Hooves for Harmony, Inc.
The real heroes!
We would love to introduce our team, the horses that make our program possible. Meet Mooch, Freyja, and Jack. We also tip our hats to our angels who have crossed the rainbow bridge to horse heaven. We will remember you always.
Mooch
Fjord Percheron Mix
Joined the team in 2024
Very versatile horse!
Mooch is owned by Morning Star Vaulters. He is a vaulting horse, competes in gymkhana events, is a star at parades, trail rides, and is generally just a huge loveable guy. He is a gentle giant, and is a valued member of our team. Thank you, Carolyn Conner for sharing him with us!

Jack
Jack is an affectionate, gentle horse who was not a fan of gymkhana. He has found his calling working with kids! He loves the attention and likes to show off his trick. He smiles on command! Thank you Marty McCowen for sharing this special guy with us!
Freyja
Norwegian Fjord
Joined our team in August 2021
We lease Freyja and are so grateful to be able to use her for rides! She is a gentle, kind soul who loves kids. She looks so much like our beloved Tanita, she has been a wonderful addition for our riders who would only ride Tanita! Thank you, Karen, for sharing her with us!
Our angels...
Shamrock deserves an extra special tribute. He was a Hooves for Harmony therapy horse for 21 YEARS. He was an extra special, gentle soul who helped countless children. More than once he put himself between a rider and danger to protect them. He was also a member of my family and is missed every single day. He was the ring bearer in my wedding and my best friend for half my life. He will always be in my heart.
Triscuit was beloved member of our team. She was small, but her heart was HUGE. She was a favorite with riders and volunteers. She didn't mind hard work and she loved attention. She is dearly missed. Thank you to the Diamond-Bayer family for sharing her with us!
Skip gave nearly ten years of his life to Hooves for Harmony. He was a wonderful therapy horse and a member of the family. He is dearly missed, and made a difference in the lives of many, many children.
Sisco spent the last five years of his life as a beloved Hooves for Harmony horse. Sisco was patient, kind, and loved children. He is sorely missed.
Rocky was Hooves for Harmony's very first therapy horse! He was a rescued from horrible abuse and had to be rehabilitated to trust people again. He spent 15 years working with children and connecting to people in a way that is hard to explain. He was cuddly and loved attention. He was loved deeply by many riders and volunteers. He will never be forgotten.
Tanita was a vaulting horse, summer camp horse, therapy horse with Hooves, and a favorite of HUNDREDS of children. Carolyn Conner, the coach of Morning Star Vaulters, was kind enough to share this gem with us. She is dearly missed.
