January 2024: Ryefel
Horse of the Month Q&A
Question 1 How long have you been a therapy horse?
I started in 2006 when I was 13 years old. Before that, I was a lesson horse for beginners.
Question 2 Did you ever know Blaze?
Blaze was my best friend from 1995 to 2015 when he passed away. When the barn was built, they had to add a window between my stall and Blaze’s so we could see each other.
Question 3 What is your favorite activity to do?
I enjoy a quiet morning with my basket of peanut hay before playing with whippersnapper, Asa, over the pasture fence.
Question 4 Who is your best friend now?
Blaze has been my best friend since 1995. When he passed, I didn’t find another best friend until my cousin, Neriah, came along 2 years later.
Question 5 What do you love most about HTF?
What I love most is talking to everyone and telling them to bring me my most favorite treat, butterscotch, from the treat room.
Question 6 What are your hidden talents?
My hidden talent is my ability to observe a situation and handle it safely for both my rider and myself. Once, I helped a rider stay safe who had seizures by standing completely still until she was okay.
