Our Herd – Orlando Animal Volunteer Opportunities

Murphy arrived at The Scotty Foundation in 2014 at the age of 2 years old. Mrs. Susan originally purchased him as a personal horse and he was one of the original horses at the ranch! Murphy loves to manipulate his way into being lazy horse when he doesn’t want to work. This horse loves to just lounge around and eat apples. Being a Tennessee walker, he is a gaited horse and loves to show off his prance as well!

Flicka was rescued in Florida as she was left in a field to die with no food or water. She came to the ranch in 2014 when she was only 4 years old. Flicka is one of the 15,000 worldwide Rocky Mountain horses. She is the head of the herd and very dominate. Most days, she loves to gallop down the pasture and jump poles in our arena. Even though she loves to dominate, she is so sweet and gives gentle kisses to all those that ask.

Tiny is the largest horse at The Scotty Foundation. She was rescued from Atlanta and brought to the foundation in 2017 when she was 9 years old. While her size would make her a great carriage horse, her personality was too gentle to be lugging carts around down the street. Because Tiny is so big, she eats twice as much as the other horses. Despite her size, she is often bullied by some of the more dominate horses. However, she is a gentle giant and loves everyone.

Skye was born at The Scotty Foundation in September 2015. Since his mother is on site, he is very lucky to be able to stay with his mother as most young horses are taken away. He can be sweet and affectionate; however, Skye is still young and learning his manners. He is a natural jumper and sometimes you can catch him trying to clear gates on his own. He is slowly learning to work under the saddle and is most suited for our experienced riders at this time.

Biscuit was saved by the foundation before he was euthanized for Founder Hoof disease in 2016. He was only 7 yrs old when he came to the foundation and has become one of our biggest rockstars. His condition is controlled by diet and exercise. Biscuit has a gentle, sweet, loving, carefree personality which makes him a great therapy horse. He is often seen around town when the foundation does community outreach events or special occasions involving small children.

In 2018, Smokey arrived at The Scotty Foundation after his previous owner was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He is 10 yrs old and an appaloosa pony. Smokey is often found sneaking through gates and looking for people to hang out with. He is a feisty little spit fire and loves children. Smokey has recently taken up his past love of jumping and is now beginning to show his true colors here at the ranch.
