Meet Newt — Our Movie Star
Hi, I’m Newt! They call me the movie star around here!
You may have spotted me on screen — I made my debut as an extra in Lonesome Dove. After that, I walked the Trail of Tears with my good friend Cowboy Phil Moore, who later donated me to EB so I could continue making an impact in a new way.
Now, I’m proud to call Equestrian Bridges home, and I’m thrilled to have landed such a special “role” where I get to shine every single day.
At EB, my routine includes spending time with my best buddy Frosty, getting pampered by volunteers, and helping kids learn to ride. I’m known as the calm, forgiving teacher who helps new riders build confidence and feel safe around horses.
Whether I’m getting loved on or giving the love, I’m always ready for whatever the day brings.
Come meet me at EB — I can’t wait to say hi!

Meet Apollo — The New Guy
Apollo is a four-year-old palomino Quarter Horse gelding who traveled all the way from California to begin his journey as a therapy horse here at Equestrian Bridges.
Standing 15 hands tall, Apollo’s golden dappled coat and creamy white mane and tail turn heads wherever he goes — but it’s his temperament and training that truly make him special.
Apollo is fancy-trained with all the buttons, setting riders up for success from the very first ride. He has done it all — from trail rides and parades to roping and more — and nothing seems to phase him. His calm, steady nature makes him a perfect fit for our program.
Apollo is currently in training to become an EB therapy horse, and we are so excited to watch the impact he will make with our riders.
Welcome to the bridge, Apollo

Meet Gracie — The Bachelorette
Hi, I’m Gracie! I’m the only lady in the big horse crew—and I definitely know it!
With a little charisma, a little willfulness, and a whole lot of heart, I bring my own kind of energy to Equestrian Bridges. At 18 years old, I’ve learned a thing or two, and I love sharing that with everyone I meet.
I’m always the first to seek out attention—whether that’s a gentle pat, a good grooming session, or being reminded how pretty I am (which I fully agree with, by the way).
At EB, I spend my days helping new riders feel safe and confident. I’m patient, steady, and especially love working with clients who are just getting started. Groundwork is one of my strengths, and I take pride in being a calm and dependable partner.
Whether I’m getting loved on or giving the love, I’m always ready for whatever the day brings.

Meet Chance — The Gentle Giant
Hi, I’m Chance! I’m one of the tallest horses here at Equestrian Bridges—and definitely one of the most laid-back.
Before coming to EB, I was a trail horse, so I’ve always loved long, easy rides and taking in the world at a slower pace. As a Tennessee Walker, smooth and steady is kind of my thing.
I absolutely adore attention—if you’ve got time to spend with me, I’m all in! Whether it’s a quiet moment, a gentle ride, or just some extra love, I’m happiest when I’m connecting with people.
At EB, I do my best to be a calm, go-with-the-flow partner for my riders. I especially enjoy helping those who need a steady, relaxed experience in the saddle. I appreciate when things are taken nice and slow, and I’ll always do my part to create a safe, peaceful ride.
And if I do something right, I won’t say no to a little praise—I really like knowing I did a good job.
Come meet me at EB—I’d love to spend some time with you!
