Our Horses
We are very proud to introduce our equine partners. These horses are thoughtful, patient and kind. We are grateful for their honesty and the love they provide.
DOMINO
Domino is an Appaloosa/Draft Horse who quickly earned the nickname “Delightful Domino” the moment she arrived on our farm. She is very sweet and cuddly on the ground, and she’s a dream to ride. Everyone comments on her smooth gaits and calm disposition. Domino seems to enjoy just about everything about being in our program, especially the treats at the end of her lessons. The moment her rider walks over to the treat bin, she offers the softest little whinny that will melt your heart.
MIRACLE
Miracle's glowing golden coat and silver-gray mane make jaws drop. When you approach Miracle's paddock, without fail she will always offer the cutest little "hello" in the form of a soft whinny and greet you at the gate. From walking on lead with the smallest riders, to floating over stadium courses like a true professional, Miracle is the definition of an all-around unicorn pony.
BEN
Ben is a 15.1 hand Connemara and is better known as the class clown of the group. He might be one of the oldest horses on the farm, but he is young at heart and makes everyone around him laugh. Ben has a background in eventing and dressage, and he now enjoys his days being ridden and loved on by Wildflower riders of all ages.
SHY
Shy (Quarter Horse) is a fan favorite here at Wildflower, and it's not just because of her beautiful blonde coat and golden locks. It's because she is as patient and kindhearted as they come. Shy can do it all. She will trot at exactly 1 mile an hour in a lesson with an itty-bitty beginner rider one day, and then soar through a cross country jump course without batting an eye the next. We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have this lovely lady at our barn.
PI
Pi is a 2006 Percheron/Warmblood cross with the kindest disposition. She has impressive dressage background and has competed up to third level. Pi is a solid 16 hands tall but she doesn't know this, she thinks she could easily fit into your pocket. Pi simply adores all her riders, and often sneaks in a power nap while being brushed on the crossties.
SNAPPLE
Everyone who rides Snapple falls in love instantly! Snapple is an Arabian/Quarter Horse and he’s cute as a button. He is straightforward with a delightful little trot, and he adores being around people. Snapple loves water and he especially enjoys splashing around in our baby pool on hot days.
In memory of Andy
Andy was the founding member of Wildflower's herd, and is the reason Wildflower has been thriving. Almost every single rider in our program has ridden Andy. He supported the riders in our therapeutic program when they needed a safe and steady horse; he instilled pride in our riders as they performed their first trot off the leadline; he took our riders confidently over their first cross country jumps. He left this world surrounded by his four Wildflower moms, whose hearts are left completely shattered by his departure. He left us way too soon, and we will always be grateful to him for filling our hearts with love and joy.
