Our Horses and Barn Family
Cleo
Cleo is a Suffolk Punch Draft Horse. She stands 15.1 hands tall. Cleo is very smart, making it easy to incorporate her into our lesson program. Watch your pockets, though, because she will take any treats you have!
Felix
Felix is a red dun Quarter Horse standing at 15.3 hands tall. Felix is very sensitive and mirrors the heart of his rider, making him very good with our therapeutic students. Felix is a little shy, but he loves a good cuddle and some treats.
Opie
Opie is an Irish Sport Horse and ever curious. We call him the boy next door - handsome and kind, while still being a lovely goof!
Ellie Mae
Ellie Mae is the oldest horse in the barn and one of our stars! She is a Palomino Quarter Horse. A favorite with our Path students, Ellie is a master at putting physically and emotionally challenged riders at ease and helping them overcome their struggles. Ellie Mae has not met a person she does not like.
Oakie
Oakie is a 16 hand bay Quarter horse. He used to be a chase pony at Saratoga Racetrack but enjoys the slower pace of carrying our therapeutic riders in their lessons. Oakie will give kisses to anyone with a treat.
Jingles
Jingles is our gentle giant! Jingles is a 16.2 hand tall Palomino Belgian mare. She has been used in every program we offer. Jingles won quite a few blue ribbons in the show ring and her confidence translates to her riders.
Kobe
Kobe is a black Morgan Horse and every little girl's dream! With a kind spirit and a can-do attitude he brings it for our beginner young riders and Path students.
Winnie
Winnie, a 14.2 hand red roan Quarter Horse, has been with us since 2013. Winnie absolutely loves to be groomed and will stand all day if you have a brush in your hand. She is always entertaining us with her funny faces when we take a curry comb to her ‘tickle spot.’
Titan and Spartan
Titan and Spartan were rescued and became an instant great addition to our barn family. They love to play and they love goat treats even more!
Buddy
Buddy is a bay Quarter Horse and an inquisitive guy. He supports all Victoria Acres programs and loves a visit and treats!
Holly
Holly is our resident Donkey. She is friendly but shy and loves someone to come down to her level. Her quiet way makes her an excellent therapy animal, giving even our smallest and most quiet students confidence to take on the day.
Ellie
Ellie is a chestnut Quarter Horse that was donated to Victoria Acres for our riding programs. She is very inquisitive and smart, and her calm way about her is very calming to our students. Some people say she looks like the horse from Runaway Bride.
