Meet the Herd
All three of our horses — though very different in age, breed, and personality — share an indescribable warmth and gentleness. They can be high-spirited and playful when joyful, yet they consistently show up as solemn, majestic, thoughtful, and caring beings. Highly aware and present, they create a non-judgmental space where participants feel truly seen and supported.
We are actively building our herd and look forward to welcoming additional equine partners soon.
Fiona: Fiona is our sweet 10-month-old Icelandic filly. Small in stature but big in heart, she carries the classic Icelandic traits of hardiness, intelligence, curiosity and a calm, thoughtful nature. Despite her young age, Fiona possesses a remarkable soothing presence that many find deeply comforting. She is gentle, observant, and eager to connect. Her quiet awareness and peaceful energy make her a wonderful companion for those seeking emotional regulation, mindfulness, and soft connection.
Aloysius: Aloysius is our spirited one-year-old colt, a striking cross between an Andalusian and a Friesian. Named after David’s father, he displays an impressive blend of curiosity, intelligence, and gentleness even at a young age. With his expressive eyes and flowing movement, Aloysius brings joy and lightness to the ranch. He is highly aware of his surroundings and remarkably attuned to human energy, often approaching participants with a calm, friendly confidence. His youthful enthusiasm reminds us that healing can include playfulness, growth, and new beginnings.
Delilah – “Big Mama”: Delilah is our 8-year-old Quarter Horse mare and the calm, nurturing matriarch of the herd. Affectionately known as “Big Mama,” she carries a grounded, wise presence that immediately puts people at ease. With her steady demeanor and gentle strength, Delilah has a remarkable ability to sense emotions and offer quiet reassurance. Participants often describe her as deeply comforting and motherly — a true anchor in our equine-assisted therapy programs.
