Duke
Haflinger
2015 Horse of the Year
Duke is a draft "pony"; Haflingers are called ponies even though they can be horse-sized. Because he is a draft horse, he can carry heavier riders and since he is shorter than most draft horses, he is the perfect height to use for wheelchair mount riders.
Duke was donated by Candy Shoaff in 2013.
Bear
Ten Bears
Quarter Horse/Gypsy Vanner Cross
AMHR 2004
Bear joined the TTRC Herd in January of 2023 and has been in training for therapeutic riding. He's smart and anxious to learn, and he's also extremely handsome! He and Duke are good buddies. We're thrilled to have this bug guy in the family.
Lyle
Haflinger/Hackney cross pony
2014 Horse of the Year
Lyle joined us in 2008. He is a handsome boy and all the kids love him. Lyle is able to challenge his riders that need challenged. Lyle is an invaluable member of our equine team!
