Our Retirees
Meet Abe...
Abe has been with Autumn Trails since late 2009. He is an Off-the-Track Thoroughbred that we adopted from New Vocations. Abe is registered with the Jockey Club under the name Snappy Dancer; however, he definitely had to have a new name. Cindy decided to name him Abe (after Abe Lincoln) because of his long face and serious personality. His career as a race horse was not suitable for this gentle giant, because he has one speed...SLOW! Abe helped us started our program in 2016. For two years, he took great care of his riders and loved his job. Unfortunately, due to some medical challenges, Abe had to retire in 2018. He enjoys his days in the field with his buddies Red & Jeff and the occasional kisses from his volunteers! We are so grateful to Abe for his service to ATS!

Meet Atlas...
Atlas is a Standardbred. Atlas joined our team in July of 2018. Prior to coming to ATS, Atlas was a race horse (he pulled a cart) and then worked helping Veterans in a program in North Carolina. It did not take him long to fit right into his new home at ATS. Not only did Atlas assist our Therapeutic Riding students, but every Tuesday he went to our Odyssey program to assist our Veterans & First Responders. Unfortunately, we found out that Atlas has a cervical spine compression and had to be retired from riding. So he is living out his best life in lush fields of green grass!

Meet Jefferson...
Jefferson was a huge asset to ATS for the first 4 years it existed. He is a Quarter/Morgan cross that was born in 1998. His owner, Angel, is our Equine Manager so she was kind enough to let us use him for lessons. He is part of our family here even in retirement. He's a quiet boy and loves to be groomed. He's full of personality and loves lots of attention. He is enjoying his retirement at ATS!
