Holly:
Holly is a 6 year old Belgian / Fjord who is a wonderful mare with a docile, loveable personality. She is wonderful at lead line and great for the basic beginner riders.

This Anglo Arabian came to us from a world of endurance racing. He is a wonderful horse and is being used for most levels of experience.

This little Fjord has been with PARDS for many years. He is loved by all and loves everyone. EnCana is famous for his “Smiles” and has a true following of many of our riders.

Rainmaker:
Horse of the year in 2006, a long time Staff member loved by everyone who has come in contact with this wonderful Paint / Appaloosa.
Ernie:
A magnificent 23 year old Quarter Horse, Ernie is a big part of our public lessons. With our therapeutic clients, his kindness and gentle nature has made him a favorite friend of all his regular riders.
Dusty:
This registered grullo Quarter horse has become quite famous in our local paper by being regularly featured in PARDS articles. Dusty is our low maintenance diva - he just loves the paparazzi!
Fiddle:
His full registered name is Special Fiddle, and he is a 16hh liver-chestnut standard bred straight off the track! Even though he used to run for a living, he has become quite a horse of leisure here at PARDS.
Our Miniatures
Our two miniatures have made themselves right at home here at PARDS. They love the attention they get from everyone who comes through the gate. They were brought into our PARDS family to provide a grooming program for clients who may be nervous or intimidated by large animals and for our Equine Facilitated Wellness (EFW) Program. Although they are small in stature, their hearts are huge!
Hot Wheels:
A miniature bay, this feisty little character just loves his treats! He's a happy little guy who can be quite the funny clown with that cute smile of his.
Petunia:
This pretty little palomino miniature has a wonderful disposition and is a very sweet girl indeed! She's a gentle horse who just loves to have fun.
Feline Staff
Squeek:
A slightly chubby calico with a very demanding attitude. If she wants treats or attention it should be now!
Baby:
This orange tabby is the star of the barn and our top mouser. Loved by all, she is truly the baby.
