Scout
OWNER: PALS
birthday: 10/15/2004
Scout joined the PALS herd following a career as a lesson horse for a local community member. Always willing, Scout was a great mount for children and beginners who needed a steady partner to show them the way. Scout enjoys a challenge, carrying riders who need more support, but also enjoys trotting around the arena with more independent riders.

Frankie is a paint gelding who was used for trail riding before becoming part of the PALS program in 2022. He has a very kind soul. Frankie is deaf so he uses his eyes a lot to tell what’s going on around him. He has a nice walk, trot and canter and is very willing to please his rider.

tank
OWNER: PALS
birthday: 01/01/2004
Tank (formerly Tanaquah) is a red roan Quarter Horse gelding. He started his training as a cutting horse; however, he grew much bigger than the ideal size for cutters, so he moved on to a different discipline. He was trained in dressage next and also served as a horse for trail riding. Tank’s calm demeanor and sweet personality make him a good fit for our equine-assisted programs!
