Morgan came to Tina as a 2 year old from a client of Tina’s who had bought him at an auction. He had been brought into this world as a PMU baby (read more here), and through this client and Tina, he was given a new chance at life.

Morgan grew-up in a herd, learning the art of observation, dynamics of a community, and developing a strong sensitivity to the energy and needs of those around him. Morgan brings this experience into his relationships with riders, helping them heal and progress both on the ground and in saddle.

He is a herd leader. He has a strong, grounded energy and supports people through transitions. In fact, numerous people who have worked with Morgan have had a huge, positive life transition follow their time together.

Morgan is now eighteen years old, and is Tina’s main riding horse. Together they have trained up to third level dressage and have done low level eventing. He is a heart horse who attracts positive change, fast.

Petey (or “Peter”) is the newest member of the herd. He is a Fresian/Oldenburg/Paint, now about fourteen years old. Petey is an honest horse who wears his emotions on his sleeve.

As a young horse, Petey experienced a significant trauma: He was caught in a barn fire. This coupled with abuse from a prior herd meant he took some time to settle with his new family. But, now that he recognizes the safety they provide, he has grown quite attached. He looks up to Morgan as the herd leader, and the grounded energy Morgan brings has helped Petey to feel confident and secure in his new environment.

Because of his history, Petey has a strength in teaching others boundaries: What they need for themselves, and what they can honestly give to another. He helps those around him form healthy attachments and to recognize the bounds that keep these relationships positive and mutually beneficial.

He loves the herd, and loves his one-on-one time with the riders in his life; And evidently, is not one bit camera shy!

Ghomer is the elder of the herd: A quarter horse, now approximately thirty years old. He originally came to Tina’s in-laws as a horse for their children (Tina’s nieces), in search of a relaxing retirement life as his prior owner was going away to University and wanted him to have an attentive, loving home in this next phase of his life.

Like Morgan, Ghomer has also lived in a herd (on a large ranch in the U.S.). He is very sensitive, but can hold his ground well. He can appear passive, but is not. He knows his boundaries and communicates them in an assured and graceful way (except for at feeding timer - that’s when he can be a little pushy with his food).

His age and wisdom make him a wonderful horse for those who may be more nervous. He has a quiet demeanour and a knack for bringing calm into seemingly chaotic situations.

Carson is a thirteen year old Standardbred who was originally bred by Tina’s husband’s uncle. He had been in the racing circuit but didn’t do well as he was too slow. When their uncle passed, Carson became one of the family horses.

He is full of life and a complete lover boy. He will play coy, but ultimately he wants all of your love and attention and if you give it he will graciously accept it. He is deeply connected to the herd and has familial instincts. Anytime a member of the herd is out of range, he needs to see them and and to make sure they are okay.

Carson is curious, playful, and full of personality. He is an extroverted horse who helps move things quickly.
