Dark Moon of Rohan
"Rohan" is a stunning brown Percheron / Thoroughbred cross.  Formally known as “Brownie” in his start on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, Rohan is the epitome of leadership, strength and intelligence.  He is the head of our herd, along with the lead mare, Grace.






Advanced Edition
Magic man "Dijon", is a gray Shire / Thoroughbred cross that melts everyone’s heart - he is quietly powerful, handsome, and deeper than the ocean.  Sometimes, I catch him with single horn I am certain he sports when we are not in sight.  Affectionately known as “Dijon”, he was born in New Jersey and was trained as a dressage horse before finding his love as our official nap leader!






Fairly Decked Out
A classic Appaloosa in appearance, “Jake” is a truth teller; he is a court jester that can speak the truth to the court with a smile on his face, and not get his head taken off!  His "decorations" are stunning and would make the Nez Perce proud.  His sense of humor is contagious. 







Aspen's Grace
“Grace” is a draft mare with a fiery red coat and a sweetness beyond words.  Born in Canada, she spent three years in Washington before coming to be with us.  She is an inspiration and an expression of pure beauty.







Count's Free Spirit
"Jewel" is a black Tennessee Walker mare with remarkable intelligence, sensitivity, and depth.  She is an integral part of our inter-species partnership.  Her spirit is a gift to us and rounds out the herd with joy and gratitude.








Black Forest Dream
"Forest" is a wonder of a soul and a dear of a horse.  He resembles a Standard Bred, but by the time you look into his eyes, it just doesn't matter.  He is a regal old man with a great deal to offer those who will open their hearts to listen.







High Sierra Sun
"Sierra" is beautiful - inside and out.  She is a registered Quarter Horse who has brought a wholeness to the herd.  She is generous, patience and kind.  We are grateful for her quiet wisdom and open heart. 

“I appreciate your willingness to

hold space for me to be "organic";

to evolve and to move slowly from

one shape to the next as it

becomes clear and feels right."

~EquiSpire Client
Just as each person has specific perspectives, gifts and life experiences, so does each animal.  And, we seek teachers with whom we are most comfortable, therefore, able to learn from most effectively. 

Our horse friends offer their widely varied personalities, styles and energy, ensuring you find a good fit for your style and learning opportunity.

If you want to get close to the horse,

you have to get close to yourself.

Then the horse can come to you."

Horses make decisions,

based on how they FEEL,

not based on what they think.”

In their innocence and wisdom,

in their connection to the earth

and its most ancient rhythms,

animals show us a way back to a

home they have never left.”
