About Scamp
Scamp is a 26yo (1999) bay Quarter Horse gelding who arrived at Dove Creek in 2009. He had some lameness coming out of the feed yard, so he wasn’t able to be used anymore in that capacity. After time at Dove Creek, Scamp has healed his issue and did some cattle work for the ranch some years ago. He has been one of our “go-to” horses under saddle and on the ground as a teaching horse, and combined with his great personality, Scamp has been a great asset to the Rescue! The volunteers love Scamp, and with his curious and playful personality, he has become a favorite of everyone! As he ages, he has become part of the Healing Herd used in the Led By Horses program – Equine Assisted Learning – assisting others in healing emotional imbalances. Scamp is magnificent!
