Meet The Team

2000 Grey Quarter Horse Gelding
Sir Huggy Bear
Likes: Fresh grass, hanging out in a stall, and going to fun new places
Dislikes: Turning in tight circles and long workouts
​
Teddy was our first horse to join the BMYR team in 2017 and he made the trip up from Houston, TX with our founders' family. Teddy has a very deep sense of peace to him and he loves holding space for kids and parents who are grieving.

2000 Sorrel Quarter Horse Gelding
Divis Charge
Likes: Grooming sessions, Fig Newtons, and getting to be included in Ranch sessions
Dislikes: Having his hooves soaked
Ace came to the Ranch in November of 2022. He has lived his whole life with a family near Houston and needed a wonderful home to live out the rest of his days. He has been a joy to have around. He is our introvert so the kids that work with him sometimes have to work a little harder to keep Ace engaged and interested in the task at hand.

2007 Bay Thoroughbred
BJ's Party Dice
Homer came to the Ranch the week of Thanksgiving in 2023. He needed a soft place to land for the rest of his years and there was just something about him that made us say yes to bringing him home. He's a super sweet 17-hand boy and he has already charmed all the kids (and parents!). He had a few unexpected medical needs arise in his first year here, but he is fully recovered and ready to become a part of more of our Ranch sessions.

2022 Cremello Quarter Horse
Charlie's Flintlock
Flint joined the Ranch team in January 2026, just after we lost both Pokey and Arrow. We are excited to have such a young horse to bring along in our program. He is so sweet and he loves trail rides. When we were looking to add a new horse, we had a really specific wish list of what we needed for continued growth in our session program. Flint ticked all the boxes and then some! He is going to be a lot of fun for our sessions this coming year!
Our Heavenly Horses

2003 American Paint Horse Gelding
Elle's Splash
Likes: Performing circus pony tricks, being the boss of the herd, and anything involving a treat
Dislikes: Being told what to do or not being listened to
Pokey joined the BMYR team in August 2018. He loves working with connection and is a very honest, forthright horse that wants his opinion to be heard and considered. He absolutely loves working with kids and he gives his all when a child is on his back.
We laid Pokey to rest in September of 2025. We are so grateful for the many lives he touched and we will always miss him.

2012 Paint x Draft Cross Gelding
Charlie's Arrow
Likes: Playing and being part of the Ranch activities
Dislikes: The dentist
​
Arrow joined the BMYR team in the spring of 2022. He was 10 years old and had never been started under saddle as a riding horse. Over the winter, we got Arrow started and he will spend the 2023 season coming along in our program as the next steps towards his role as a mounted program horse.
​
We lost Arrow in late December of 2025 after he suffered an unsurvivable pasture injury. We laid him to rest next to his best friend Pokey.

1987 Standard Donkey
Uncle Ebert
Ebert came to the Ranch in the spring of 2021, just after we tragically lost our Eeyore. We needed to make sure Earl had a donkey friend and Ebert was donated by a local family who had just gotten Ebert out of a bad situation. He's had a long, hard life and we do everything we can to make sure he knows he is loved and cared for.
We laid Ebert to rest in the October 2023. He was so very loved and is missed every day.
