These horses have touched our hearts in so many ways.
We wish them eternally green pastures.
Jondalar - our fuzzy Norwegian Fjord was a PA fixture for 3 years. Jondalar passed away in November 2007 - he will be sorely missed!
Doozie is a registered Quarter Horse gelding. His registered name is American Rim Bar. He was donated by Renee Dozzi in 2000. Doozie was the man in charge in our pastures and liked to impart his wisdom to all our "younger" horses.
Jomie is a registered Paint mare. Her registered name is Taras Jomer Seven. Jomie was donated by Carolyn Schulte
in 2000. Jomie's biggest "like" in life is eating. Her biggest
dislike is being put on diets. Which unfortunately happens quite regularly! In 2007, Jomie chose to retire from Project ASTRIDE and is now working with a young, deaf rider.
Ouachita (pronounced wha-she-tah) is a 15 hand, Paint gelding born in 1990. He began with Project ASTRIDE in 2005, being leased to PA by instructor, Alice Sue Becker. In 2008, he returned to being a full-time stay at home horse. (In other words, he's retired!) Thanks for your great service to PA, Ouachita!
Magic is an Arabian gelding whose previous life included endurance riding. He began as a therapy horse after being donated by Mary Baker in2006. In 2009 he was retired as a therapy horse due to degenerative arthritis in his sacral/coxal region. He is retired with a Project ASTRIDE volunteer who recently lost her elder horse.
