LYLE
Lyle is quite the friendly and curious little guy! He gets along great with his pasture mates and is full of energy. He and Willy are great friends.
JANIS JOPLIN

ADDY
Admiral Jess
AQHA 1989
2010 Therapy Horse of the Year
Addy has been with us since the winter of 2008-09, when he retired from his show career. He is a welcome addition to our horse staff. Addy is a handsome boy and has a sweet disposition.
HERSHEY
Hershey is a tiny little guy but makes up for it in energy. He is quite the sweet older gentleman, somewhere in his late twenties or early 30's, but you'd never know it by his energy level. Our smallest riders really enjoy working with him since he is "just their size".
WILLY
Windmill Junction Boxcar Willy
AMHR 2004
Willy is a registered minature horse and looks like a mini Lyle. He is fun to work with and our kids use him for ground work. Willy loves attention and came to us because he is too easy of a keeper for his own good!
ZIPPY
Zippy was donated to Therapeion in 2011 as a four year old. He is a Belgium, Appy, and Arab cross. Zippy, being a draft cross, is able to easily handle larger riders. He is currently in training to join our therapy team.
HALLIE

PtHA
Hallie is one of Libby's personal horses and a member of our therapy team. Hallie loves to be loved on and is the perfect size for a therapeutic riding horse..not too tall for our side walkers!
