Zeus

As babies, Apollo and Zeus were rescued by their donor from a neglect situation. She had them since they were about 6 months old, and Zeke was born at the farm, after Zeus snuck into the mares’ field as a young horse! Zeke’s mother tragically passed away when he was a week old, and the family bottle-fed him as a baby. They were trained to do trail rides, and Zeus & Apollo made a great driving team to do light farm work! The donor family fell on hard times, and we are honored they made the decision to donate these three to Take Heart.

Zeus is a 17-year-old Belgian gelding with heart of gold to match his beautiful coat. Zeus is curious and eager to make new friends. He is gentle and kind but still learning how to stay attuned to human emotions in session. He is a little more herd-bound and will look for his buddies. While he isn’t throwing any lightning bolts like his namesake Greek god, his gallop certainly sounds like thunder because he is so big! Zeus is Zeke’s father, and you can see the resemblance in their beautiful white blazes on their faces. His name means “shine” – this is God’s word for him – and we feel that he is going to help people find healing so they can truly shine as the man or woman they were created to be
