Horsefeathers Therapeutic Riding, NFP
Breathe Deep, Seek Peace, Ride Hard
"Horsefeathers is such a joyous place, getting up in the morning knowing you're going to be with horses is what I've wanted to do all my life - a dream come true!"
"I like trot-trot because it's fast and I like up-downs!"
"I like trotting because of how fast it is. I love the feeling of how tall I am on a horse. Ice and Poco are my favorites."
“Riding is number 1, not number 2.”
"Riding has greatly improved my son's hand-eye coordination and balance. Because of this, he is now able to ride a bike and play video games, things that every little boy his age should be able to do."
"I love horseback riding. These big, gentle animals are my friends. They know my scent and they know my voice when I call their names. Riding on Ice, Poco and Tia makes me happy. I like to brush them and give them treats like peppermints. I have been riding since I was 12. I hope I can ride for a long, long time."
"I like cantering because I'm getting really good at it and stronger. I like circling around corners, it is much fun, and I sometimes like to do it at the trot"
"Riding has opened me up and I'm not as scared. It has helped my balance a lot, and I am more positive about myself."
"My favorite thing is up & downs at the trot. Big Red is my favorite horse because he was dressed up as a pirate for Halloween & he is stubborn like me."
"Riding has helped strengthen the trunk. She's like a jack-in-the-box, she now has the strength to sit up and stay up under her own power, which she could not do before. She really enjoys riding too."
"Volunteering with Nick and the horses doing therapeutic riding has been the love of my life for almost 10 years. Working with the crew at Horsefeathers --- four-footed and two-footed alike --- is as therapeutic for me as for any of our riders."
"I like trotting and Tia the horse is my favorite."
"I love all the horses."
"I like riding Elsie because we get along so well together."
"I like to trot-trot because it's bouncy and it makes me happy!"
"I like trotting - bouncy trot and up down trot"
"My favorite thing to do is trot, because it's fast!"
"I like riding fast!"
"Horseback riding so much fun. Good day. I like to trot-trot-trot and go fast."
"I like trotting the very best because I'm doing something instead of sitting. I feel like I am able-bodied and free."
"I like trotting and going fast, it's exhilarating. The people at Horsefeathers are loving and caring souls."
I am Meika. I am 4 years old and my best horse is Red Rover. He has his own stall, which he sometimes shares with his baby brother horse, Red Rover Baby. He shares his treats with his baby brother. I share my treats, especially candy canes with Red Rover.
I love Rover. I ride Rover. Sometimes I get off him, sometimes I keep riding him. He is very brave. Everyone loves Red Rover. Red Rover gets lots of treats.
