She works with clients daily and though she has a few favorites, she adores everyone. During her down time, she can be found sleeping on the lawn in the sun, laying in many of the streams around the farm to cool off, and watching the horses graze.

is another one of our therapy dogs here on the farm and he’s also the son of Phoebe. He works on the farm daily alongside Phoebe. He is a very intuitive animal and takes pride in his connections to other people. He knows when clients are experiencing an emotion and will cofacilitate with Aubrey to alert her to different needs of the clients. When Huey is off duty, he can be found swimming in the pond, eating snacks, and taking care of his family.
Remi (born in 1999)
passed away in August of 2023. He was the first horse to begin our program here as well as Aubrey’s personal mount. He will be honored as a part of herd and his spirit will remain in our hearts forever. He will be missed daily nickering in the barn for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and being Aubrey’s trusted cofacilitator through countless sessions. He rests under a rose bush near the counseling office to remain close to those he cherished near and dear.

She can be seen enjoying the sun and green grass out in the pasture, playing with her herd members, or getting into mischief in the barn.
Beau (born in 2015)
is a Gypsy Vanner we rescued when he was three. When he first arrived he was shy, untrained, and had a broken spirit. He has developed into a favorite here and is used more than any other horse in the herd. He has formed lasting connections with many clients at Mountain View Farms and he continues to steel the hearts of those who meet him each year. On his days off he can be found jumping and playing in the pasture like a big dog so proud of all his moves!

is a Belgian draft horse who has driven for the Amish most of his life. Timbie is a confident driving horse and continues to build his skills under saddle. Timbie loves children and will put his head down low so that he can enjoy a cuddle. In his previous life he worked really hard and didn’t know what it was like to be loved by humans. During his time here he has learned to love his new job and appreciate any connection he can have with people.
