WE LOVE AND RESPECT OUR HORSES
There are 6 horses currently in the Horsefeathers program which have all been donated. When Horsefeathers accepts a horse, we take responsibility to care for it for life. All of the horses are at liberty in the pasture when they’re not working and are never stalled unless they’re being fed or waiting for a class. Our horses are an integral part to the operation of Horsefeathers, without them we could not help the students that come through our gates.
Aspen
Gender: Mare
Color: Chestnut
Breed: Quarter Horse
Aspen is the best lead class horse ever! We use her for back riding classes as well as lead classes. She can tell time – when 30 minutes have passed in the arena, she tries to stop in the center to let us know class time is up.
Grace
Gender: Mare
Color: Palomino
Breed: Kentucky Mountain Walking Horse
Grace was donated in October of 2017 from a gal who taught lessons on her for a few seasons. Prior to that, Grace was used as a surrogate mare helping many foals in the Weatherford area. She is kind, gentle and a great teacher for both independent and lead classes.
Pretty Boy
Gender: Gelding
Color: Black & White
Breed: Tennessee Walker/Quarter Horse
Pretty Boy was donated in November of 2017 from a family who suffered loss in the Houston floods that year. He is super smooth to ride and is in training to become an independent class therapy horse.
Star
Gender: Mare
Color: Brown & White
Breed: Spotted Gaited Walking Horse
Star was donated in October 2018 from a gal who did many miles of trail-riding on her. She is a great independent class horse and is in training to become a lead class horse. Her markings are very different from one side to the other and one of her eyes has blue in it.
Zeevah
Gender: Mare
Color: Gray
Breed: Arabian
Zeevah is very willing and gentle. She can do either lead classes or independent classes. She’s dainty but tough and loves to be groomed and bathed.
Skeeter
Gender: Gelding
Color: Sorrel
Breed: Mini Paint
Skeeter came to us after being rescued from being put down due to a really bad case of founder. He’s a great pony who surprised us all with his cheery little antics once his feet were fixed. He can only carry 70 pounds max (rider & tack) due to his size.
