Aradis (whose name is Icelandic for ‘keeper of the eagles’) was raised on a farm in Maine with a herd of other Icelandic horses. She has training in dressage and is an accomplished trail horse. Riders love Aradis’ tolt, which is a very smooth gait and faster than the walk. Aradis is as sweet and gentle as they come and loves to be groomed.

Captain is a former trail horse and lesson horse. He’s a pro at Western and English alike, is calm yet very responsive under saddle, and is a smooth and steady ride for all. Captain is a big boy, and his wide base is excellent for helping riders keep their balance, yet he is not too tall for side-walkers. Captain can often be found snuggling with the volunteers that clean his paddock!

Dream quickly worked his way into our hearts -- and into the RTT lesson schedule! Dream came to RTT with a great deal of training. While the world of therapeutic riding was new to him, we are constantly impressed with his kindness, curiosity and desire to work with his riders.

Lucky’s previous training was mostly on the trails, and it shows by how much he loves taking his riders out on our trails. Lucky is a natural at his new job as a therapy horse, with a very sensitive nature and a keen sense for who is on his back. He can be steady and predictable or provide just the right challenge for those that are up for it. Whether nuzzling a participant during a ground lesson or playing mounted games, Lucky is a great addition to the RTT herd.

At first glance, Carrot may remind you of two of our past herd members--Andy and Lilly! He came to RTT with exceptional credentials, having served in a therapeutic riding program at Southern Vermont Therapeutic Riding, in Wilmington, VT. Sadly, their program closed in the summer of 2023 and they were thrilled to think of him continuing his work at RTT.

Apple Jax, or ‘AJ’, is our official greeter in our mini pen near the parking lot, and he takes his job very seriously! His little nicker is a wonderful welcome to all that arrive at RTT. AJ is trained to drive and is slowly being introduced to our carriage driving program. He is also in our walking program and some ground lessons and is a star at summer camp. He is as playful as he is cute and loves being around people.

Junior came to us from a farm in New Hampshire as an accomplished driving horse that also harness raced in his previous career. He has been known to give pony rides to tiny tots, as well! He has not worked in several years, so is slowly getting back into the swing of things! He loves people and neck scratches, and is settling into life on his new farm before starting in the driving program.

Monty made his trip from Florida to Maine in the winter and it was a bit of shock, temperature wise. Over time, he’s fully made the transition to life up in the northeast – though he still appreciates a blanket in the colder months. He is a super curious fellow who loves people.
