Guinness
Guinness loves nothing more than a nice walk in the great outdoors — except for maybe his cookies. He is friendly and outgoing, and loves to greet any horse that’s close enough for him to reach.

Guinness is an exemplar of the Gypsy Vanner breed. He’s friendly, curious, and calm, and he brings a wealth of experience from the hunt field and the dressage arena to his work at Bridle Paths. In every capacity of his work with us, whether a riding lesson for a child with autism and ADHD, an equine-assisted learning session about boundaries for young adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder, or an equine-assisted psychotherapy session with area veterans, he offers participants the gifts of acceptance, peace, and presence. He has both orthopedic and metabolic challenges (including Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy, or EPSM) that necessitate daily medication and careful management of his diet. Guinness brings wisdom and purpose to his work with the program, and is an invaluable member of the team.
Guinness’ kind demeanor, unflappable presence, and versatility have made him a fast favorite among participants and volunteers alike.
