Apache is one of our oldest horses, but don’t let his age fool you. He may have slowed down a bit, but he still loves his job. Whenever we have lessons in the arena, he likes to stand in his pasture so he can watch. He is always willing to greet people who come into the barn. One reason his hay bag hangs outside of his stall door is because he has separation anxiety, and the only way he will eat is if he can see his friends. Apache has some of the same struggles that many humans do. He is definitely a favorite amongst our participants and volunteers because of his kind, quiet and caring attitude. He is truly a valuable member of our team. He loves being petted and told how handsome he is. Apache is truly a saint. FETC is grateful to have such an amazing horse on our team.

Apollo is a 26 year old Registered American Quarter Horse chestnut gelding who has devoted over half of his life in equine therapeutic services for veterans and handicapped individuals. Upon retirement from these services, Apollo ended up in the hands of someone who could not properly care for him and he developed COPD and was severely underweight. Freedom Hill Horse Rescue was called in to assist Animal Control on the seizure of 5 horses which Apollo was included. When he came to Freedom Hill Horse Rescue, he needed immediate medical care as he was struggling just to breathe. FHHR was able to get the necessary medicine and the weight gain for him and he is currently doing well. He still continues to serve as an Equine Ambassador to veterans, handicapped individuals as well as youth groups and families in our community to educate the public about horses and horse rescue/sanctuary organizations. After all the years of his service to people, we feel he is the perfect equine to become an Equine Ambassador. Learn more about Freedom Hill Horse Rescue, Inc. here .

One can describe an ambassador as an individual with an outgoing personality, someone who can thrive in social situations, and who has the ability to engage with people from all walks of life. A good ambassador can effortlessly connect with others and leave a positive impact on them. That is our ‘Blaze the Observant’! Blaze has been with Rose of Sharon Equestrian School (ROSES) nearly seven years. He has worked with children as young as two all the way up to senior citizens as old as 102. He is as gregarious as he is gentle. Perhaps because of something in the mystery of his history, or because in his time with us he has endured the sadness of losing three of his stablemates, young fellows who have lost their Dads are particularly drawn to him and he to them. Some of those losses have been through death, abandonment, or because of abuse…but whatever the cause, Blaze seems to fill in some emotional holes for these young people. Blaze’s skill at connecting does not end there, however. He is also a favorite of the folks who come to ROSES to help alleviate some of their challenges with dementia. In those interactions, Blaze fills their moments with pleasant sensory stimulation, flooding their minds with sights, sounds, smells, textures and gestures! This senior horse and these senior citizens see each other and the interaction is positive and profound and perpetuates beyond the time spent at the stable. For these reasons and many more, we hereby nominate ‘Blaze the Observant’ as Rose of Sharon Equestrian School’s Equine Ambassador for 2024!

We call her Magic, she is a sweet and wonderful mare who has suffered a lot. We intend to make sure she has a happy ever after. With your help, we will be able to give her the rehabilitation to lead a healthy and happy life. Bold Magic has suffered a great deal. When I first saw her she couldn’t walk – even on step. She needed medical attention immediately so my vet accompanied me to the farm soon after. Suspecting she had foundered we made arrangements to have her x-rayed. She was only 5 years old and we feared the worst – that it was too advanced to treat. We couldn’t determine how long the it had gone on. I was told that she would lay down a lot. It was clear she wasn’t eating and that there was no food in sight. I spoke to my farrier about taking boots over for Magic to wear. She made some pads to put in the boots to support her feet. I returned with gastrogard, banamine and the boots.It took a week but we returned to the farm with the x-ray machine. I was encouraged to see Magic could walk although it was painful to watch. It was still an improvement. When we removed the boots and wraps from her feet there was a stench. It was clear she had begun to pop abscesses from her feet. The right front popping two, one from the coronet band and one from the heel. I was a little encouraged. After examinations of the x-rays it was clear she had not foundered but was instead suffering from severe abscesses in at least three of her feet. I wanted to get her out of there but we didn’t have the funds needed to take on another horse. We decided to gamble on raising the money to care for her after we picked her up so the day after we took the x-rays, we returned and picked her up. Magic is slowly improving with consistent care. We are still fundraising to fund her rehabilitation. We need your help. Magic raced only one time. Magic is located at Leighton Farm in Upper Marlboro, MD.

The story of Buck - Equine Ambassador at Prancing Horse One newer resident to Prancing Horse challenged us in a way that other horses had not. His name is Buck and he caught everyone’s attention when he arrived on Valentine’s Day 2023. It was our barn manager, Julia Davis, who knew of Buck and thought he might have a chance at our farm. She later confessed that she wasn’t sure Buck would survive the two hour transport due to his condition. Buck arrived with ribs showing under his winter coat. With a body scale of 2/9, he weighed in at 794 lbs., and had survived in a field with inconsistent forage, occasional water and, when finances permitted, he received cow feed. His owner had experienced financial hardship which made it impossible to perform routine maintenance or adequately provide the simple basics of shelter, water and a nutritional diet. At Prancing Horse, Buck quickly found himself center stage and under the wings of staff, volunteers, participants and parents, as everyone silently cheered his progress. Because Buck has very few teeth, he was put on a soaked feed diet with two 5-gallon buckets in the morning and two in the evening (and one additional for lunch if he ate all of his breakfast) plus orchard grass. His return to health was overseen by Julia, and our weekend feeder, Jordan Buchan, so our staff truly provided care 24/7. Within one month, Buck had gained close to 100 lbs. and today weighs in at 1,127. Buck has a strong following by those in our therapeutic horsemanship and veteran programs. Buck’s story resonates with many who have had or do have personal or physical challenges. One young cancer survivor, Timothy, has proclaimed his love for Buck. Many of the Wounded Warrior and Operation Red Wing participants are finding their way with the help of Buck. Buck has truly found his purpose in life and, at age 26, is where he is meant to be. While we experienced both heart break and successes in 2023, the story of Buck and his rehabilitation may be our biggest win of all. We championed him as he moved forward and cannot manage what his life would be like if he had not come to join our herd at Prancing Horse Farm. Learn more about Prancing Horse, Inc. here .

On 7/6/2015 we welcomed "Bud" into our sanctuary. Bud is a beautiful Draft/Cross that came from a very sad situation. One of the local barns had lost 21 of the 23 horses boarded there due to tainted grain. The bags came from the mill, but USDA testing found there was "ionophore-toxicity-monensin" in the horse feed. It is used as an antibiotic in cattle feed, but it is toxic/deadly for horses. At that time we got a call from the woman that owned Bud, and she asked us to take Bud because she couldn't afford to keep him after paying all of the Vet bills to try and save him. We spoke to our Vet who had been caring for the affected horses and he felt Bud had a chance. He was a bigger horse and he felt he may not have gotten as much of the tainted grain. However, Buds heart was weak from the toxins, and he would never be able to be ridden again. He had also developed a blind eye, however it did not hinder him in any way. When Bud first came he was not interested in anything, not people or feed. He had lost a lot of weight before he came to us but we knew that with a little time, we would be able to fix that. Here we are nine years later, he is 22 years old, and he runs the place. He loves little kids to older folks. He is truly a gentle giant. He likes to hang out where the people are, partly because he can scope out the snacks, but also because he loves all the attention he gets. He will gladly walk around with you, he has a kind, gentle spirit that wins the hearts of everyone. He is lovingly called "Hoover" because he tries to suck up all the treats he can. His health is good, he looks great, and most importantly he feels great. He is a wonderful ambassador because he is the perfect example of horses living in sanctuary that can't be ridden.

When we first met Buggie (a 15.2 Connemara/Arabian cross), he was an unlikely retiree in a field of older horses. Out of work due to the closure of another local therapeutic riding program, Buggie stood out to the retirement farm manager. She knew he had more to offer and called Sprout. We tried him in the field amidst galavanting horses and took him on the spot - his gentle and calm disposition was unrattled by his galloping herd and even though he was out of work, he quickly showed us his strong education as a riding horse. Buggie came to Sprout in 2013 and has served faithfully as a "Horse of Hope" since then. Now, at age 25, Buggie has taught thousands of lessons to our riders - especially teens and young adults. His calm nature radiates to everyone in his presence, both in and out of the saddle. He stands quietly for riders to mount using our motorized lift, has acclimated to the use of a Hippolib saddle that includes back and lap support, he loves trail rides, dressage lessons and popping over the occasional cross rail. Compassionate and kind, Buggie’s gentle spirit quiets a rider’s soul and his willing disposition gives riders wings! This year he underwent an intensive eye surgery and treatment for persistent corneal ulcers and stayed upbeat regardless of the amount of medication and stall rest. He showed tremendous patience and trust in his caretakers and has now returned to work to continue to serve his riders - now with goggles on! We think Buggie showcases the generous, kind and courageous spirit of our herd - which makes him the ultimate ambassador for Sprout!

Buttons, CTR's Equine Ambassador, is a Shetland Pony who has brought smiles, learning, and laughter to the hearts of thousands of people in and around Harford County, MD. She is a very small Shetland, so she cannot be ridden, but she is travel-sized so we have enjoyed taking her to library visits, senior centers, resource festivals, schools, and veterans' homes for almost 10 years. Through her story, and her gentle demeanor, she has helped CTR teach people of all ages and abilities how ponies and horses (like her) can help people on their journeys to recovery and healing.

Chance is a 23 year old chestnut Belgian Warmblood gelding who was imported from Europe at age 6 to compete as an “A” show hunter, including with former U.S. Olympic show jumper Reed Kessler. He joined the Bridle Paths team in 2014 following his transatlantic journey and a long and varied show career. Chance is an essential part of our adaptive riding, equine-facilitated learning, and equine-assisted psychotherapy work. Every day, he helps participants to take meaningful steps toward growth, learning, and healing, and to build authentic connections, in partnership with horses. He teaches all of us – staff, volunteers, and participants alike – how to conduct ourselves with dignity, grace, humor, and gusto. During his nearly ten years at Bridle Paths, Chance has created deep and lasting bonds with many, many people. He has helped young children with attention challenges and sensory seeking behavior to build focus and empathy, and to move in purposeful and comfortable ways. He has taught riders the finer points of steering, posting, and lateral work. He has shown wounded veterans how to build a life of purpose in the face of obstacles and limitations. For teens with self-harming behaviors, he has normalized difficult feelings and helped teens to build clear communication and enhance authentic connection with family members. He has held space with trauma survivors who are working to regain confidence, clarity, and sense of self in a world that can be violent, demeaning, and overwhelming. Chance is able to adjust his movement and his engagement to meet each participant where he or she is, whether that participant is learning simply to be present and to trust, or is learning more advanced dressage skills. In the words of one participant: “Equine therapy is unlike anything else. It’s about bridging gaps and coming undone before you bridge those gaps, and it is deeply uncomfortable at times. It’s the furthest thing from transactional. I have formed an otherworldly connection with this horse called Chance. I think he’s saved my life." Learn more about Bridle Paths here .

Chrissy is the essence of everything an adaptive riding horse should be. She is our veteran 22-year-old Buckskin Quarter horse mare. For the past 15 years, we have witnessed this mare transform the lives of hundreds of individuals. Chrissy has been a part of every program here on the farm including our adaptive riding program, occupational, physical, and speech therapy services, and equine assisted psychotherapy. Chrissy is our herd member that is used for our most involved participants. She is the horse that teaches our most timid volunteers how to groom and lead. She is the horse that will NEVER lose a relay race game. She brings a smile to every person that walks in the barn with her silly faces and demanding neck scratches. She is protective of her people and fiercely devoted to the success of others. She is confident, curious, takes her job seriously, but isn’t afraid to have some fun when she’s “off the clock.” Many of us who have been part of the MTR family for over a decade don’t know the farm without Chrissy. She’s as much a part of this place as the land itself. Chrissy is a remarkable treasure to the industry, and we are forever grateful she chose Maryland Therapeutic Riding as her home.

Griff (Del Griffith) is a stunning 6yo off-the-track Thoroughbred gelding who arrived at ERAF having completed 13 starts on the racetrack. After finishing rehab and getting some time to just be a horse, Griff is currently retraining W/T/C under saddle. This big (16.3 HH), gorgeous mover can go in any direction! He’d be a wonderful mid-level eventer, hunter/jumper, or dressage partner. Griff is incredibly impressive and oh-so-handsome, his abilities are endless, he has a great mind and a strong spirit, loves to work and moves beautifully. A favorite in the barn, Griff has an expressive personality to match his moves and is best suited for an experienced handler to continue his training and take him on to his next chapter.

Fire holds a special place in the heart of Equine-Assisted Therapies of South Florida (EATSF). At just 3 years old, Fire became the youngest horse ever welcomed into our program. He was rescued and adopted into EATSF in 2007. With no formal training and a spirited personality, Fire’s early days were filled with challenges, but also with incredible promise. Our dedicated team saw that potential and worked patiently to help him discover a new purpose and a brighter future. Now, more than 18 years later, Fire has grown into an extraordinary and beloved member of our herd. Standing at 15.1 hands tall, this striking chestnut Quarter Horse has served our participants in both unmounted horsemanship and therapeutic riding sessions. His calm presence, gentle demeanor, and willingness to connect make him a favorite among riders and volunteers alike. Fire has touched the lives of hundreds of individuals with special needs, helping them grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. His impact extends beyond the barn. He has proudly carried participants to blue ribbon victories at the Broward County Special Olympics each year. He enjoys his place in the spotlight, alongside his partner. It is with great pride that we selected Fire to be our Horse Ambassador for the EQUUS Foundation. His journey from rescue to role model reflects everything our mission stands for: healing, hope, and incredible potential. Learn more about Equine-Assisted Therapies of South Florida here .

This dapper gentleman, with his good friend Sophie, is Freckles a red roan Pony of the Americas gelding. Social and upbeat, you just want to plant one on that little fuzzy face. We don't know exactly how old he is, but think he predates the invention of the wheel and some dinosaurs. Freckles was a hardship surrender by an owner who could no longer care for him. He has low vision, Cushing's syndrome and arthritis, and requires medication for these disorders. He bears these infirmities with the usual Appaloosa stoicism, but for this reason he is unlikely to find an adoptive home, and will remain at the rescue to live out his life in safety and dignity. However, he is a firm favorite with all the volunteers, and particularly the younger ones, because he is a Master Instructor of children in Horse Handling 101. He is a much loved member of the White Bird community, and we are honored to offer him as our Equine Ambassador. Learn more about White Bird Appaloosa Horse Rescue here .

Handsome Hank is an approximately 14 year old roan gelding of unknown breeding who was born with a congenital condition called wry nose. Hank's unique looks generate a lot of questions from people, which makes him the perfect advocate and Equine Ambassador for our program, which specializes in misunderstood and unrideable horses. Through Hank's story, we can help the world understand the value of horses beyond their utility for riding or work. Hank has a sad history with a happy ending. Years ago, he was found by animal control officers in California, abandoned and tied to a post in a shopping center parking lot. From there, he went to live with a rescue that later closed, and now he is in permanent sanctuary with us at Red Feather. We believe that he was used as a "Dancing Horse" in his younger days, which unfortunately caused him a lot of anxiety around humans. The rescue that had him prior did not have the training resources to assist Hank, so our first order of business was to use natural horsemanship methods to work with him and earn his trust. In short time, Hank was standing for the vet and farrier and has become a quirky (and loved) fixture in the Red Feather barn. People love Handsome Hank and his story of overcoming adversity, and we recognize his unique ability to show horses as being individuals, worthy of our respect and protection.

Honey is a 18-year old Quarter Horse and she is one of the original herd members at Whispering Manes Therapeutic Riding Center. Adopted from a rescue, Honey came to our program thirteen years ago as young, green mare. It quickly became evident that what she lacked in experience she made up for with kind heartedness. One of the founding members of the herd, Honey is involved with every new program we introduce. Her calm, quiet demeanor makes her uniquely suited for this type of work. At about 15 hands, she is both large enough and small enough to make every rider feel comfortable. One of Honey’s greatest achievements is working with riders who use wheelchairs. When we started a program with a local residence where everyone used a wheelchair, Honey was the first horse the participants met and rode. She was always patient and kind. Even when the riders had tight legs due to Cerebral Palsy, or held onto her mane too tightly because of nervousness, Honey stayed calm and reassuring. Honey also works with riders who have spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries. Standing patiently as the we use the mechanical lift to transfer riders from their wheelchair onto Honey’s back, she never flinches. Honey knows her job is important and the riders she carries trust her to take care of them. I know everyone says their horse is the best, but Honey embodies everything a therapeutic riding horse should be, she surely is one in a million!

We would like to nominate our fjord, Ivan, as our Equine Ambassador. From the time he arrived at Hands & Hearts for Horses, Ivan had big shoes to fill. He arrived in 2015 and was the third and final fjord that was donated to our program by Kim Nord, an avid rider from North Carolina. His predecessors, Teddy and Andrew, were cornerstones of our program since our founding. When Ivan arrived, he was used a more sport horse type home and didn’t quite know what to do with himself and the slower pace of life in a therapeutic riding program. It took him about 6 months to settle down and learn his new job, but from that point, he hit the ground running. With his stocky, short build, he was able to pack around heavier riders, specifically our most physically challenged riders. He did this with no complaint and even enabled our more unbalanced clients their first experience trotting. He also had a strong dressage background so he quickly was migrated into independent lessons and taught many riders how to trot off lead for the first time. He quickly became a barn favorite and was the go to for any lesson. A shining star moment in his career was at a Special Olympics Show in 2017. By the last day, every other one of the 7 horses that were at the show had been removed due to their behavior, except Ivan. He took 12 riders through their final day of showing, maneuvering through a trail pattern. This is just one example of Ivan’s mental fortitude and his exceptional nature as a therapeutic riding horse. In Sept of 2023, Ivan was diagnosed with DSLD. While we were devastated that he had to be retired from the riding program, he still is used in our equine assisted learning program to teach clients horsemanship skills. Ivan embodies the ideal therapy horse, one that knows how to care for his rider with a presence that is larger than life. Learn more about Hands and Hearts for Horses here .

Marley is an Icelandic horse who was donated to us at the age of 19 when his owner could no longer keep him. It took a year for Marley to work into the therapeutic program but we saw his potential. Now, 26, Marley is our "go to" horse for the most physically challenged riders. His small size and superior strength make it possible for volunteers to securely help riders who need extensive physical support. Marley also keeps us all laughing. He makes great faces and always connects with his riders, often tickling them with his upper lip. And that mane! At his age, he requires special shoes and medications to keep him healthy and comfortable. Learn more about Appalachian Therapeutic Riding Center here .

Meet Mitch! Mitch is a tried and true therapy horse at CATR, and he enjoys helping both students and volunteers improve their equestrian skills!

Mitch is also the PATH Region 3 Horse of the Year! Learn more about Charleston Area Therapeutic Riding, Inc. here .

Odell deserves as much tender loving care as we are able to collectively muster. Emaciated and lost, two Standardbred horses were found wandering the streets of Homestead, never to be claimed by a rightful owner. Rescued from the streets by SPCA, Odell and Ranger as they are now named, are being rehabilitated at the SPCA Rescue Ranch. As underweight as Odell was, she had what looked like an oddly full belly. When routine intake blood work was performed, we included a pregnancy test. Low and behold, Odell is “in foal”. Odell’s rescue turns out to be a “pay it forward” rescue and is in fact a 3-horse rescue not 2. Her foals anticipated arrival month is February 2025.

Who is visiting my pasture? Sabu is our ambassador as he is our official greeter for our at-risk youth program, coming over to the gate when the bus from the detention center pulls in the driveway. Sabu helps our inner-city kids feel comfortable around horses, and always gives them the confidence they need to overcome their trauma. As a rescue, Sabu had to overcome starvation and abuse, with his background just as painful as their own. He directly identifies with the teens he works with, and he makes them feel safe, helps them to identify their emotional trauma, develop resilience, and with the help of the staff they find healthy coping strategies in a new and experiential way. Without our official greeter, I do not believe the youth would have such successful outcomes! Learn more about Brook Hill Farm here .

Sammy is a miniature horse who came from a kill pen to HERD Foundation in 2018. He was insecure and highly dysregulated. As a result of being in the herd and in our programs, he is now more left brain and is the protector of other horses; he has a special bond with Cinnamon, another miniature horse. He is also more confident and loves to help people connect. Sammy is essential in our programs and is even Known in the community. Learn more about HERD Foundation here .

Thunder is a 21 year old Tennessee Draft gelding that's been at our sanctuary since early 2022. Not only is he super handsome, he's the epitome of a gentle giant. Thunder is loved by all who visit, big and small. He reminds experienced horsemen why they love horses, and helps beginners fall in love with horses. We are thrilled to have his big heart and kind spirit at our sanctuary and hope to have several great years to come as Thunder lives out his golden years with us.

Most of our horses came as a retired horse from another job. Trader did not, he was used as a down payment for a truck, then the car dealership donated him to us. He was only four years old when we received him. Like most of us that get involved with therapeutic riding, he fell in love with it. For 20 years he has carried riders of all ages and sizes around the arena and on trails. He has never complained or failed his job of protecting his rider and helping achieve their goals. He is the go-to horse for us, never letting us down. Learn more about Horsepower, Inc. here .

While all of our horses are superstars, we recently recognized "Yogi" (AKA Color Me Blue) as Loudoun Therapeutic Riding's Horse of the Year. He truly represents the best of the best. Yogi, a 23 year old quarter horse, has an impressive bio & is greatly enjoying “retirement” at LTR. Before he became a member of the our herd, Yogi had a long and illustrious career as a fox-hunter, event horse and pony club mount, and in 2016 he won the JR North American Field Hunter championships. And In case you were wondering about his cute little teddy bear ears (hence the name Yogi) he was foaled on the range in South Dakota in March and it is VERY cold out there...so you can just guess what happened! But more important than any of these accolades & achievements is his kind, gentle and generous spirit. He consistently does his best & readily connects with his humans. The words of a student, who shared this about his time spent with Yogi each week, really sum it up – When I am at the barn with Yogi, I FEEL CALM, RELAXED & PROTECTED. WHEN I LEAVE, I FEEL ACCOMPLISHED & I FEEL PROUD –– thank you, Yogi. Learn more about Loudoun Therapeutic Riding Foundation, Inc. here .

Meet Zillow, a 20-year-old pony from Days End Farm Horse Rescue (DEFHR), a non-profit equine welfare organization based in Woodbine, Maryland. Since its establishment in 1989, DEFHR has been dedicated to "ensuring quality care and treatment of horses through intervention, education, and outreach on a national scale." The equines that come to DEFHR are victims of abuse and neglect, seized by animal control agencies in the mid-Atlantic. These horses require specialized critical care, rehabilitation, and legal representation. Zillow arrived at DEFHR in late 2022 from Ohio as a severe neglect case. He had been locked in a barn for years, standing atop feet-high piles of his own waste. Of the 16 horses impounded, more than half did not survive the horrific neglect they suffered. Zillow was one of the lucky ones. In the initial months of his healing journey, Zillow had to relearn how to be a horse. Once his immediate health concerns were addressed, DEFHR trainer Leigha Schrader, began working with him. Zillow, fearful of humans and previously a stallion with little correct handling, needed to overcome many fears. The first few months of training involved the basics like picking up his feet, touching his hind legs without him kicking out in fear, being caught, and leaving the herd without extreme anxiety. Through this, Zillow slowly rebuilt his connection to humans. Around the same time, Leigha tragically lost her liberty training companion, DEFHR Equine Ambassador Vinni the Mini. One day, while round penning Zillow in preparation to start him under saddle, he suddenly and without being asked, came to Leigha and began offering the most beautiful liberty circles. This marked the beginning of their joint healing journey. Leigha’s heart started to heal from the loss of Vinni, and Zillow began to trust humans again. Zillow continues to grow in leaps and bounds. Every time he offers something new, Leigha is humbled by the incredible capacity these animals have to forgive and embrace their second chances. Today, Zillow has taken the baton from Vinni and continues his legacy of educating and showcasing the resilience of rescue horses and their ability to thrive beyond cruelty and neglect. While Zillow remains a permanent resident at DEFHR to teach others about horses, the other horses in DEFHR’s care are in various stages of recovery and will move on to retraining and rehoming. Your gift today, inspired by Zillow’s story, will help support the 120 horses we shelter on average each year. Thank you for supporting this important work!
