Jet is our Rockstar!
He is our only non-Thoroughbred horse, an Appaloosa, who was donated to our Program by an elderly gentleman who wanted a good life for him. Jet is 25 years young and has composure, manners and an extraordinary sense of understanding when someone is in need of healing. He is an amazing horse and is trained beyond measure. He is famous for visiting Nursing Homes and Rehabilitation Facilities. Jet is also trained to assists inside facilities, at bedside sessions with Residents and Hospice Patients. We are blessed to have this amazing Horse as a vital part of our Healing with Horses Louisiana Program.

Fun Fact
Jet likes to visit us on our back porch and will literally push the door open to peak inside the house!
He is our real superstar, who travels to different locations, bringing our equine therapy to those who no longer can get out or are too sick.
You may see him strolling the streets of Folsom or even taking a Snapchat selfie on Highway 40! Mostly, you’ll find him visiting patients in numerous places, bringing a gentleness and smile to everyone he meets!
Jet is so special
There is a very tender story I would love to share that happened with him on his first visit to a nursing home.
We were visiting patients and enjoying the beauty of each individual. Every now and then, we would take a brief break.
Each time, Jet would pull me over towards a certain window of the facility. This was very out of character for him, as he never does anything I don’t ask of him. He continued to pull me to this particular window.
After him doing this 3 to 4 times, I finally asked the coordinator if there was something going on in that area.
Well, she stopped in her tracks when I asked, then very softly said, “Yes. There is a patient who is dying in that room.” We both literally were stunned and moved to tears. Jet absolutely knew what was happening. His head would drop low and he had a change about him while we were near that window.
The man did pass as we were there and I cannot fully describe what we all felt, but I do know that horses really do have a sense of compassion more than any of us can understand.
So there you have it! The little horse with more heart and wisdom than any of us could have ever imagined!
This is JET!
