Meet our Residents & Program Horses
These are some of our success stories. These horses have been saved by generous donors and volunteers - and of course the families who open their hearts and pastures. Check out their stories, some of these horses continue to live at the stable, participating in our many youth and adult programs.Meet our Residents!
Cooper...Thanks to Judy Flynn, our beloved equine dentist, Cooper has a home here at the SummerWinds Stables. Cooper came to us from the racetrack, and we retrained him to be a pleasure horse. Along came his new teenage best friend...and the two became inseperable. Since Cooper's new bff is getting good grades, and working hard to make sure Cooper gets all the love and attention he needs, Judy donated her sponsorship to Eric so that he could continue to work with Cooper. What a wonderful match!!! We are so thankful to both of them for their dedicaiton!
Rocky - Rocky is one of our leading therapeudic riding horses. He's 
a been there, done that QH type who may pretend he doesnt like the attention, but, secretly, he cannot wait to go for a trail ride, to a clinic, a show or even just a jaunt around the farm. A huge thanks to the Black family for his long-term sponsorship so that Rocky can continue to lead and teach.
Vinnie B
ag 'O Donuts - Our new Mascot thanks to Debi and Kurt Bartell who helped bring him to the SWS. We are so excited as Vinnie meets his first children's group! 50 First Graders from a local school are raising money for the rescue in Vinnie's name. What could be cooler? Oh..besides a cape for our new mascot!!!
Louie - This cool cat is a farm favorite and we have to keep a separate mailbox for his fanmail! This super guy is just too cool for words. He participates in our many programs, and will get almost obnoxious if someone doesnt bring him out, give him treats or talk to him at least once a day. This is not hard to do - everyone loves Lou! He has melted many hearts, and continues to be a teacher, friend and confidant at the SWS! Sponsored by the Stearrett Family!
Lord Don is just that - Lordly! He thinks he owns this farm and no one has told him differently!
! Don came with the first brick, he is a gentleman and a very kind horse. Small children love him, women adore him. He participates in our programs, but generally keeps the farm in line. If something happens, you can bet Lord Don is the FIRST to let us know by a loud Whinny or nudge!! This guys owners still visit him, and will talk about the races he won. Most recently, he is sponsored by Victoria...all she has to do is call his name and he comes runnin'!
We couldn't possibly forget Roxie, our beloved Argentine Thoroughbred. She 
is an older gal, with plenty of love left to give. She is the mare who teaches our youngsters how to behave, and even took a baby mustang we had rescued under her wing. This special gal really needs a sponsor, someone who will love her for who she is. Sarah loved her all summer long, but has since gone alway to college. We think Roxie really misses her and needs a girl of her very own to love...
"Big C" aka Clarence a big gelding found a home in Virginia. He has starred on "You Tube" and was featured on an interent website selling hats that movies stars have worn (Like Indiana Jones!) We are so thankful to the Big C's owners. They really went above and beyond to give him the most perfect home!
Grace, our little crazy arabian found a loving home on a waterfront farm at the Delaware Beaches. This little girl has a best friend, another mare, and she just loves all the attention her new owners spoils her with. She is living the good life as a beach bum!
Nemo, a little Halflinger with an "I love my Attitude" t-shirt, found a home as a driving horse in PA. The latest report? He is doing great in training as a driving horse. He found his niche with very savvy owners!!!
Zorro, a short zippy little QH is now in training as a Western Pleasure/Performance horse in upstate NY. Recent photos showed a very dressed to impress horse! His new owner said that he learns quickly and is the love of her life!!!! She even came back and adopted another QH from us...WOW!
These "Rescued" horses all got new careers and a second chance. Dont you want to take one home today????
