Horseplay Therapeutic Riding Center logo Our current stable:
  • Sunny. Quarter horse gelding, 15.1 hands, chestnut. Past career: trail horse. At 29 years, Sunny is Horseplay's elder statesman, and he's looking good! One of our riders refers to him as "you handsome devil," and while his nature tends more towards the angelic, we heartily agree that he's a handsome fellow!
  • Farina. Connemara mare imported from Ireland, 14.1h, flea-bitten gray. Past career: eventing pony. Twenty-five year old Farina has been with the program for approximately 10 years. She finds it difficult to concentrate if she detects carrots nearby.
  • Indy. Quarter horse mare, 15.1h, paint. Past career: western pleasure and ranch work. The newest addition to the Horseplay stable, Indy is an18-year-old who is fitting in nicely with our herd and the program. More than a few people were happy to have a more colorful addition to our stable!
  • Hillary. Oldenburg mare, 16.2h, flea-bitten gray. Past career: Competitive hunter-jumper and second-level dressage horse. Before joining Horseplay, Hillary was easily clearing jumps four feet high! At 19 years old, her patient nature makes her a wonderful therapy horse.
  • Cinnamon. Quarter horse mare, 14.2h, chestnut. Past career: Jill of all trades. 17-year-old Cinnamon joined Horseplay in 2007 and is quite a character. If you hear the sounds of splashing water, it's probably Cinnamon preparing to take a drink. If you hear nickering, it's probably Cinnamon asking for a treat!
  • Tia. Arabian mare, 14.2h, chestnut. Past career: backyard horse. A registered purebred, eight-year-old Tia may be our cutest equine. She's willing and calm, and loves people!
  • Dude. Appendix quarter horse gelding, 16.3h, dark bay. Past career: pleasure and backyard horse. Dude provides the height and stability we need for our taller riders. He's 12 years old and has a great disposition.
  • Deetz. Quarter horse cross gelding, 15.2h, bay. Past career: Racetrack pony horse. He's a patient nine-year-old who gets along with everyone—people and equines alike!

All the horses have been free-leased to the Horseplay program.

Of course safety is our primary concern, and we screen many horses before deciding which horse will be perfect for our program. Naturally the Horseplay horses are extra special in that they are comfortable around the props we use during sessions and are calm no matter what is happening around them.
