✨Centenary Horse Spotlight✨

Meet Buddy! A true staple of our IDA team, Buddy is a horse that everyone knows and loves. With his sweet personality and kind nature, he has a way of making every rider feel right at home in the saddle. Whether he’s in the arena or hanging out around the barn, Buddy is always there to make someone’s day a little better!

Buddy did a some hunter classes before beginning his dressage path! He showed up to first level, but has training up to fourth level! Buddy has been in a paradressage program and now does First Level at Centenary’s IDA shows! He truly is a favorite on the team!

We are incredibly grateful to our generous donors for donating horses like Buddy to our program and helping provide our riders with these amazing opportunities! 💙🌪️
