Foothills Therapeutic Riding Association

Nick is a 20 year old registered quarter horse. His birthday is tomorrow-May 19, 2006 (that's a FTRA day) so be sure to give him extra loving on his birthday! 🎂 His registered name is Genuine Pepinic, hence Nick. His owner purchased him from a friend 10 years ago.

Nick is a bay, with brown body and black legs, mane and tail, and is 15hh.
He also has a dorsal stripe, which is a black stripe down his back.

His owner, Susan L., tells us that he is missing a front tooth, lost somehow when he was young, but that it doesn't affect his eating, and he loves the green grass in his pasture. He also knows their tractor and runs to it, especially when it brings his food. He loves licorice nibs, and he gets his medicine in one each day.

He loves the attention at Therapeutic riding and loves all the children.
He's also great at rounding up cattle and trail riding in the mountains.

Next Tuesday 9am to Noon is New Volunteer Orientation at the OAS.
10:45-Noon is Returning Volunteer Orientation.
At 10:45 we all will be learning stretching exercises for our riders and how to assist with a safe unplanned dismount.
Look forward to seeing New faces and reconnecting with familiar faces 😄
