Cloudburst
Cloudburst won Martha Stewart’s National Halloween Photo Contest.
When it comes to working as a therapy horse, Cloudburst does it all. He has worked inside hospitals, Ronald McDonald Houses, hospice programs, assisted living programs, schools, libraries, book and literacy festivals and even a Dance-a-thon for the Children’s Miracle Network.
Cloudburst has a long history of working with children who have learning challenges. He seems to connect with young children in a special way.
Nickname: Cloud.
Appearance: Cloudburst looks very dramatic when he is running in the pasture with his striking pattern.
Special Skills: Cloudburst loves to carry things around. He went from room to room during Halloween at a children’s hospital carrying a Trick or Treat bag. He also walked into a veterans event carrying a flag on the 4th of July. When he is on the farm Cloud is always picking something up to play with.
Favorite Thing: Cloudburst loves to play ball just like his brothers Scout and Anthem.
Personality: Cloudburst wants to go on therapy visits when it is not his turn. He follows the van down the long farm driveway when it is leaving with horses. One day we found him standing inside the opened van while other horses were being groomed for a visit. Did he think we wouldn’t notice?
Best Equine Friend: Cloudburst likes Amazing Grace who is his brother Scout’s “girl”. It is a love triangle and Gracie seems to enjoy attention from both brothers.
