Ricky

It takes a special kind of horse to be a therapy horse. Ricky is one of Sunshine Ranch Therapeutic Riding’s 3 horses, and boy, is he special! Our horses love people and are very patient, gentle, and honest. They each have their own unique talents, and pair well with different types of riders with various goals. Our students get to work with our horses both on the ground, and on their backs. Horses provide so much physical movement and feedback, which helps our riders to improve strength, balance, independent mobility, coordination, and confidence.
