Hi. I'm Asia. I'm a Sagittarius. I'm a 24 year old bay Arabian gelding. I was born in Arkansas and, because of my attractiveness, was shown as a baby. Then I moved to Arizona where I began to compete in shows in various events, allowing me to express my talents and keep me from being bored. Idle hooves are the devil's workshop! I've now worked at Connections for six years. Although my stature is not great, I'm known as "little big man" around the barn. I have a great sense of humor, love pulling pranks, and I'm very dramatic and expressive...some would call it flamboyant. I'm arrogant and sensitive. My sensitivity to the clients' needs is one of my best attributes. I seem to be able to read their needs, both physically and emotionally. I will even signal my leaders during sessions if a client becomes off-balanced by nibbling on their arm. If you're attracted to elegant refinement with a great intellect and sense of humor, please adopt me. I'd like to be able to continue this work into my golden years.

Nickie (born 2/14/94)
Hi. I'm Nickie. I'm an Aquarius. I'm a 14 year old bay and white paint gelding. I am the largest and most handsome, in my opinion, of all the other males in the herd. I love working with clients. Everyone says I put my whole heart into everything that I do, which is interesting since I was born on Valentine's Day with a "heart" on my back. I have been donating my services to Connetions since I was five years old. I have some minor special needs regarding my feet requiring special shoes. My temperament is very stable and trustworthy. My only shortcoming is that I have anxiety around food. I always worry about where my next meal is coming from. Can't understand that - I've never known a hungry day in my life! Oh, well, I guess we all have our stuff. If you will adopt me, I will be able to continue the work I love and take so seriously, and I promise I will make you proud of me.

Tinker (4/30/78)
Hi. I'm Tinker. I'm a Taurus. I'm a 30 year old sorrel gelding with a flaxen mane and tail. I am of racing quarter horse breeding. My resume is quite versatile. I've worked on a ranch, barrel raced, been in parades and was a pony horse at the racetrack, where my job was to help the horses I was leading stay calm while going to the starting gate. This was quite a challenge for me since I have a tendency to be quite easily stressed. I had to do a lot of personal work on myself to be successful at this job (Type A, you know). Anyway, I came to Connections 2+ years ago. Boy, was that an eye-opener! I decided you're never too old to learn something new. I am very happy to share my calm wisdom and be a teacher to my clients. I'm very good at building confidence. I would like your help to continue helping the clients at Connections.
T.C. (born 6/4/96) - Retired
Hi! My name is T.C. I'm a Gemini and my birthday is June 4, 1996, which makes me 12 years old. I'm a registered quarter horse, chestnut in color, with white marking on my face that look like I was doing 90 mph and got hit with paint. It's totally awesome - I like being unique.
I was born in Montana, and my registered name is Bald Tomcat. Thank goodness when I came to live with my mom, Loralee, she decided to give me the cool name T.C., which everyone here thinks stands for "Too Cute." I've traveled around a bit, pursuing different interests such as Western Pleasure, English Pleasure, and Trail. The showing thing was pretty fun, being the social dude that I am...but I have a little problem with my front feet, and it was decided that I needed to like totally change my scene. So, I came to Connections, and with my attitude of lovin' life, they knew I was the perfect guy they were looking for. I never see anyone as a stranger...why, I'll walk up and just talk to anybody.
I've made a lot of new friends here, and working at a therapeutic program has been a real trip, but my foot problem has gotten very bad and necessitated my retirement.
In Memory of Miss Jessie
10/10/1981 - 12/12/2007
Our dear, sweet Miss Jessie was the founding Connections horse. She is sorely missed by all who knew her. Miss Jessie helped so many people - physically & mentally. She was a wonderful teacher.
This was her bio:
Hi. I'm Jessie. I'm a Scorpio. I'm a registered black, bay and white paint who has been a working mother of three (two daughters and a son) with a high-powered career in the show ring for many years. After retirement, I decided to devote my life to Connections Equine Therapy Program. I enjoy having something to do in my retirement years, and I need your assistance to help continue my work for this program. I look forward to meeting you. I love working with all clients, but my expertise and love is working with children and very fragile clients who are fearful and have difficulty expressing/communicating directions to me. I understand them.
