Meet Our Horses

The Littles

Coconut.png

Coconut

Coconut has been trotting her way into hearts at Walkabout since 2018, and at 11 years old, she’s grown from a spunky youngster into a wise and wonderful therapy partner. (Though don’t worry - she’s still got plenty of playful energy to go around!)

​

With her sweet spirit and curious nature, Coconut is always the first to check out what’s going on - whether it’s a new person in the barn or a suspiciously crinkly snack bag. She lives for making connections and is a total natural when it comes to helping people feel safe and seen.

​

Why we adore Coconut:

  • Loves saying hi and making new friends

  • Super smart and always paying attention

  • Gentle, kind, and endlessly supportive in sessions

​

Coconut might be small in size, but she’s big on heart - and we’re so lucky to have her on the team

Don’t let her size fool you - Sweet Pea may be one of the smallest horses at Walkabout, but she’s got a heart that’s larger than life! At 12 years old, this little lady lives up to her name in every possible way. 

​

She’s gentle, kind, and always ready with a soft nuzzle or a quiet moment of comfort. Whether she’s working with participants or just spreading sunshine around the barn, Sweet Pea brings a calm, loving energy that’s totally contagious.

​

Why we can’t get enough of Sweet Pea:

  • She’s basically kindness on four hooves

  • Small but mighty when it comes to making hearts melt

  • A true pro at making everyone feel special

  • ​

Sweet Pea may be petite, but her impact is huge - and she’s one of the sweetest reasons Walkabout feels like home.

Poppy

Say hello to Poppy, the newest member of the Walkabout family! At 9 years old, she’s already stealing hearts left and right with her sweet, snuggly personality. 

 

Poppy is the type of horse who lives for making new friends and giving out endless love. Whether you’re offering a treat or just a little chin scratch, Poppy’s all in - and she’s ready to show you just how much affection she’s got to give. 

 

Why we adore Poppy:

  • Full of love and always ready for snuggles

  • Loves meeting new people - the more the merrier!

  • A gentle spirit who makes everyone feel special​

 

Poppy’s heart is as big as the barn, and we’re beyond excited to see her grow into her role here at Walkabout.

True to her name, Sassy brings the spice to Walkabout - and we wouldn’t have it any other way! At 19 years old, she’s got a personality that’s larger than life, with just the right amount of attitude to keep everyone on their toes. 

 

But don’t let her sass fool you - underneath all that flair is a total sweetheart who loves deeply and gives her all to the people she connects with. She may toss her mane like a diva, but she’s also the first to lean in for a nuzzle or offer a quiet moment of comfort.

 

Why we love our girl Sassy:

  • She’s got opinions - and she’s not afraid to share them

  • A big softie when it comes to the people she trusts

  • Equal parts drama queen and cuddle bug

 

With a heart full of love and a spark that never fades, Sassy continues to light up the barn - one sassy strut at a time.

The Big Herd

Apollo.png

Apollo

Apollo joined the Walkabout family in 2019, arriving with his buddy Molson from the amazing folks at Long Run Thoroughbred Retirement Society. Since then, he’s been bringing calm confidence and cool charm to the farm. 

​

With his laidback personality and wise, old-soul energy, Apollo is the kind of horse who makes you feel at ease the moment you're near him. He’s all about relaxed hangs, thoughtful interactions, and being that steady companion everyone needs.

​

Why we adore Apollo:

  • Calm, steady, and incredibly intuitive

  • Always watching the world with thoughtful eyes

  • A natural at helping people feel grounded and safe

 

He may not be the flashiest in the herd, but Apollo has a subtle spark that draws people in - the kind of quiet charisma that makes him unforgettable.

Say hello to Monty, one of the newest (and biggest!) members of the Walkabout crew! He joined the family in 2024, and at 20 years old, he's already made a huge impression - in size and sweetness. 

 

Standing tall among the herd, Monty might look like a powerhouse… but underneath that big, beautiful frame is a total softie with a puppy dog personality. He’s curious, cuddly, and absolutely loves making new friends - both human and horse!

​

Why we’re obsessed with Monty:

  • He greets everyone like a long-lost best friend

  • Big heart, even bigger cuddles

  • Follows you around like a shadow (he’s basically a 1,200-pound lapdog)

​

Monty brings a fun, friendly energy to the farm, and we can’t wait to see how he continues to grow into his role as a therapy superstar.

Gracie.png

Gracie

At 24 years young (birthday: March 1st), Gracie is Walkabout Farm’s resident sweetheart - and the definition of an old soul with a gentle spirit.

​

She’s calm, kind, and always the first to offer quiet comfort to anyone who needs it. Whether she’s meeting someone new or standing beside a familiar friend, Gracie has a way of making you feel completely safe and seen. 

​

But don’t let her angelic nature fool you - this girl LOVES a good nap. Gracie is a professional sleeper and can doze off literally anywhere (standing, laying down, mid-grooming... you name it).

 

Gracie’s favorite things:

  •   Snacking on carrots, apples, and mints (she’s got gourmet taste)

  •   Taking naps like it’s her full-time job

  •   Helping participants feel calm, confident, and cared for

 

Gentle, wise, and just the tiniest bit spoiled - Gracie is truly the heart of Walkabout. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. 

Valentino, lovingly known as Tino, is 20 years young and one of the OG superstars here at Walkabout Farm! 

 

Tino is the definition of laidback luxury. He’s all about long naps, easy vibes, and soaking up all the attention. Whether he’s chilling in the pasture or leaning in for some head scratches, this guy’s got a heart as big as his fan club. 

 

Why we love Tino:

  • Nap king status: he takes his rest very seriously

  • Will happily accept hugs, pets, and endless compliments

  • Calm, cool, and always down to connect with new people

 

Tino might play it cool, but he’s one of our biggest-hearted helpers - a true Walkabout legend who makes everyone feel like they belong.

Julia.png

Julia

At 28 years young, Julia holds the title of Walkabout’s most seasoned sweetheart – and she wears that crown with total grace (and just a touch of sass)! 

 

With her old soul and kind heart, Julia is a calm and caring presence on the farm. She's the type who always seems to know when someone needs a little extra love - and she’s more than happy to give it.

 

But let’s be real - Julia’s true love? FOOD. This mash-loving mare lives for mealtimes and is not shy about reminding us when it’s time to eat. Morning or evening, she’s front and center, ready for her well-deserved feast.

 

Why we love Julia:

  • She’s our wise and wonderful elder

  • Mash is her love language

  • Kind, nurturing, and always up for a gentle visit

 

She may be the oldest in the barn, but Julia’s heart is forever young - and we’re so lucky to be graced with her quiet confidence and timeless charm.
