Jehan the 33-year-old gelding is a treasured member of the STRIDES Therapeutic Horseback Riding Program.

Jehan has been a part of the program for many, many years and he has taught so many people how to ride, and now is enjoying his retirement. He is still a wonderful horse for the program who specializes in groundwork and just being a lovebug, soaking up all the treats and attention from his devoted fans.

He is a barn favorite of almost everyone who comes in. In his free time, Jehan enjoys napping in the sunshine, hand grazing on grass, and a good roll in the sand. His favorite treats are soft ones like apple cereal bars because he has almost no teeth left.

Jehan also loves dressing up as a unicorn for birthday parties, special events, and petting zoo because it gets him extra attention!
