Although, he is technically not an official, practicing, therapy horse, he is THE horse that everyone absolutely loves to “catch a glimpse” of during their visits with our program!
At 5 years old and 17+ hands tall, this beyond gorgeous, Thoroughbred, race horse was quite impressive on the race track!
He is currently in training in the discipline of Eventing, which includes, Dressage, Cross Country and Stadium Jumping.

Hard Work IS WORTH IT!
A lot of hard work is going into this fabulous horse!
This big guy really is a sweetheart! He loves following us around and is always curious about everything we do! Nothing like a great big horse just casually following you around!
He is particularly exceptional in his Liberty training, which is a unique discipline designed to bring a horse a sense of freedom and safety without using any tack, including halters or ropes. Leo loves classical music played during this training and looks as if he is actually dancing while being worked!! He is incredible to watch working at this exercise!
This is Leo!
