Introducing The Handi-Riders Horses

Horses used in Therapeutic Riding Programs are very special. Our horses at Handi-Riders are the true heroes of the program. They are the foundation of our "Therapeutic  Horseback Riding Program." These special horses are the very reason we are able to offer a safe and educational program. Handi-Riders maintains a herd of 8 to 10 horses. Our horses are mature mounts who bring their worldly experience to the programs. They are calm and willing to accept the teaching aids needed for challenged riders.

Jenna

Jenna came to Handi-Riders in 2005 after weaning her first foal. She is a stunning buckskin half-draft /quarter horse and stands 15.2 hands high. She is a calm and patient gentle giant, and takes her bigger riders willingly. Jenna is well liked among the more advanced riders also and really loves her grooming time. Thanks to Becky Gill we have this wonderful, kind mare.
