SHINE

Shine

What do Shine, Jetta and Cooper all have in common? They are all retired barrel racing horses that enjoying the pace, smiles and activities of a therapeutic horse program. Kelsey Klutgen, our senior equine specialist and therapeutic riding instructor, knew she would love the job because of the way she took to young children. Her gentle nature and sturdy structure were just what we needed.

She really is “shining” this season.
