May 10, 2002, Black pinto gelding (AMHA/AMHR), 27" tall-Retired.

Sire-Bergs Little Thunderheart Dam-Lazy CS Midnight Fantasy

Greetings my humans! As previously stated, my...um, ahum, handler Tara notes my size to be a very stately 27" at the top of my shoulder. And to all the pretty fillies out there, yes, I am quite the charmer. Now, I must agree with my humans, I love children and I was very elated that my Mom discovered my true joy. I spent many years strutting around in the showring, but I found nothing more fun than lacing up my tennis shoes and traveling to different events. My favorite thing was having those kids run their little hands across my back. Hey even a horse enjoys back rubs. I have been fighting health issues since 2017.  My mama and several veterinarians have tried tons of nasty tasting things and all sorts of tests, even surgery, to help me feel better. I was diagnosed with IBD and an undetermined severe liver disease that they did not think I would survive. Well, surprise! They underestimated my will to fight. With the love of my family, I battle on. Except for the occasional road trip to the beach or vacation, I am living the good retired life. Doing as I please. Life is good. I am very honored to announce that in 2019 I was inducted into the Equus Foundation Horse Stars Hall Of Fame. Please click the link below to view my special virtual Hall of Fame page.

Sire-Southridge Destinys Certain Heir Dam-Bond U Dreamer Morning Sky 

Howdy! My name is Lola and I am a true Southern Belle. Born 2007 in Louisiana, I'm the Queen of the herd! Blonde and beautiful, I am actually a pinto palomino, but do like to change my coat colors up a bit throughout the year. A girl has to keep in style for the seasons. I love walks, gentle Carolina breezes through my mane, and sharing back rubs with Leo. Taz is my best buddy and we often go on visits together. Although I have given the show ring a try, I much prefer helping people. I know how to pull a cart, jump, navigate through a trail class, practice patience in costume and LOVE liberty. I go to every visit happily looking forward to sharing my loving and kind demeanor with my new friends. I would stand there all day and let them love on me. I have a real gift for recognizing when people need me the most and feel truly blessed to share time with them. Thanks y'all for trottin through our site and I hope to meet you soon.

May 11, 2007, Smoky black gelding (AMHA/AMHR), 32" tall. 

Sire-Little Kings Buck Zeus Dam-WF Huskers Afterglow

Hi! May name is Taz, also known to the Fam and Frenz as Tazie Moto! They call my color a smokey silver black. Pretty appropriate since I was born in Pennsylvania, home of Hershey’s Chocolate. I kinda resemble a dark chocolate candy bar with the silver wrapper shredded into my coat. But my favoritist sweet is SKITTLES. I LOVE those things. My Mama Tara has trained me to pull a cart which I kind of enjoy. I have also spent time in the ring in halter, jumping (I can fly), liberty, costume and have won all sorts of ribbons and stuff. But nothing is more rewarding then meeting new people of all ages. I have a great time interacting with kids and adults of all ages. My happy go lucky personality is quite apparent. What can I say, I love everything and want to check it all out. In the summer of 2017 I developed a really bad tummy ache that required surgery and several months to feel better. But thankfully I am happy, healthy and ready to take on many more adventures. Bring them on! 

April 7, 2014, Chestnut gelding (AMHA/AMHR), 25" tall. 

Sire-Lazy Days Midnight Lightening Dam-Diamond S Jade Marquise

Hi everybody! My name is Kiwi. I sure am happy to be here! I was born at 10:30 p.m. on April 7th, 2014. It was a pretty rough road for me and my Mama Ruby, for the first 3 months. But we pulled through our health challenges.  I was born to do therapy work because I have been down the road to recovery myself. I have grown a bunch since my birth when I measured 17” tall. They say I'm a pistol, a real character. Heck, I'm just being me. I have never met a ball I didn't want to play with and can turn anything into a toy. I can smile, shake my head yes and spanish walk. In my few years in this work I have already been to Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC. I was awarded an honorary diploma from the University of Chapel Hill's Life and Sciences Library for Library Shenanigans. I love to help the students deal with stress during finals. I am looking forward to our adventures in the future. There is a big world out there with lots of grown ups and kids I want to make smile. Watch for me in Jacques Belliveau's feature film Reggie, and follow the movie's social sites under our events/film/media link above.  Inducted into the Equus Horse Stars Hall of Fame in 2022. 

May 7, 2015, Sorrel mare (AMHA/AMHR), 30.75" tall. 

Sire-Nirvanas Black Night Dam-Stars Give You My Heart

My name is Peaches and I am quite charmed to make you aquaintance. I joined the Stampede of Love team all the way from Texas in 2017. They had an opening in their program for a new therapy horse and I am sure glad they found me. I will be quite honest, most of the first year in my new home has been full of first time experiences that made me a little nervous. But with Kiwi at my side, I have discovered how fun my career can be. Being a sweet little lady comes naturally to me. I look up to my mentor Lola and hope to be just like her one day. Although, my mama thinks I am already there. I do have a slightly mischievous side, but what do you expect? I am still a baby and love to play. Not to mention, I have to be a little bit rotten when living with those wild child brothers of mine, Taz and Kiwi. I have been to a few shows and don't mind them. But our other adventures are far more rewarding. I cannot wait to see what is next! Let's party.
