Petey
The Special Riders Horse
Donated by Pat Forbes
Petey the Special Riders Horse holds a special place in our hearts. Donated by a supporter of the Therapeutic Equestrian Center, a nonprofit providing therapeutic horseback riding lessons for veterans and individuals with mental and physical disabilities, Petey symbolizes compassion and support. He wears a pink heart-shaped breastplate adorned with sparkling heart-shaped gems. The strap carries the inspiring message, “Enriching the mind, body & spirit.”
Petey’s saddle blanket beautifully depicts a person enjoying a horseback riding lesson. This figure is sponsored by Pat Forbes, a board member at the Therapeutic Equestrian Center, in honor of her mother Jeanne K. Tosi. Petey stands as a symbol of tenderness and care to all his riders.
