Meet The Teachers

Cricket is 7 years old. He is playful and silly and you will often catch him trying to convince some of his horse friends to play with him in the pasture. For being quite young, Cricket is very calm and very sweet. Cricket excels working with people during Equine Assisted Learning sessions and will quickly bond with the person he is paired with.

He is a sensitive guy and helps others to learn how to regulate emotions and energy. Cricket teaches people all about how to find balance.

Moon is a quick walking, excited, little 9 year old. She loves to run and go out on trail rides! You can see her happily running up and down the pasture hill and playing every day.

Moon did not always experience kindness and care in her life, and has come a long way since she arrived. She is now very healthy, happy and the first one to meet you at the gate.

Moon has learned a lot, and taught a lot about trust and perseverance!

Gypsy is 8 years old and a sweet, soft soul. She has also spent a lot of time at Freedom Equine learning. When she first arrived she did not know a whole lot about being a horse. Now she takes people on adventures into the forest on trail rides, enjoys spending time with all different kinds of people in Equine Assisted Learning sessions and therapeutic riding lessons. Gypsy is a hard worker and she wants to please. She is a very relaxed gal and she likes to move through the world at a slow steady pace. Gypsy teaches us to slow down, appreciate and enjoy each moment.

Mr.Snipes is everyone's best friend. There isnt one thing not to love about Snipe's gentle giant nature. You will often see him with our smallest riders on his back, being mindful to take the greatest care of them. Mr. Snipes LOVES treats! He will sniff them out of any pocket. He is a big boy with the softest personality. He is 21 years old but you would never guess his age, he is young at heart and loves to get out on the trail or play in the arena with some pals. Mr. Snipes knows a lot about the value of a herd and supporting each herd member whether you are in the lead or not! 

Gunner is our baby and newest addition to the herd. He is quite an amazing guy at just 6 years old he trusts so willingly he will follow his people through anything. Gunner is confident, brave and hardworking. He is happy to lead or be led, his easy going nature makes him an amazing addition to our herd. Anyone who meets Gunner will agree his confidence is infectious and helps us all to feel a little more confident.

Halloween is the joy deliverer. 

Hal's curious, sometimes mischievous, playful nature can make a stone smile. He is only 9 months old so he is still learning a lot himself!

Hal loves to run, play with his pal Bandit, and play with his oversized exercise ball- yup. 

Once you meet him, you won't be able to think of Hal without a little smile. 

By far the gentlest team member. Spud has the the softest, most gentle personality, he is never in a rush or pushy. He politely waits his turn for pets, or treats of dinner. He is Hal's half brother and is 3 years old. He loves his donkey friends. You can catch spud grooming Hal or having fun wrestling. Spud is the perfect partner for someone who is new to equine supported services with his kind approachable nature.
