Riley

Breed: Belgian Draft
​My Story: Riley once lived a lonely life as an only horse in an unkempt and unfit living space. She was rescued at an early age and has been participating in equine assisted psychotherapy since its inception with EAT of NJ. She is the boss lady on the farm and the cornerstone of her family. Don't let her big size fool you; Riley has a heart of gold. 

Leila

Breed: Irish Draft
​My Story: Leila arrived in NJ in 2023 after traveling a long ways from Canada. She is one of our "Irish Lasses" here at the farm. Leila shines at Liberty.  She loves hanging with her girls in the herd.  ​

Dandi

Breed: Irish Draft
​My Story: Dandy arrived at the farm from the Smoky Mountains in 2023. She is our original "Irish Lass" here at EAT of NJ. She's got a big personality and still learning her place in the herd. She is the baby of the family!

Julio

Breed: Warmblood
​My Story: Julio was climbing the Dressage ladder and winning competitions down in Florida until he developed a painful allergic reaction to a native Floridian fly. His human found EAT of NJ and sent him up north in 2016 so he could live pain free. Julio gets along with every horse in the herd,  as he is a "go with the flow" type of guy.  Julio helps new riders learn the basics and helps advanced riders play with his dressage skills. He is also an excellent addition to the psychotherapy team.

Diva

Breed: Appaloosa 
​My Story: Diva was previously used to breed foals before being rescued and adopted into the care of EAT of NJ. She is extremely athletic and loves to GO (only if it is her idea, though).  Diva is a relationship girl and truly shines in psychotherapy.

Bear

Breed: Quarter Horse
​My Story: Bear is our resident senior citizen who was once a jumping champion. He has helped teach hundreds of young riders the basics of horse back riding and show ring etiquette. You can still see the glimmer in his eyes when he’s around cavalettis but he has since slowed down and enjoys the part he plays in psychotherapy.

Smoke

Breed: Quarter Horse
​My Story: Smoke spent most of his youth around cowboys. He was gelded late and displays some stallion tendencies when in a herd. As a result, Smoke spends most of his time in a “bachelor” paddock on his own. He once shined in the riding program but is now a dedicated member of the psychotherapy team.

Suzi

Breed: Appaloosa
​My Story: Suzie is the newest addition to our farm. She is kindhearted and grounded and we love her dearly! Diva is also happy to have another Appy in the herd!

Barn Cats

My Story: Many moons ago a feral cat and had a liter of kittens in the wall of the barn. We rescued and adopted her and her babies. We now have Momma Cat, Panther, and Tiger Lily as the resident mousers of EAT of NJ. They also love to join in on psychotherapy sessions from time to time too!

Tessa

My Story: Tessa never met a creature she didn't love (minus the cats). She loves making new friends and lives her best life as a farm dog. ​

In Memoriam: Patriot Moon AKA Buddy

Breed: Paint
​My Story: Buddy spent a lot of time with his mamma, kind of like the son who never moves out! He was affectionately known as Muddy Buddy as he loved the occasional mud bath. Buddy sadly transitioned in May 2025. He is remembered as a friend to all who helped so many humans and horses during his time on earth. We love and miss you dearly, Buddy.
