Thunder
| Color |
Dark brown |
| Favorite Treat |
Carrots |
|
|
| He is the largest member of our horse team, and also one of the most reliable. He has a generous spirit and seems to understand the importance of his job. He shows great patience with all of us. His favorite part of the therapy session is getting a hug from the kids when they are finished. |

Mickey

Gray |
| Favorite Treat |
Carrots |
|
|
| He is our other pony but he doesn’t know he’s small. What he lacks in height he makes up for in personality. He’s quite the jokester – even coming into the office on more than one occasion – probably looking for treats! |

Huey
| Color |
Light brown |
| Favorite Treat |
Horse cookies |
|
|
| He’s one of our larger horses, and truly the sweetest one in the barn. Nothing upsets him and his calm “horsenality” has helped to calm many a child. Huey has such a willing attitude – he’d go anywhere and try anything to help the child on his back. |

Jessie
| Color |
Brown |
| Favorite Treat |
Carrots |
|
|
| She’s a sweet, quiet, gentle horse. She used to be an equestrian games pony, but arthritis forced an end to her career. But we have found that her enthusiasm for her job more than makes up for that. She works hard and has a lot of “go”. She is generously on loan to GHT by the Greiling family. |

Captain

Paint horse, brown and white |
| Favorite Treat |
Peppermints |
|
|
| He’s as solid as a rock and shows great patience with everyone. If a child is having a difficult time, he’s been known to stop on his own and just wait. He’s also quite clever and we never grow tired of watching him perform his “trick” to win a treat at the end of a session. |
