Don Pecos: hoofbeats in our hearts forever

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Don Pecos, a beloved Morgan who would have turned 30 next month. From the moment he arrived at Miracles in Motion—originally trained by Michelle Blackler and generously donated to our program—Don Pecos never disappointed. He was a truly exceptional horse, characterized by his intelligence, adaptability, and expressive eyes.

Don Pecos was deeply in tune with everyone around him, whether he was being groomed or carrying a rider. He was dedicated to helping both children and adults reach their full potential through our equine-assisted activities and therapies. As a vital part of every aspect of our program, he was an incredible teacher to us all.

Horses are the heart of everything we do, and the partnership we share with them makes this loss particularly difficult for our volunteers, instructors, riders and staff. While we mourn his absence, we take comfort in knowing that the impact of a horse loved so deeply remains a permanent part of our community.
