Island
Foaled in 1998 in Great Britain, Island’s racing career included 21 starts and over $81,000 in earnings. Island had done close to 7,000 hours of work when he retired from mounted lessons in 2023. He was a part of our therapeutic and able bodied lesson programs, continues in our Equine Assisted Learning and Counseling sessions, and has participated in 16 years of summer camps, horse shows, tours, and fundraisers. Even after his retirement, Island continues in our EAL and EAC programs, and he showcases the sensitivity and empathy of the thoroughbred with each interaction—entertaining a client with his goofy antics in one and providing a safe space and listening ear in another. Thank you for your years of hard work, Island!

No task too big or small, Teri is happy to jump in and help with whatever needs to be done in order to keep things running smoothly. She loves coming to Grooming Gang and seeing all the horses, riders, volunteers and supporters thriving, and has gone above and beyond in support by sponsoring Island. Teri states, “I’m so glad Ivey Ranch is there and always doing great things!” We are happy you’re here with us, too!
