What we do – HEALING HOOFS

Meet the true heroes of the program

Sierra

Sierra is a 26-year-old sorrel (reddish-brown) Quarter Horse who has been part of our family since she was just a baby—only six months old! She grew up learning how to ride in rodeos and rope with a team, but now she has the best job ever: helping kids feel calm and happy. Sierra is a little bit spunky but super gentle and sweet. She LOVES to eat (especially oat bars—those are her favorite!). If you give her a choice between apples, carrots, or oat bars, she’ll always pick the oat bars every time. Sierra is 14-1/2 hands tall and always ready for some love.

Sugar

Sugar is a 19-year-old Quarter Horse who came to us after being rescued from a tough place. Now she gets to live her best life—relaxing, making friends, and being a gentle buddy for kids. She’s best friends with Sierra and loves keeping her company. Sugar’s favorite treat is a big, juicy red apple. She’s kind, calm, and such a joy to be around. She’s also 14-1/2 hands tall, just like Sierra, and she’s always ready for a hug and a snack.

Fidget

Fidget is an 18-year-old Quarter Horse who’s full of personality! He used to be a rodeo horse, but after an injury, he found a new job helping kids—and he’s great at it! Fidget is tall (16 hands!) and super smart. He’s always moving, always thinking, and once even untied 12 horses at a rodeo—yep, all by himself! That’s how he got his name, because he just can’t sit still. He’s silly, curious, and absolutely loves peppermint candy. Fidget may be a big guy, but he’s as gentle as he can be when he’s with the kids.
