My name is Truly Rae because I am Truly a ray of sunshine. My mom keeps calling me a pandemic pony, because we met during this thing called a pandemic. Im not really sure what that means. I use to do reining and be a part of drill team. I’ve been happy to turn that life in for a new life of taking things slow and getting as many bum and neck scratches as possible from all the loving clients my mom brings over. I also know how it feels to have many medical procedures and surgeries, I can relate to having to take it slow and be in a rehab program for many months at a time.
Hi!! My name is Georgie Boy. I am an 18 year old American Quarter Horse. My color is called Buckskin. I grew up in on a ranch in the mountains of Arizona. I helped the rancher with moving the cows and finding ones that had gotten lost. It was a good job and I had a lot of fun.
Then a lady saw me and thought I was cute so I moved to Las Vegas. I like people to pet me and tell me that I am a good boy. I also like to play soccer with my big red and blue ball. I really like to eat baby carrots and little oranges for a snack. I hope we can be friends.
Neigh, my name is Merlot. I am an off the track thoroughbred from Illinois. I have won six races and raced at Arlington Park in the Chicagoland area.
After I retired from racing I met my new mom. She moved me from Illinois to Las Vegas in 2017. Ever since then we have been together, she even found my own backyard for me. I am so excited to help the clients of Lets Move Physical Therapy learn how to walk over, around and thru different obstacles.
Because of my large size most will not ride me and thats ok because I am going to teach those who need it to walk as fast as a race horse. Neigh neigh lets go!!
Hi, my name is Rialto, my mom nick named me “handsome” because I am. I am a 16 year old dark bay Swedish Warmblood. My mom bought me in the summer of 2016 and we have been together for five and a half years. I was originally an equestrian vaulting horse (that means gymnastics on horseback). One of mom’s friends leased me and brought me to Las Vegas. She worked with me every day, she taught me a little dressage(which is a French word meaning training) and she jumped me too. We even went to a few horse shows. I am mostly a dressage horse now, I enjoy that, and I’m ready to help the adults of Las Vegas who are in need of practicing some gymnastics… I mean physical therapy, neigh, neigh. I love apples, carrots, peppermints, and sugar cubes so be sure to bring some when you come to see me.
