Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace was born while the therapy horses were working in Charleston after the tragedy at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Thousands of people sent in name ideas when she was born. We selected a name suggested by a group we worked with in Charleston.

Amazing Grace works with adults and children in hospital care and with the families of first responders.

Nickname: She is usually called Gracie.

Appearance: Gracie has long white stockings and big blue eyes.

Personality: A bit of a social climber, Gracie changes friendships quickly and always seems to have a new best friend in her herd. She is very athletic and loves to run over many acres on the farm.

Best Equine Friend: Amazing Grace was born just a few weeks after therapy horse Scout. They have spent a lot of time together because they are so close to the same age, but Scout adores her much more than she likes him. Gracie has eyes for Scout’s big brother Cloudburst. It’s a love triangle.
