Our Horses
Benji
Benji came to us from a farm in Northwestern WI. He stands about 14.1 HH and has a very friendly personality. He loves people and would rather have someone close by and touching him rather than be alone. he is the “people horse” of the group. He is a very good boy and has become a great asset to our program. will follow you around everywhere. We look forward to Benji’s becoming an intracule part of our program.
Boone
Boone came to us from Southern Minnesota. He is a striking 16.2 Chestnut Warmblood who carries himself in a very Regal Manner. He loves people and would rather have someone close by and touching him rather than be alone. Boone has big motion when he moves and his rider feels as tho they are floating thru the air. He lacks a little in patience when asked to stand by the wall but that is because he is the “people horse” of the group. He is a very good boy and has become a great asset to our program.
Chips
Chips is a Quarter Horse Cross Gelding and stands right at 16HH. His stout stature makes him an excellent candidate for our larger more independent riders. Chips is on an open-end lease to us from one of our volunteers, Colette Meyer. He will be learning his job for the first three months and a determination will be made as to if he is right for ME and ME is right for him. Stay tuned to see if he stays around. We are very confident he will.
Gunner
Welcome to Mounted Eagles, Gunner! We hope you are happy being with us. Gunner joined us on Monday, May 13th, 2024. He came from a trail/ranch horse family. We are looking forward to seeing how he adapts to being a ME partner.

Gunner is a 16-year-old Paint Horse gelding. He stands 15.2 inches tall. He will bring lots of joy to the riders at Mounted Eagles.
Leo
Leo (formerly known as Jingles) is a 6-year-old Miniature Horse gelding. He came to us from a family in Pillager where he was best friends with their youngest daughter. She grew so fast and became too big to ride him any more. They had years of showing in horse shows and winning lots of ribbons and prizes. He will bring lots of joy to participants in our program who cannot ride for some reason but enjoy being with us and the horses.
Lacey
Lacey was purchased from a family located near Bagley, MN. She had been with the family since she was born and was loved by all. The focus of trail riding changed for the family so they wanted to find a good home where Lacey would be loved and have a great job. She found that very home with Mounted Eagles. We are looking forward to a long happy relationship with Lacey and our riders.
Woody & Ace
Woody and Ace are Equicizers and joined Mounted Eagles in Feb 2016. We were able to purchase them through a generous grant from the Gessner-Johnson Foundation.
Ace, the Bay, is named in honor of our beloved Ace who served in the program for 9 years and left us for those greener pastures in the sky in April 2015. The new Ace sports a sweet little “heart” on his forehead to honor the huge heart that Ace had for the program participants. He will forever remain in our hearts as well.
Woody, the Buckskin, was named by the program participants at the annual Awards Banquet. Woody was a very popular name suggestion and won by a landslide. He will be a real asset to the program too!
Woody and Ace will be the main modality of services for those individuals who join our program who cannot for some reason interact with the real horses. They will also be intertwined into the lesson plans of all other riders so they can learn more in a different setting. The use of the Equicizers will help our participants enhance their balance, gain muscle strength, work on hand coordination and many other actions they might find difficult to achieve.
