CJ is a 25-year-old paint pony. He is a small guy with a huge personality. CJ loves the
attention he receives from volunteers and riders. His very favorite activity is the apple
bobbing we do in October. He has the fewest teeth, but knows how to get that apple
quickly!

Butter is a 15-year-old Haflinger. She joined the herd in November 2022, and immediately took charge. Although she had a stifle injury, she is very capable of all the moves we ask of her. She has a calm demeanor and loves people. She is curious, strong and solid. Nothing phases her. She has settled right in to her new role as a therapy horse.
Cookie is a 17-year-old Morgan/Haflinger pony. She is an adorable bay. Cookie enjoys
the games we play and the activities we do during lessons. She’s a great sport-always
looking in buckets and baskets. Cookie also looks forward to the end of lessons when
given her treat. That bowl is licked clean.

horse for several years. Paint is a mild-mannered gentleman who has found a special
place in the heart of one of the other horses when she came to join the herd. You will
see a spark in Betti’s eye anytime Paint passes. He will capture the hearts of riders as
well.
