard to please and just loves all of the attention her riders give her.
MARIAH
Mariah is part of the Miracle family because her owner, Laura Ernest, thought that her intelligence, patience and calm demeanor would make her the great therapy horse that she has become. Her owner has since moved away, but recognized that Mariah is very happy in her job so has generously trusted us with her care and allowed her to stay here and remain a member of our team here at Miracles.
SAMMY
​
Sammy is a Belgian Draft horse. We don't know much about her background other than she was rescued from an slaughter auction in 2017. We estimate her age between 11 and 14. We are all drawn by her intelligence, patience, and sweet nature. Sammy is a very gentle giant who will follow people she trusts forever. We are currently working on refining her training so that she can become a valued member of our herd as a lead line or an independent horse.
JAX
Jax is a dappled grey (though more flea-bitten with age) registered Quarter Horse gelding, owned by instructor Maya. He is a chill guy with a typical QH movement - easy jog and slow lope. He is very good about expressing his emotions through facial expressions and is not shy about sharing his opinions. He generally likes to hang out by the fan when the weather gets warmer, but if you want to see him perk up, offer him (sparingly) a mint candy - his favorite treat!
