THE BIG SHOW

Belgian gelding—and quite possibly the largest Belgian in the United States. We plan on working with Guinness World Records to officially document his size. After spending his first seventeen years as a carriage horse, Arion came to us carrying both an incredible physical presence and a remarkably gentle soul.

Despite being an absolute showstopper, Arion’s heart is pure gold. He has the personality of a loyal dog—happy to follow you wherever you go, or to stand patiently for a good neck scratch (and yes, he’ll politely lower his head so you can reach). Gentle, kind, sweet, and endlessly welcoming, Arion meets everyone exactly where they are, offering connection without expectation and comfort without judgment.

THE HERD MOM

A Belgian mare whose story is one of survival, vigilance, and quiet power. She came to us after enduring severe abuse, because of that past, Athena is always watching—carefully reading whether she will be met with kindness or harm.

Yet it is within that watchfulness that Athena’s greatest gift lives. When she encounters someone carrying their own trauma, something shifts. She recognizes it. In those moments, Athena offers a deep, steady presence—one rooted in immense strength. Not just the strength it took to survive physical pain, but the strength of spirit required to keep going, to remain open, and to keep breathing. Athena teaches that resilience is not loud, and that healing can be shared in silence, one steady moment at a time.

STEADY PRESENCE

This mare who has been part of our herd since she was just six months old. She came to us from the Amish, full of personality and confidence—a sassy filly who knew exactly who she was from day one. Freya has never experienced trauma, and that steady, secure start shows in everything she does.

As she’s grown, Freya has settled into a calm, grounded presence. She’s incredibly intuitive, picking up on emotions without a single word being spoken. Whether someone arrives carrying stress, grief, or simply needs quiet company, Freya seems to know—and meets them exactly where they are. She reminds us that strength can be gentle, and that sometimes the most powerful support comes without saying anything at all.

EARNED, NOT GIVEN

Quarter Horse gelding and the only non-draft horse in our herd. Where many of our horses bring steady confidence, Loki brings something just as powerful—deep understanding. Loki knows trauma. While working as a cow horse in Texas, he was involved in a serious barbed-wire accident. It’s an experience that left a mark, not just physically, but emotionally.

During that time Loki was treated with a very heavy hand, Because of that, Loki can be hesitant with new people. He takes his time, watches closely, and decides carefully who to trust. But beneath that caution is an incredibly gentle heart. When someone approaches Loki with vulnerability of their own, he meets them there—setting aside his fears to stand quietly, fully present, and unwavering in support. Loki reminds us that healing doesn’t always come from strength alone, but from the courage to be seen and the choice to stay anyway.

GROWING INTO GREATNESS

Named after Gen. James Mattis —and he’s already living up to his namesake. As Athena’s foal, Mattis carries himself with confidence, presence, and a quietly commanding energy that turns heads without trying.

Bold, curious, and strong-willed, Mattis embodies leadership in the making. He’s observant and engaged, always aware of what’s happening around him, and he meets the world with both grit and intelligence. Whether he’s testing boundaries or standing steady beside his dam, Mattis reminds us that character shows early—and that strength, when grounded, becomes something others naturally follow.

HEAVYWEIGHT EDITION

Belgian gelding whose life has been defined by strength—and, ultimately, by love. He spent the first thirteen years of his life working for the Amish, where his immense size and power meant he was forced to give more and more. Over time, that work left his body arthritic, tired, and slow.

And yet, Odin’s spirit was never broken. His personality remained unchanged—steady, gentle, and kind. Odin carries his strength softly. He is content to stand with someone who needs to tell their story, to be leaned on while they catch their breath, or to quietly offer support until they find the strength to stand on their own again. In every sense, Odin embodies love: patient, unconditional, and unwavering.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Percheron gelding and Derek’s very first horse—making him a true cornerstone of our herd and our story. Confident and full of personality, Thor knows he’s impressive and absolutely loves to show off, especially when there’s an audience.

Despite his larger-than-life presence, Thor is a big softie at heart. He’s generous with affection and always happy to make a new friend—particularly if that friend happens to have cookies. Thor’s combination of confidence, humor, and warmth makes him an instant favorite and a powerful reminder that connection doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s as simple as showing up, sharing a moment, and maybe a treat or two.
