Merrylegs, a 10-year-old, 7.3 hand chestnut and white pinto mare, arrived at CKRH in December of 2006. She began working in the classes soon thereafter. She continue to provide services to CKRH participants through various types of non-mounted lessons, including Life Skills and Showmanship. The size and personality make her an excellent choice for creating lessons for individuals who might not be ready for a full-sized horse.

Merrylegs was donated to the program by Stacey Lentz of Columbia, TN. Stacey, who bred and showed miniature horses for many years, decided that after becoming a cancer survivor, she wanted to utilize her horses as a way to give something back to the world. She now breeds and donates miniatures specifically for programs that provide equine-assisted services to individuals with disabilities.
