Meet Our Rockin' Therapy Lesson Horses
Introducing Fig Newton our one-eyed wonder pony, A.K.A. "Figgy"
Figgy is a Leopard P.O.A. (Pony of America), she is 12.2 hands tall and is 12 years old. A few years ago she sustained a kick by another horse that gave her skull fractures and caused her left eye to rupture. Surgery was performed to remove the eye, and she recovered nicely from all of her injuries! Since she was a well trained hunter jumper pony prior to her loss of the left eye, she is still a very reliable mount, she just has to rely on her rider a little extra for direction. We are very excited to have Figgy participate in our program, she is an inspiration to us all!
