Meet Our Horses

MEET THE ARCH HORSES

I saw a child who couldn't walk, sit on a horse and laugh and talk...
I saw a child who could only crawl, mount a horse and sit up tall...
I saw a child born into strife, take up and hold the reins of life...
And that same child was heard to say, thank you God for showing me the way.
- John Anthony Davis

Here are the patient and kind horses we can thank for all the miracles at ARCH.........

My name is CODY. I was born in 1998 and am the youngest member of the ARCH equine staff. That means I have so much to learn from the other horses. I am brown and white in color which makes me a Pinto. Being one of the smallest ponies in the barn, I am always busy with the smallest kids here at ARCH. But I have the biggest heart and love to teach my riders how to be stronger and smarter. Someday, I want to be the ‘ARCH Horse of the Year’. Everyone should have a goal, you know?

Small but mighty! That’s me…COCA MOCHA FRAPPACINO! I am the smallest by far of the equine staff here at ARCH. Born in 1994, I came here via an ARCH board member who bought me at the New Holland Auction. I was supposedly a pony with an Amish family. I don’t care about cars or trucks or bicycles coming by me. I am brave and rock steady. The wee little ones just love me because I am their size. The volunteers love me because I am so easy to work around. Hmmmm…………..I am just so loved here, I think I will stay at ARCH FOREVER!!!!!! Come visit me….and bring carrots, my favorite treat.

Hello! My name is HRIMNIR, an Icelandic horse just like my father, Tindur. I was born in the US in 1989. I have always lived with my father, so I'm glad we could come to ARCH as a team.   We came late to therapeutic riding, but love to have jobs among people who need us and love us, and we both plan to do our very best to be valuable ARCH members.

Hey! I'm ANDERS, a sturdy Fjord, and a gift from the Somerset Hills Handicapped Riding Center.  I came to ARCH well trained and with excellent manners, and was allowed to jump right into the program. With my sweet disposition and steady ways, I'm already a trusted favorite of instructors and even the most timid riders.
Hello! I'm Huey (b. 2000), a very handsome Paint, and I come from north Jersey where I was a great trail horse. Being a trail horse I saw a lot, and am ready to be a steady and trusty mount for ARCH riders.   Being quite handsome, I already have many friends and admirers. I'm proud of my work with our veterans program.
Hi! My name is NATE, and I am one of the nicest guys you ever want to meet.   I have a gentle and willing disposition and love to work with all types of riders. My best friend is Huey and I stay with him most of the time unless I have a rider to wrok with. You can see us when you arrive at ARCH as Huey and Hrimnir and I stay in the fenced area in front of the barn.

Hi, I am BACCHUS. I am on loan to the Atlantic Riding Center for the Handicapped by Kim Mullin. I had to go through special training to see if I was special enough to join the equine staff and I passed! I was born in 1996 and trained for dressage which means I am limber and can walk, trot, and canter with great balance and style. Not much bothers me and I am big enough for both adults and children, which makes me just PERFECT! I really do love my new job and hope I can stay for a long time.

Hi, I am Sir Gawaine. I am a gift to the Atlantic Riding Center for the Handicapped by the American Gypsy Angel Foundation. They are part of the American Gypsy Horse Breed Association. ARCH was chose from a number of applicants to receive the very first donation of a Gypsy horse from the Foundation. The Foundation was formed to donate horse like me to therapeutic riding centers where we can help challenged riders gain strength and confidence. I am so excited to be a part of such a wonderful, effective program. I have been training and working hard to be the best I can be and look forward to getting to know everyone. I am so happy the Foundation chose ARCH for my new home.
