Camilia AKA "Cami" was purchased from Jim and Connie Madison from Pequot Lakes, MN. Connie was an active barn volunteer for a few years and currently serves the program by speaking at community organizations and working booths at various events. Jim and Connie both are strong advocates for our mission and vision. Cami was a trail horse at a riding camp before Jim and Connie purchased her so she is accustomed to having many different types of people on her back. Cami went thru her probationary training period during October and November and the final purchase was completed in December of 2010. Cami's job will be to carry riders weighing up to 150lbs. She's so cute with her Snowflake Pattern spattered across her sorrel colored body and her strawberry blonde mane and tail. She began transporting her precious cargo during Mounted Eagles' lessons in January of 2011 and everyone seems to be very happy and pleased with her. She is enjoying her new job and all of her new friends.

Lilly was purchased from Allison Kempen who lives in Kennan Wisconsin. She has had Lily for a number of years and felt she needed a new job since Allison didn't have enough time to spend with her. Lilly's a bit of a 'firecracker" when you're lunging her and warming her up for lessons but just as soon as one of our riders hits her back, she drops her head and gives them the kind of ride they can handle. She sports a flashy blond mane and tail and sometimes it's hard to recognize whether she is Cami or Lilly. They are so much alike in appearance and size. Lilly's a little heftier and will be responsible for carrying our riders who weigh up to 175 lbs. She actively started her job in January of 2011 and seems to be enjoying her new life, her new home and all of her new friends.

Bear was purchased from Tina Brezinka who lives in Little Falls. He came to us known as "Whisky" and somehow we didn't think the name suited him and the mission he will be carrying out as a member of the Mounted Eagles family. We had a contest and let our riders submit name prospects for him. Austin Newgord won the contest with his suggestion of "Bear". He is truly living up to that name in the "Teddy Bear" sense. He will carry riders weighing up to 160lbs. Like Cami and Lilly, he bagan carrying his precious cargo in January of 2011 and everyone seems happy, including our Bear!

Rosie was donated to us by a loving couple from Milaca who knew she would be a perfect fit for our program. They were right! She is a very young but sensible little mare who is just a ‘peach’. She carries our smaller to medium sized riders and enjoys every minute of it. She’s so cute – they all just love her! Thanks for giving her to us, Cindy and Jim, our riders are very blessed to have her as a part of their lives.

Ace was donated to the program and is a former Endurance Runner. After he received a slight injury to his ankle, his previous owner felt she should not ask him to run the long races any more. She wanted him to be doing something that would make him feel like he was needed and to be where he would be helping others. He is quiet natured and very patient. His ankle is just fine but Just don’t touch his ears! : -) He’s pretty sensitive around those ears and would just as soon you not bother them. He loves his job at the Mounted Eagles and has quickly become one of the favorites for new riders.

Velvet became a member of the Mounted Eagles as a result of one of our riders “outgrowing her”.  He had owned her for many years and wanted her to have a good home where he could still visit with her often.  ME was the perfect place.  She’s still with us taking our “little ones” carefully around the arena with her quick little legs going at top walking speed.  People think big horses walk fast – but little Velvet can pass most of them up on any given day.  Her previous owner still rides every week so they are both living their dream.

A wonderful woman who has since become a great volunteer and a mentor for the Mounted Eagles donated Wind Dancer to us.  She wanted him to have a home where he could enjoy what he does and use his talents to help people.  He is most gentle and caring when he carries the little riders bareback.  He seems to love the feel of their little bodies on his back with their bare feet and hands against his coat.  His head drops, his gait slows and he listens intently with both ears.  This is where Wind Dancer excels and you can see it in his expressions.
