Meet the Horses
Our horses are the heart and soul of Quarter Moon Acres. Each one brings their own unique personality, special qualities, and unwavering dedication to our therapy program. Whether they are offering a calming presence, a joyful ride, or a quiet connection, they create the foundation of every experience at QMA. We are truly grateful for each horse, as they play a vital role in helping others heal, grow, and thrive.

Previously a pleasure horse, his kind nature and goofy personality make him a perfect fit for our therapy program. He brings fun and warmth to every ride, and we’re so grateful to have him as part of our herd!
