Bren is Adria's personal horse and Iron Horse's mascot. She is a very sweet horse always eager to greet everyone that comes down our aisle. She is very good at begging for treats with a unique tilt of her head and big brown puppy eyes and if that doesn't work, she throws in a soft nicker to melt those hearts. She's a favorite of all the interns to work with on the ground as she is so quiet and patient!

Jack
