 Shanelle
Shanelle is the alpha female, and the most “social” of our coaches. Shanelle loves people and will often offer a friendly “slurp” with a very big, wet tongue to those upon whom she really wants to bestow her favor. She is the Queen of the barn and takes her job as an equine coach very seriously. Sometimes it seems that Shanelle forgets she’s a horse! She has a lot of personality and is not afraid to share it with everyone she comes in contact with.
 Razzle Dazzle
Razzle is the most versatile of our coaches. She works well one-on-one with humans, is an excellent team coach, and, unlike Shanelle, she knows she’s a horse and is proud of it! Razzle is energetic, athletic and highly engaged with people when she is coaching them. She’s as curious about what humans are doing and thinking as they are about her. She likes to just “hang out” with people and has just the social posture to make things interesting in all of the exercises.
 Key to the Heart (Key)
Key loves people, and loves working with humans, but she doesn’t play too well with the other horses. Sometimes she becomes a bit confused about the fact that Shanelle is the alpha female around here and tries to assert herself as the alpha female with the other horses. This can cause some conflict in the herd – a perfect picture of what happens when groups of people get together and a good way to see that from the outside.
 Robin’s Key to a Dream (Indy)
Indy was the first horse born at the ranch. Her sire is Mr. Star Robin and mare is Key to the Heart (Key). Her registered name honors both and acknowledges that she is part of the “dream,” AKA the Vision of Renewal Ranch. Indy is the largest of the five horses in residence at the Ranch, and is self-directed and unpredictable. As you might have guessed, the “Indy” stands for independent, and she lives up to her name very well.
 Shanellegant Ice (Icee) (alias Ice Bucket)
Icee is the baby of the herd at the ranch. She shares her mother Shanelle’s social nature with more energy and enthusiasm than we might desire sometimes. She’s a perfect example of that person you know who comes with exactly the right attitude but needs lots of attention and direction to bring out the best. Icee keeps the humans she interacts with on their toes every minute and promises to grow into a powerful equine coach (that is, if she ever gets out of horse adolescence)!
