Kachina

Kachina, born on May 1, 2005, was donated by a Woodside family who wanted her to have a job. Kachina regularly visits children at Ronald McDonald House and local homeless shelters for families, as well as senior citizens in assisted living facilities, and inmates in local jails.

Ayana ("Yaya")

Yaya was part of a herd of miniature horses rescued by the Peninsula Humane Society, and we adopted her in 2009. Since Yaya is a rescue, we don't know her exact birthday, but the veterinarians estimate she was born sometime towards the end of 2008.

Henry Kapono

Our surprise baby was born on July 30, 2010. Henry Kapono earned his name through a "name the baby contest", and has been visited several times by the real Henry Kapono from Hawaii! Destined for life as a support horse, our little Henry has entertained visitors since he was 3 days old.
