Miss Bethany LOVES Halloween! We have a student dressed as Wonder Woman and Bethany as Olaf. What a lovely combination.
In the other picture, Artie is not quite sure he wants to be a unicorn.

This past Saturday, we gathered for our first annual program picnic and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of good food and great company. It was a special opportunity to celebrate and thank our students, volunteers, horse sponsors, and friends whose generosity and dedication make our program possible. The support of our community allows us to continue providing these meaningful experiences, and we are truly grateful. It was a fantastic day filled with laughter, friendship, and gratitude for everyone who helps make our program a success!

P.S. Even Disco made an appearance! That is a rare thing, indeed!

The horses in our therapeutic riding program are already transitioning from their summer coats to their winter coats!

Horses begin growing their winter hair based on shorter daylight hours, not just cooler temperatures. This natural process helps keep them comfortable and healthy through the changing seasons.

We love watching these seasonal changes and sharing them with our riders. Every visit to the barn is a chance to learn something new about these amazing animals! ❤️

DID YOU KNOW that a healthy horse will produce about 9-11 gallons of saliva every day. There's not a bib around that could handle that!
