Musical Horse Plays the Harp With His Human

A music-loving horse named Yupia uses his mouth and teeth to pluck harp strings while his multi-instrumentalist human, Mikayla Theone Khramov, plays alongside him. Khramov is featuring Yupia on her upcoming album.

Late night recording session at the barn.

Getting samples of Yupia’s harp for our upcoming album.

Khramov met Yupia at Because We Can – Because We Care, a nonprofit horse rescue and rehabilitation center in Moorpark, California.

BWC2 is a nonprofit horse rescue and rehabilitation center. They are a volunteer based program and their mission is to provide free lessons to children with disabilities and American veterans.

Yupia and Mikayla also play other instruments together, such as guitar, banjo, keyboards, and bass.
