Petra
Our Equine Ambassador
Petra came to High Hopes in the winter of 1999 from a local farm here in Connecticut. Petra serves our participants by being one of our most stoic, reliable and tolerant horses. She has a sweet disposition when it comes to her work in class. Petra’s favorite activity is eating. She does not appreciate being taken away from her food under any circumstances! Petra is one of the most unique looking horses in the herd with a dark stripe that runs the length of her body from her ears to her tail! Her mane is “roached” to show off her two-toned coloring.
