The Herd
Meet the four legged team members that make our mission possible.
Charlie
Meet Charlie!
Charlie is a Warmblood gelding in his early twenties who is currently completing his trial period at NTRC—and we hope he will soon become an official member of the herd!
Buddy
Meet Buddy!
A little arthritis in his hind legs means he now appreciates a gentler pace and plenty of thoughtful care—but he still enjoys a good pampering session and finding ways to support his participants. Whether he is carrying a rider or simply offering his calm presence and companionship, Buddy continues to take care of his people in all the ways that matter.
Buddy is currently owned by NTRC and is looking for either a sponsor to help support his care or the right new owner to give him a loving home.
