Meet Gabriel, lesson horse extraordinaire, and basically perfect.
He is sweet, playful, kind, and LOVES people. Some of his fans call him Fabio because of his long blonde hair. Gabe enjoys playing small pranks on his riders, like chewing on his reins, walking away from the mounting block, or sneaking a bite of grass on the way to the arena. He takes excellent care of riders of all levels, and can do anything from therapeutic riding to small jumps, or show a (very) low level dressage test with class. He even rode once in a Christmas parade.
Favorite speed: slow. Favorite skill: napping on the go.

Gabriel lives at JoyRide Equestrian, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people of all ages and abilities grow through equine-assisted services.
