A quick lesson in self care from the horses 🐴

Step 1: find sand
Step 2: lay down
Step 3: roll around until all of your problems disappear

We can’t guarantee this works for humans, but the horses seem pretty convinced!

One year with Axel and somehow the barn is still standing. In the last 365 days, Axel has:

🐴 Tested the strength of every fence, stall guard, stall wall, and human boundary

🐴 Mastered the art of emotional support while also causing the emotional distress

🐴 Reminded every kid (and adult) that being a little goofy, sensitive, and “too much” isn’t a bad thing

He’s chaotic, hilarious, occasionally destructive, and one of the best teachers we could ask for. He helps all of us learn how to calm our brains and trust the world just a little more.

Happy 1 year to my favorite oversized toddler in a horse costume.

I always look forward to watching the teen group ride. Their lesson is basically 50% confidence building and 50% trying to act cool while your horse ignores you completely. It has become one of my favorite Saturday morning activities.

The barn has a way of building confidence quietly. We don’t just talk about communication, patience, and problem solving - we live it. From learning how to safely handle horses, to helping with barn chores, to navigating unpredictable moments that come with animals, every session becomes an opportunity to grow.

We finished up our second week of groups and watching these kids work together, build confidence, and make new friends has been amazing.

The teens are always the first to offer a helping hand, and our younger group continues to work on understanding horse and human behavior.

We had a rainy day for our first group of the session, but these kids didn’t care! They jumped right in and got to work with the horses.
