Horses come to us with all types of backgrounds and from many different situations. Some are donated and some are loaned.
At Morning Dove our horses are selected based on their gentle temperament, size, movement and overall demeanor.
All horses go through a trial period to assess their health and their willingness for this type of work. They encounter
many different situations than they may be used to and we want to ensure that they are an appropriate fit for our
program. We individualize a training plan for each horse. This plan includes testing them with all of our adaptive
equipment and arena props as well as exposing them to as many scenarios as possible. We make sure they are comfortable
with ramps, wheelchairs, riders who are unable to balance, noises and so much more.
