We would like to officially introduce you to Bloom & Bridle's newest members, Rusty and Auggie. 🐴🐴

✨ Rusty is a 7 year old mustang who is kind, patient and loves to be pampered on. But life wasn't always a beautiful open range out west. This handsome boy was rescued from a kill pen. He is getting a second chance at life and we cannot wait to shower him in love.

✨ Auggie is a 6 year old thoroughbred who is a big sweet boy with a puppy dog personality. He was originally owned by someone who just didn't understand how to properly care for and train his breed. We cannot wait to watch him flourish in our home.

Our boys will be coming home by the end of this month and we cannot wait!!! 🥰🐴🐴

This weekend was a big one for us — we spent time meeting some incredible horses and taking meaningful steps forward in the adoption process. 🐴

As exciting as it is, we’ve been very intentional in our search. We’re not just looking for any horse — we’re looking for the right ones. The kind you can see it in their eyes… a softness, a kindness, a steadiness that runs all the way down to their bones. The kind that reminds us of Bob, and even our late German Shepherd, Axle — souls who carried a quiet understanding and a natural ability to connect.

Not every horse is suited for Equine Assisted Learning or Equine Interactions, and that’s something we’ve taken seriously. We’ve searched high and low, spent countless hours talking with trainers, asking questions, and learning about horses who might truly thrive in this kind of work. It’s about finding partners who are not only safe and steady, but who genuinely want to engage and connect with people.

This process takes time, patience, and a lot of heart — but it’s worth every second.

We’re feeling hopeful and excited for what’s ahead, and if all goes well, we’re looking forward to making some formal introductions in the next few weeks. 💛 Stay tuned.

We made it into the final stretch and it is all so surreal 🤍

✨Fencing clips and wire went in
✨Electric and water ran to the barn and pasture
✨Stalls got their finishing stain
✨Sprayed the pasture and will be seeding this week
✨Even a little landscaping to tie it all together

Eli and Lane made sure to say hi to everyone through the window (and kept spirits high during that Florida heat).

Every step brought us closer, and now we will be ready to welcome two new equine friends in the next few weeks.🐴🌱

Big progress happening at the barn! ⚡️🐴

The electrical wiring is officially being run, and fencing has started going up 🙌🏻

I’m especially excited because in the next month or so, the view from my kitchen window is about to get a major upgrade… and I can’t wait to look out and see it all come to fruition. 🥰

Peep Milo, this weekend’s fur supervisor and Eli, his assistant. 🐶🙋

A love like no other. You have to experience the connection's we form with horses to fully grasp it. 💖🐴

There’s something truly incredible about watching it all come together piece by piece. What started as a vision is now standing right in front of us, and every board, every beam, and every bit of hard work is finally taking shape into something real.

This barn has been built with so much intention, heart, and dedication—and seeing it at this stage is a feeling that’s hard to put into words.

We’re not quite done yet. Once the barn is complete, our next steps are seeding and fencing the front pasture, continuing to bring this space to life for all who will learn, grow, and connect here.

Little by little, it’s all coming together. 🤍

Some of the most meaningful moments in equine assisted learning happen when we slow down and grow together.

Working with individuals with disabilities reminds us that progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about patience, trust, and the courage to keep trying. In these sessions, riders build confidence, strength, and new abilities, while facilitators and aides grow in empathy, understanding, and purpose.

As our youth witness and experience these moments, they learn the value of perseverance, compassion, and celebrating different abilities—guiding the next generation toward a brighter, more accepting future. 🐎🌱
