A huge THANK YOU to the amazing UTSA Top Scholars students who came out this past Saturday and jumped right in to help! 💛

It's and we're diving into a new series about tack! For our non-equestrian friends, tack is used to describe any number of items and equipment worn by horses when working with humans.

🐴 Meet the Herd Monday: Beau

Beau joined The Saddle Light Center herd in 2017.

Born in 2004, this handsome 16.2-hand Thoroughbred gelding had a difficult start to life. After being injured and abandoned during his racing career, he was rescued and given a second chance.

With patience and care, Beau regained trust and began a new career in dressage and riding work.

Today, this gentle giant is a wonderful therapy partner. His strong frame and smooth gait make him a great match for many of our larger riders.

Beau is proof that second chances can lead to something truly special. 💙🐴

✨ Follow along each Monday to meet the horses who make the magic happen at The Saddle Light Center.
