Our Horses

Annabella

 

Annabella is a 29-year-old Belgian Mare. Rescued from a slaughterhouse in Mississippi, we believe Annabella spent the first portion of her life working in the fields of an Amish farm. When not working with a child, Annabella spends her days grazing in the sunshine.

She has a big heart, is loving and kind and is the first to greet you when entering the pasture. We call Annabella “Big Mama” because she is not only our biggest horse in the herd, but she is the oldest and is the mother of the rest. She is the alpha and she knows it.

Merlin

 

Merlin is a 25-year-old gelding Quarter horse. He was rescued with Annabella from the slaughterhouse in Mississippi and they traveled on the long road to freedom together. Merlin is a sweetheart, but he is still learning to trust again.

He had never been given a treat before he arrived at Fox Moon Farm and didn’t know what a carrot was. It took some time, but now, he loves his carrots. 

Romeo

 

Romeo is a Paint gelding who came to live with us with his best pal Baby Bear (who is a mini). Baby Bear is half his size, but he wouldn’t know it. Watching them together is adorable! They follow each other everywhere.

Big hearted and sweet, Romeo is exactly what his name says –a lover at heart and the perfect therapy horse. The kids love him.

Baby Bear

 

Baby Bear is a mini who thinks he is much bigger than he is. He’s called Baby Bear for a reason, partly because of his size, but also because he looks like a bear. Sweet, loving and dear, Baby Bear is the perfect therapy horse for children who might feel intimidated by the larger horses.

He had been living with Romeo by himself for the last 15 years and now lives with our herd here at Fox Moon Farm. He loves children and would like to climb into your pocket if he could.

Sunbeam

 

Sunbeam is the latest addition to our herd. He is a Missouri Fox Trotter, an older fellow and sweet as pie. He used to live and work down in Virginia Beach at another therapeutic program for children and is very gentle and kind.

He knows how to kick a ball and other tricks, which he’s teaching to the rest of the herd. He’s pretty shy and is just starting to make friends with the rest of the boys in the herd.
