MAGGIE

Maggie, Mags, The Magster, Miss Maggie,  passed away peacefully under her shade tree in August 2020.  She and her brother Sven were two of RED's first therapy horses, starting back in 2010. She was the first horse for countless kids and love every minute with them. She had the best horsey sniffs and would completely inhale her sweet riders at the end of each session. 
Picture
She was the only horse to win Horse of the Year twice and probably has the most blue ribbons from Round-Up.   Oh how we love our Maggie and will miss her dearly, thank you for the Memories!

"Oh Bella" tried and true. With a heavy heart we said goodbye to Bella in July 2020.  She came to us in 2010 just before our first Round-Up and has been a vital part of RED ever since. We can't count the number of kids who had their first ride or did their first "trick" on her and she loved them all.  Bella did Bella, she loved her kids and her trail rides and not much else mattered to her.  Thank you Bella for all of the memories!

Each horse that comes to us, comes to us for a purpose. Griffins purpose was to share his love of life with all he met. He had a very special  understanding for patience and a personality that was joyous and confident. He met some of our very timid first time riders and was able to give them the confidence and security that they needed to perform at their best.

​He is missed dearly by his family and everyone here at RED. Thank you for the memories sweet guy!
