Arnie Won!

We are thrilled to announce that Kilcarna French Fancy (Arnie), a beloved 16-year-old Irish Sport Horse at Great Oak Equine Assisted Therapy in Aiken, South Carolina, has been selected as the winner of the inaugural Heart Horse Award!

This prestigious award celebrates the horses in US Equestrian’s Community Outreach Program who make an immeasurable difference in their communities. From introducing a child to their first ride to providing a calming presence for those in need, these exceptional horses are changing lives every day.

The recipient of the Heart Horse Award will be determined by member voting and honored at the 2025 USEF Pegasus Awards Dinner on January 23 in Lexington, KY.

Help Arnie Win the Heart Horse Award!
Voting is open now through 11:59 p.m. ET on November 30.

Arnie has touched countless lives through his work at Great Oak Equine Assisted Therapy, and we are proud to see him recognized for his incredible impact.

Let’s make sure Arnie gets the recognition he deserves!
