Garfield
Born 2008, a Haflinger, 14.3hh. Being of the draft breed, he can handle adults as well as children in the ring. He also hails from Ohio and carries the WHF brand where he was also trained and purchased for HEARTS TRC.

Yaven’s Longo Chongos
Born 2009, is a Gypsy Horse gelding, standing 14.3 hands with beautiful ‘feathers’ and sometimes long mane (when he doesn’t rub it off!) Chongos is a beautiful black and white horse with a heart of gold. Young riders love when he reaches around with his neck and gives them a ‘gypsy hug’. He was graciously donated by Gypsy Rose Ranch in California. Thank you Lynn Strauman.

“D”
Born in 2001 in California. D is 16 hands tall and has been a lesson horse, trail horse, and show horse in his previous careers. D loves that his current job as a therapy horse allows him to get so much people time. He enjoys all the attention everyone gives him. D is owned by the Green family and is on loan to Hearts TRC.

Prince
Prince is a registered American Paint Horse. His registered name is White Water Mark. He was born in 2005. He has been a 4-H horse, a show horse, and a trial horse. Prince is on loan to Hearts TRC from Dougherty Farm in Mays Landing. He has stepped right up into the role of therapy horse.

Cisco
Born in 1999, is a Paint Horse, gelding, standing 15.3 hands. If you look closely you can see a steer head on his side amidst his brown and white coloring. Besides being ridden, Cisco is excellent in teaching riders ground work. He has a special gift for ‘reading’ his riders and helping them where necessary. Cisco is owned by Rindy Faust and Sue Adams and is on loan for lessons when needed.

Ben
Born in 1999, a Mountain Horse Gelding, 15hh. Owned by Rich Adams of Rolling Seas Farm. Ben loves to move fast with his gaited movement. He is great for those who cannot “post,” who want to keep up with the rest. His walk is very active giving great muscle input to all his riders.
