Greetings! Based on your suggestions and insight, we are posting profile photos and biographical details on all our equine partners. We will post what is ready, when it is ready. I hope you enjoy getting to know them all!
Meet Our Equine Partners
Every horse—and every mule—who joins our program brings a story, a personality, and a unique set of gifts. Some arrive highly trained. Others require patience, trust, and time. All of them have something important to teach us.
Our equine partners have worked cattle, competed in the arena, carried law enforcement officers, participated in search and rescue, supported therapeutic programs, and introduced countless people to the joy and confidence that comes from working with a horse.
Most importantly, they have learned to trust us—and we have learned to trust them.

Scooby Doo
Shire × Fell Pony | 17 hands | Approximately 1,500 lbs.
Who is 17 hands, 1,500 pounds, and moves like a cat?
You guessed it: Scooby.
Scooby was trained by a competitive Californios-style roper, and he approaches cattle work with the athleticism and determination of a much smaller horse. He drops his front end and gets low to the cow, earning him the reputation of a 1,500-pound cat.
Our Founder, Tim, purchased Scooby at the Jake Clark Cody, Wyoming Sale several years ago. Together, they have competed in CSHA Trail Trials, Team Penning, and Team Sorting, earning their fair share of top honors along the way.
Scooby's talents extend far beyond competition. Each year, he traveled to Norco, California, to help teach Mounted Patrol to law enforcement officers from throughout California and beyond. His calm, steady nature earned him a reputation as an exceptionally reliable police mount, and he has successfully completed all POST-certified mounted riding classes.
Today, Scooby and Tim serve as primary members of the Marin Sheriff’s Mounted Posse, participating in search and rescue, parades, color guard, and fallen-officer funeral details. Each year, you can find them riding in the Petaluma Veterans Day Flyover Parade.
And then there are the things that simply don't bother Scooby.
Gunfire? Fine.
Fireworks? Fine.
Smoke? Sirens? Fine.
A zombie apocalypse?
Apparently, also fine.
(I don’t recall the details of the apocalypse, so please don’t ask.)
Scooby accepts new riders, ground handlers, and passersby with remarkable ease. He has carried many, many heroes on their first rides and beyond. Tim confidently rides him alone in wilderness areas, trusting Scooby to take care of both himself and his rider.
Scooby is the kind of horse who gives you confidence simply by being there.
He is THAT kind of mount.
