The history of this amazing Morgan horse is one of the most interesting ones we have to tell. Joshua is a 22-year-old gelding donated to the center by his artist owner. She told us that before she bought him, Joshua had been a champion show horse in the Canadian Morgan Horse Association, and held titles in Equitation, Driving and Halter classes in the organization. He is a fabulous therapy horse with a wonderful disposition, much loved by all his students. One of the best things about Joshua is that he has expectations of his riders. He insists that they use the reins properly if they expect him to turn or stop. This attribute is very helpful when we work with students who really want to learn to ride and have the ability to do so. Even though he is firm in some ways, Joshua is also very gentle and patient. He takes independent riders as well as little ones who cannot sit up by themselves. He is an all-around champion to all of his friends at Magic Moments. Joshua is healthy but has severe arthritis. He eats regular feed and sees his veterinarian regularly. The farrier trims his feet about 5 times a year.
