Granny Gray
Breed: Arab
Age: 23
"I may be gray, but I’ve still got game. I’m Granny Gray — the silver fox of the barn. All the handsome boys here? Yeah… they’ve got a soft spot for me. My riders do too, and honestly, who can blame them? I’m the kind of granny who will get down at bingo night, win the jackpot, then head home to bake cookies for the grandkids. At roughly 23, I’ve been there, done that, and probably looked fabulous doing it — I used to be a show horse, after all. These days, I’m a therapy horse, and I take my job seriously. I’m careful, steady, and gentle with my riders… but don’t let the gray hair fool you. I’ve still got plenty of sparkle.”
Max
Breed: Drum Horse
Age: 16
"Big horse, bigger heart. I’m Max — the largest, most majestic draft horse at HOH, and yes, I know I’m a whole lot of horse. But don’t be fooled — underneath all this size is a happy-go-lucky goober who just wants to make friends. I move slow, I carry myself like royalty, and I make even the most nervous riders feel safe up here. I’ve been to more parades than I can count (and looked fabulous in every single one) and I used to pull a cart like it was nothing. These days, I’m a therapy horse through and through — and oh yeah, I also snagged Horse of the Year. No big deal… well, except for me. I’m kind of a big deal.”
Miss Donk
Breed: Quarter Horse
Age: 27
"Don’t let the name fool you. I’m Ms. Donk — the oldest and wisest soul at HOH, rocking a fabulous 27 years young. My name and my adorable long ears might make you think I’m a donkey, but surprise — I’m 100% horse, baby. I’m as sweet as they come and take extra special care of my riders, but don’t think my age slows me down. Oh no… I can out-walk just about anyone here. When I get moving, you’d better be ready to keep up! I’m living proof that age is just a number — and I plan on staying fabulous and fast for many more years to come.”
Rocco
Breed: Haflinger
Age: 21
"Whoa… chill, dude. I’m Rocco - your friendly little Haflinger with full-on surfer dude vibes. I’m chill, I’m laid-back, and I’m down for whatever — arena work, trails, you name it. I’ve been at HOH for quite a while now, building special bonds with so many different riders. Before this, I was a 4-H horse, so I know my way around the ring and the show pen. These days, I’m all about being a steady, kind therapy horse who’s just as happy to work as I am to hang out. Life’s all about good vibes, soft hay, and the occasional sunny nap.”
Poncho
Breed: Andalusian/Peruvian Paso Cross
Age: 13
"If it’s fun, I’m in. I’m Poncho - your short, stocky, built-for-adventure bestie. I’m an Andalusian/Peruvian Paso cross, which basically means I was born to have flair. I love everything exciting — swimming, sprinklers, cows, trails… you name it, I’m game. I’m stubborn in the best way, always challenging my riders to step up their game and be better horsemen. I’ve got energy, love, kindness, and a never-ending itch for the next big adventure. If you’re looking for a quiet, predictable day… you might want to pick someone else. But if you want the ride of your life? Saddle up, partner.”
Remi
Breed: Paint
Age: 19
"From the beach to the barn. I’m Remi — I used to strut my stuff on beach rides, soaking up the sun and making tourists feel like real cowboys. Now, I’m living the therapy horse life, and let me tell you… I’m still having just as much fun. I’m a total people-lover with a goofy streak a mile wide, and I’ve got enough personality to fill the whole arena. I adore my pasture mates and love to horse around with them (literally). In sessions, I help my riders learn to be calm and relaxed — because I’m honest with my energy, and I mirror whatever they bring me. Basically, I’m your friendly, sun-soaked, big-hearted goofball.”
