The Shea Center has a select group of exceptional horses labeled as “staff only.” What does this mean? These horses, due to their unique personalities, receive specialized, one-on-one training from highly skilled staff or volunteers. This focused attention helps them grow into the incredible therapy horses that our clients, staff, and volunteers know and love.

These horses are learning to navigate the daily tasks and responsibilities of their important roles. So, the next time you see a “staff only” horse in the crossties or during a lesson, you can smile, knowing The Shea Center is committed to helping each horse reach its full potential before introducing them to a broader team of volunteers.

Our current “staff only” horses are:

Bella

Boots

Cap’n Jack

Easy

Huckleberry

Pearl

Warrior
