HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!
It’s Cinco de Mayo… but at Rainbow, we’re celebrating a little differently, with Cinco de MAUI 🐴🌮 Skip the margaritas and mariachi — this holiday is all about one of our hero horses, Maui!
With Give Local Piedmont Day just a week away, we’re sharing five fun facts about Maui and why horses like him mean so much to our riders.
1/ Snack enthusiast—bananas and apple muffins are at the top of his list
2/ A Dutch Warmblood standing at a perfectly compact 15.2 hands
3/ Former hunter/jumper star, known for his rhythm, style, and smooth rounds
4/ Proud holder of the “Most Lovable Snoot” title (as voted by staff)
5/ Best friends with Casino
Our horses like Maui give so much. They help our riders grow in confidence, gain physical strength, and create brighter futures. Simply being around a horse can calm the nervous system and support emotional regulation. In the saddle, the rhythm of their movement helps riders with physical challenges relax and engage their bodies. And that steady, nonjudgmental companionship gives students a trusted friend to connect with—something that can make a real difference for those navigating mental health challenges.
Just $5 treats Maui to a big bunch of bananas, $15 adds a generous bag of carrots, and $50 helps cover his monthly supplements.
