Vote for Horse of the Year

​RED Arena horses are extra special!  They are trained to accept all the fun tricks our riders do and the wild games we play that would send a normal horse running.  Not only do they tolerate balls flying, being dressed up, deer on the trail, chain saws & cement trucks around the arena, our loud cheering and clapping... they love their job and LOVE their riders. Not every horse can be a therapy or lesson horse here, only the best of the best with big hearts can make the cut to be a RED Arena horse. 
Show your support for these amazing horses by donating to “Horse of the Year”.
The funds raised support horse care for the next year. 
​The horse with the most donations wins a beautiful flower sash, bouquet of carrots and bragging rights!
