Our Un-Sung Heros
The horses at Raemelton are as diverse as the students we service. These gentle, willing companions are specially selected for their temperment and conformation to withstand the rigors of our equine facilitated activities, while giving our students the confidence and strength to participate in this demanding sport. They come from all walks of life and range in age from 6 to the mid-20's. Each of our horses tells their story below.

Baci I'm Baci. My former life was as a halter and English show horse. While showing was quite exciting, my days are now filled with the excitement of students smiles and laughter. I really enjoy helping the students by being a quiet and loving stead. Thank you Amanda Lord for sponsoring my feed this month. |

Barney Hi, I'm Barney. I'm a 10 year old Haflinger that was donated by Laura Walters. Like most Haflingers, my favorite past-times are playing with my pasture buddies, removing halters from un-suspecting herd mates and resting. Raemelton has given me a chance to use my outgoing personality to lift the spirits of many. Thank you Scott and JoAnn Taylor for enabling me to put smiles on people's faces for another year. |
