Reo
Sponsored by the Build-a-Bear Workshop Kennel Pals Foundation
Reo's registered name is Diamond Reo, and he was born in 1989. His breed is American Baskir Curly and his coloring is red roan appaloosa. His curliness is more evident in the winter when he has waves/curls all over his body. After he sheds out for summer he retains curls on his legs, in his ears and his mane. Reo came to the EquiFriends program in 2001 and became a solid addition to the stable because he is so versatile. He can handle riders of all sizes, and students who are in need of much volunteer assistance as well as those learning to be independent. Reo can also be driven in long lines, which is a skill used for many therapeutic riding students. Reo is calm and tolerant of the activities that are involved with our program.
