Meet our Partners

Picture
Bonny
Bonny is a Haflinger Mare, she is approx. 18 years old. We believe that Bonny is Lilly's daughter. Her short but stout body offers riders  a comfortable ride. Bonny is what we like to call very "forward", which means she has a fast walk.   This is very beneficial for many participants.  She has a wonderful personality and  loves to snuggle with her riders.

Chinook 
Chinook is a 25 Year old quarter horse gelding. Chinook has become an amazing partner to our program and already touched the lives of so many. While he may not be the get up and go kind, he is a fan favorite. Chinook LOVES trail rides and can be found most days out on the trails with his owner. Chinook also likes when you talk to him and if you listen carefully you might just hear him answer back! We are so blessed to have Chinook as a part of our Yellow Horse family.

Ella
Ella is a 19 year old pony. She is new to Yellow Horse but already a valued family member. Ella was a hunter jumper pony and has seen much of the USA! She is so well behaved and already teaching so many of our participants how to ride independently. Whether the lesson requires two side walkers and a leader or an independent riders she is ready for anything! She listens, cares for her riders, and loves meeting new friends! We are so happy to have her apart of our herd.

Lilly
​Lilly is a Haflinger Mare, her age is estimated at about 28 years old. Lilly is what we like to call "bomb" proof. Lilly is a very important member of Yellow Horse. She is calm, quiet, relaxed and an awesome confidence builder! She is a sweet girl who is just happy to have a job to do!

Lomur
​Lomur is a 24 year old Icelandic Pony. Lomur came to us and within a few short days showed just how valuable he is to the program. He has become a quick fan favorite. With his unique gait he provides a lot of input for our riders and engages them throughout the entire lesson. We are so happy to have him apart of our team!

Meg 
Meg is our 19 year old Percheron Mare. Meg is a major attribute to Yellow Horse and our Veterans program. Meg is a big horse with a big personality. She loves hanging out in the paddock and socializing across the fence with her fellow horsey friends. Meg is used in a lot of our team assisted lessons and with our veterans. She is a crowd favorite and a sweatheart.  

Picture
Millie
Millie is a 15 year old Haflinger Quarter Horse cross. Millie came to us from the Johnson & Wales Equestrian Program. Millie has turned out to be an amazing therapeutic horse. She will let you throw a ball, pick up rings or take a long trail ride. Millie and her best friend Bonny are known as the "dream team" here at Yellow Horse. They work so well together participating in walking races with large dice, going through obstacles, and waiting patiently as their riders learn the essentials of riding. Millie loves her hay and if your lucky, when you dismount, Millie offers a small nicker of thanks to her rider!

Penelope        
​Meet Penelope, or Miss P, as she is so adoringly called by our students and volunteers. This little 20 year old mare is so very kind and very sweet.  She helps even the most timid and fearful feel safe and sound. P loves to rest her little head against you for a hug. P is a huge part of our veterans program and a volunteer favorite.

Twix          
Twix is one of our "founding" therapeutic horses. He has been part of our herd since we began our program in 2014. He is an 24 year old Registered Quarter Horse gelding.  His background includes Reining and as a Western and English lesson & show horse. Twix is a very kind and gentle horse. His sensitive and instinctive nature makes him ideal for educating participants on all aspects of horsemanship. Twix is loved by all our students. Twix is even a movie star! See him in the  2015 release of  "Black Beauty" Directed by Daniel Zirilli and Starring Luke Perry.

Thank you for your wonderful Work!

The Billy Legacy 

Picture
Rest in Paradise to our beloved Sherman. You are greatly missed and will forever be in our hearts. Please consider donating to the Billy Legacy in honor of our fallen four hooved friends.

Yellow Horse would like to remember our beloved Billy. In his honor we have created the Billy Legacy Memorial & Retirement Fund. Please see our Donate Page to learn more. 

Billy was our very first therapeutic mini horse. He was an amazing confidence builder. He helped to start so many of our participants due to his wonderful personality, patience and sweetness. Many of our participants loved just hanging out with Billy, braiding his mane and tail, turning him into a unicorn, leading him through obstacles and just showering him with hugs and kisses. He will be greatly missed as he was such a large part of Yellow Horse, our YH Agility Team and as a best friend to so many.  Rest in peace our wonderful little guy.
