Our Faithful Steeds

Willow
Mare | Registered Quarter Horse | 14.2 HH

Willow has quickly become everyone’s favorite after joining the program in 2023! She has a unique coat and striking eye color that draws attention from all, and with the sweetest disposition, it’s no wonder she is the most requested for any of the services we offer at Heroes on Horseback. Her background is in Western riding and has even spent some time in the show ring! Now she is a master in teaching our participants Natural Horsemanship and both English and Western riding. 

Dakoda
Gelding | Registered Quarter Horse | 16 HH

Dakoda came to Heroes on Horseback from Iowa and seems to love the Lowcountry. He is a gentle giant who attracts everyone who wanders up. His training has been mostly Western, but his lovely large gaits make him a favorite of our English riders. “Koda” is a favorite of our high schoolers and adults because of his tall size but gentle nature.

Navistar
Gelding | Thoroughbred | 16.3 HH

Navistar (Navi) is an “off the track” Thoroughbred horse and the tallest horse we have in the herd. Navi’s time on the racetrack was short lived, likely because of his laid-back attitude. While his demeanor was not ideal for the racetrack, it is perfect for our Therapeutic Riding program. Navi has become a big hit amongst our Veteran/Active Duty/First Responders due to his size and willingness to be in partnership with humans.. 

Jenna
Mare | Quarter Horse Cross | 14.3 HH

Jenna comes to Heroes on Horseback from a background in Western trail riding.  Jenna is a very willing and attentive partner and will come running when called. She is a good size for our younger and smaller riders as well as providing valuable ground training for our Veteran/Active Duty/First Responder program.
