Mr. Friendly (racing name: Mr. Friendly) is a gentle giant who loves all the attention he can get. He especially likes his head rubbed but will take scratches all over. He is very tactile with his mouth and is very interested in different textures of clothes, ropes, and even enjoys playing with coat zippers. His sweet personality — generally wanting to be close — makes him a wonderful horse for companionship.
Lovely (racing name: Awfully Lovabull) is a beautiful mare with her white and brown spotted coat pattern. It seems that she watches the other horses for permission to approach people, as if she’s timid until another horse takes the brave step to connect with a person. Lovely enjoys neck scratches and has deep brown eyes. She is also very expressive with the muscles in her face to show you how she’s feeling in the moment.
Whiskers (racing name: Bulliger) is a calm and loving boy, very easy to communicate with understanding: if his face muscles tense and ears go back he needs a little space or does not like where he is being touched (this really is true for all the horses). He is easy to connect with and generally likes to have neck scratches. Whiskers is the lowest in the hierarchy of the herd and it shows in the dynamic of eating the most. He gets pushed around at times but is still calm, collected and enjoys one-on-one attention time.
Diamond (racing name: Diamond) has a sister (Lovely), which is wonderful for her, and yet so interesting to get picked on at times from her older sister. Diamond is the sweetest girl. She is so great at comforting people by simply standing next to them and helping them to regulate. She lends her nervous system to others so freely. Diamond demands attention with her loving and gentle demeanor. When she wants more attention she will lift her leg in the air as a sign of “please stay connected with me!” She is a beautiful white horse and so very precious to be around.
Cash (racing name: Cashes Dynamite) is the matriarch of the herd. Small but mighty, she mothers the group and keeps all the horses safe with her attentiveness. In her old age she is very set in her ways and easy to communicate with in regard to if she wants attention or not. Cash is a wonderful horse who be around.
