Duncan is a 20-year-old dun quarter horse that is pretty special. He is one of HHK’s original program horses and he knows it! Duncan is great for riding over obstacles, teaching beginners how to ride, and the only horse that we have ever met that drags his feet returning to the barn.

Jackson is a 17-year-old flea-bitten grey quarter horse given to HHK by our farrier Joe Elliott. Jax loves to jump cross rails, ride around the barn, or work through various obstacles/patterns. He makes silly faces and loves when you feed him a carrot or two.

Nacoma is our newest equine assistant. She is donor sponsored by the Schmida family. Nacoma is a 28-year-old quarter horse that loves to be groomed and get her amazing mane and tail braided. Nacoma is awesome with kids and has had 6 of her own, even a set of twins!

Tommy is a 20 year old, 17 hand, Dutch Warmblood. He has melanoma masses under his ears that prevent him from wearing a bridle comfortably. We found that Tommy makes the PERFECT vaulting horse. He loves being surrounded by kids and working on the lunge line. Tommy is a flea-bitten grey so naturally he loves rolling in mud.

Big Ben is a 16-year-old, 17.2 hand, Dutch Warmblood. He was donated to us 3 years ago after having a show jumping career. Big Ben gives the best horse hugs. He loves to be groomed and told he’s handsome. His favorite pastime is eating hay and treats.

Jewels is a 21-year-old rescue mare. She was saved from a kill pen in Louisiana, then rehabbed and donated to us. Jewels thinks she is the Queen of the herd, but is a perfect trail horse. She loves having kids on her and going for barn walks.

Puzzle & Brandy are a mini horse dynamic duo! Where one goes so does the other! They were also donated to us from the Schmida family. These tiny ambassadors light up any situation and know how to make kids (and adults) smile. We will often take the minis out and about for different local events such as Steinbeck Day of …

Dutch & Crunch are the sweetest goats you will ever meet. They know how to make us laugh and really dislike when water falls from the sky. Dutch and Crunch love to go for walks, but aren’t so keen on putting their halters on. Their favorite food is horse grass hay pellets.
