Say hello to Calypso
Hi, I’m Calypso!
A little about me:
My Registered Name is Calypso.
I am Loved by all of Kingswood Farm.
My birthday was a long time ago, and I am a 26-year old Quarter Horse gelding.
I don’t know my real parents, but was lovingly adopted by Karen, Paul, and Kristen.
My favorite thing in the world is Kingswood Farm where I can play outside with all my horse friends, get groomed all the time, and eats lots of good treats that Trixie picks out for us.
My Past Riding Experience:
I’ve had a different past than most of the horses here. I used to round cattle at farms out West for my job. Since I was so good at it, I competed at horse shows in the Team Roping and Cattle Penning divisions. I was pretty good at it and enjoyed the responsibilities of making sure all the cows got to the place they needed to be. Although some cows can be stubborn, I have a knack for speaking cow and reasoning with them.
My Most Favorite Memory:
My most favorite memory is the day Karen decided I could help out at Wings and Hooves. After having an important and steady job for so long, it was nice to know that I was needed in a different capacity. I may be old and arthritic, but I’m still really useful and can help the therapeutic riding program in whatever way they need me.
My Job at Kingswood Farm:
My job here is to be a loving companion to any horse at Kingswood because I get along with everyone. (Probably because I’ve met so many cows and horses during my lifetime!) I’m also responsible for helping riders become confident and successful. It’s so nice to know that I’m needed here at Wings and Hooves.
