Horses

Dixie

At 13.2 hands, Dixie is the perfect pony.  A flashy, gray pinto mare, she is balanced and quiet with lots of personality.  She is a fantastic hippotherapy pony and perfect for our smaller riders. A veteran of the horse show circuit, Dixie knows her job and does it with grace.

Reba

Reba

A redhead with a big personality, Reba is QH mare.  At a sturdy, 15.1 hands she is a great size for large or small riders, can be ridden independently and does great on the lead.  Such a reliable girl!

Stella

Every equine assisted services program needs a Stella.  She does everything well and is unflappable.  Independent riders can canter her, and new riders can safely be left to figure out steering with Stella.

Posie

Posie

Posie (Mariposa) is our newest pony. She is a 2008 Arab/Andalusian cross. Posie has an energetic walk – great movement for our hippotherapy participants – and a lovely, smooth trot that makes learning sitting trot a dream for our adaptive riders.

Jimmy

A draft cross, Jimmy is 16.1 hands tall and loves to be groomed.  He is an ex-Amish horse who mostly pulled farm equipment before coming to Simple Changes.  Jimmy was trained to work in blinders – which help to cut out visual distractions – so he continues to wear them at Simple Changes.  Keeps his head in the game and he looks so dashing!
