Meet the horses
Makayla
This is Makayla. We purchased Makayla from a Welsh Cob breeder, Goldhills Welsh, in central California. She is a section D Welsh Cob and was the first horse in our herd to start our equestrian therapeutic activities in the area of carriage driving. She is chestnut coloring with a fabulously long mane.
Jackson
Jackson is our newest program horse. He is a Morgan/Friesian cross. He is a gently giant. He is very gentle and playful. Recently, he decided to try his talents with our basketball obstacle.
JR
JR was acquired by Take the Reins through a grant provided by the Nashville Predators Hockey Organization. He is a sorrel Quarter Horse. JR is very sweet and enjoys his job as a therapeutic riding equine. He is gentle, patience and quite a looker to boot.
Dakota and Montana Red
Dakota and Montana Red are our miniature horses and are too cute not to love. Because of their small stature, they are great during ground lessons with our smaller participants. These two adorable equines are being taught to drive a small cart and can be used in unmounted lessons.
