Bo, Hippotherapy horse

Bo Bay “Bo” This 22 year old Arab gelding took National Halter Class Champion in 1990. Since that time, he has experienced life as an equine partner to both individual owners and barns as a schooling horse. He met Amy in 2005 and they began an ever-evolving therapeutic partnership, each learning from the other daily. Bo is steady, very responsive to his handler, and a favorite of many at FRH.

Teddy, Hippotherapy horse

Teddy Bear is a 22 year old Dutch Warmblood with a colorful past. Teddy has been used as an equine partner to the mounted police, to private owners as a hunter/jumper, and prior to his work at FRH, he was a gentle partner to a small riding academy, teaching beginners in basic equitation. We partnered with Teddy in 2005 and he is our “gentle giant”. Teddy is beloved by all.

Cory, Hippotherapy horse

Cory is a 20 year old Thoroughbred. He came to FRH in spring of 2009 from the CU riding team program, where he served a number of riders from beginner to advanced. Cory is a lover of work. His age prevents him from the jumping circuit and the demands of the IEA (interscholastic equestrian association), but he is a big fan of hippotherapy classes and is interested and curious about the clients who use him.

China, Hippotherapy horse

China is a 12 year old Arabian mare who came to us from a small riding academy in July 2006. She is sweet, sassy, and has been specially trained in Parelli natural horsemanship. She is a perfect partner for FRH in size and temperament. She is on a diet, so no treats, please!!

Robin, Hippotherapy horse

“Behold A Robin” aka “Robin” is an 8-year old registered gelding with APHA. He had a small stint as a cow-pony which instilled in him an incredibly driven work ethic. He loves to please, has a sweet temperament and really enjoys his clients.

Missy, Hippotherapy horse

“Lil Missin Spot” aka “Missy” is a 6-year old registered breeding stock mare with APHA. She came to FRH with little experience as a 2 year old and is progressively working her way into the program. Missy loves human partners and is learning to RESPECT them through intensive training. Specifically, Missy went through Parelli training in September 2009 and continues to be incorporated into the program with appropriate clients.
