Clifford
I was born in 1998 and spent years as a lesson and trail horse, steady and dependable.
In 2019, I lost my right eye to cancer.
I had to relearn how to move through the world with limited vision. To trust again. To stay calm when things aren’t fully in view.
Now I serve as a Horse Teacher at Spur’n Up Hope.
I work with people who feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s coming next. I help them slow down, communicate clearly, and build trust.
I don’t see the world the way I used to. But I’ve adapted, and I help others do the same.
Your support helps cover the care that keeps me comfortable and able to continue this work.
