R.O.C.K. therapy horse, Romeo
Georgetown’s Ride On Center for Kids held a special retirement party for two of its most popular employees July 20. Herd favorites Romeo and Goliath will be off to new homes soon after years of gentle therapy for many grateful R.O.C.K. clients.
Goliath, true to his name, is a gentle giant who was a favorite among the veteran riders. He will be going home to live with his original owners, who are happy to have him back. Romeo, who is best known for being the calmest of the herd, and sticking his tongue out, will have a new home with Sandy and Thomas Watson. Their daughter, Amanda, rode Romeo for some time before she passed away and her parents gratefully accepted him from a tearful R.O.C.K. staff.
Romeo’s friend, Analise reads a letter to the retiree
The agency is always looking for good, gentle horses to provide hippotherapy for over 200 clients, and any who can fill Romeo’s and Goliath’s big shoes. Contact Lindsey at 512-930-7625.
