For those who will be joining us tonight, the horses are so excited to see you tonight!! Especially this guy who will be there to greet you!

Teddy is a Welsh Cross pony who came to us just 4 years ago in 2022. You’d never know it as he quickly became another face of Special Strides. He’s beloved by our youngest riders, particularly his buddy Callie.
