A wonderful horse, waiting for me, as beautiful as horses can be.    Grace Edwards

Our Horses


Somewhere, somewhere, in God's own space, there must be some sweet, pastured place
Where creeks sing on, and tall trees grow; some paradise where horses go.
For by the love that guides my pen, I know great horses live again.

We lost Legacy due to colic/liver failure on Friday, October 17th, 2008.

Abby
I am a bay Morab (Morgan/Arabian) pony mare, and my birthday is 5-10-83. My registered Morab name is Zippy Genie. I came to Flying Changes Center in 2000. I’ve taught hundreds of students to ride over the years, and I especially love teaching beginners. I can walk, trot, canter, and jump.



Mystery
I am a bay Thoroughbred gelding, and my birthday is 2-27-85. My full name is “Mystery Dance.” My grandfather was a Thoroughbred racehorse, Native Dancer. I came to Flying Changes from a background of Combined Training (dressage, cross-country and stadium jumping). Since coming to Flying Changes in 1999, I’ve worked with many groups and individuals in the riding program and the Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy program.




Phia
I am a Norwegian Fjord mare, and my birthday is 6-26-87. I was born at Fjord Gate Farm in Norway, Maine, and my registered Fjord name is Adella. My haircut is traditional to the Fjord breed, and I grow a thick winter coat each winter. (In this photo, you can see that I get trace clipped on my body since my coat is so shaggy.) Flying Changes Center purchased me from my previous owner in Vermont back in 1996. In 2000, I was named the NARHA New England Region Therapy Horse of the Year. I know how to ride, jump, and drive, and I love working with students in the developmental vaulting program.



Rembrandt (Remi)
I am a grey Percheron cross gelding, and I was born in 1985. On February 15, 2007, my owner Sue Pratt donated me to Flying Changes to become part of the herd here. Sue and I spent 17 years doing dressage, driving, and a little jumping, and thanks to her efforts, I’m a great schoolmaster for all levels of students at Flying Changes. Before Sue bought me at age 5, I drove a wagon across the country (over the course of three years) to help my previous owner raise money for the American Cancer Society. Hana Poulin, one of Flying Changes’ volunteers, remembers me from those days when I was young and learning to drive at her dad, Larry Poulin’s farm (my name was “Scout” then).



Spring
I am a chestnut Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred mare, and my birthday is 4-23-80. My full name is “A Touch of Spring.” I was donated to Flying Changes Center in 1995 by Joan Harrigan. I have experience playing Parelli games and working with all sorts of students. I’m ridden in many beginner lessons and I love to work with the Coffin Elementary School groups. I’m also used in the Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy program. I love connecting with people.


Erwin
I am a miniature horse. My birthday is 2-14-87 (I’m a Valentine horse – check out the heart-shaped spot on my butt!). I came to Flying Changes Center in 1997, and my main job is pulling the cart for Flying Changes in the Bath Heritage Days and other parades each summer. I am a whiz at driving and I’m great with obstacle courses.


Lily
I am a black miniature horse, and my birthday is 6-10-92. My full name is “Little Wonder’s Daylily.” In 2002, Flying Changes Center received a grant from Bowdoin College’s Common Good student grant making program to purchase me to help with Flying Changes’ therapeutic outreach programs. My favorite activity is going to visit people in senior centers, assisted living facilities, hospitals, and anyplace I can make people smile. I love to be patted and will lean against you for a good scratch.
