Name:  Mount Pleasant Ebbtide also know as Ebby, formerly nicknamed "Speedy Gonzales"

Date of Birth:  1968

Breed:  Morgan horse

How horse came to Ranger:  Ebby had a long career under saddle, first as a show pony then as a girls riding school mount. Prior to coming to the Ranger Foundation in February 2003, he was a good solid and reliable therapeutic riding horse at Hope Springs Equestrian Therapy in Chester Springs, PA.

Interesting characteristics or anecdotes:  According to a former owner, Ebby was used at a camp where he would swim in a river with children on his back!  Prior to being gelded, he was quite a handful, disliking men and the farrier.

Special care needs:  Ebby has a mild case of heaves but medication has not been needed to date.  He also is allergic to something in his diet or environment.  However, we  found that he has done much better this year after eliminating soy from his diet. 

Favorite Ranger Buddies:  Ebby likes to hang out with Gary Owens and Poco.

Ebby passed away June 29, 2007
