Meet the Horses of Reins of Life
Gentle Giants. Members of our family.
The horses of Reins of Life are our trusted friends. They are the gentle creatures that we know we can rely on for comfort, safety, and warmth. They are, at once, giving and forgiving. Each with his or her own personality, we give them our love and they give it back one thousand fold.
Adorable Applejack
Applejack is a very cute, super sweet Halflinger mare, which is a large pony breed. She is 14.2 hands tall and 13 years old. She came to Reins of Life in May 2025 and quickly fit right in. She became popular with the staff and riders big and small with her friendly demeanor. She has beautiful palomino coloring and a sweet temperament, happy to be your friend, especially if you have a treat.
Lovable Cooper!
Cooper joined us at Reins of Life in January 2016. He is a very handsome 15-year-old Quarter Horse Paint who is the most affectionate and sweet horse, always eager to please. He loves going on country trail rides in the woods, and is best of friends with his pasture mate, Skylar, where you’ll find the two of them rough housing all day long.
Cooper has a unique feature of having one blue eye and one brown eye, making him that much more lovable.
Handsome Skylar!
Skylar came to Reins of Life in 2011 when he was donated after his owner went off to college. Skylar showed in hunter/jumpers for 4 years after a short racing career. He’s a very gentle, sweet and affectionate Thoroughbred, chestnut gelding, who reigns over the others.
After a very docile life, he now has finally been able to be the boss, and loves his job to the fullest. Skylar is 15’ 3 hands tall.
Cute Noble (Retired)
Noble retired in 2024 and gave us his most memorable years as a therapy horse. He was admired for his handsome, flashy coloring, and he looked the best in pictures. Noble is a registered Paint Quarterhorse. He was a racetrack pony horse for a number of years then adopted by a very caring young woman who trained him to be a show jumper horse. We acquired Noble (formerly Noodles) in May 2021. He is a super sweet horse, but was ready for retirement.
Amazing Snip! (who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge)
Snip would take such good care of his riders to the end of the world and back with his gentle spirit and smooth stride.
He loved belly rubs, Stud Muffins and ranked highest among the riders for his kind heart and amazing patience.
Beautiful Chrissie (who crossed over the rainbow bridge in 2024)
Chrissie, a registered Halflinger mare, was a favorite of our youngest riders. She had the longest golden mane and matching tail, which everyone wanted to braid the minute they saw her.
Chrissie was a ‘diva’ demanding attention, treats and acknowledgment of her beauty by all who met her.
