High Hurdles Therapeutic Riding Program

08/23/2025

This week we are brining back the warm summer vibes as it’s starting to cool off. Our participants this week went to the beach gathering some of the essentials for time in the water and in the sand. They even got their horses ready with their goggles which got a lot of our riders giggling the whole way around the arena.

📣 Bittersweet News

This week, we’re celebrating our amazing instructor, Jocelyn, as she heads off to begin an exciting new chapter - nursing school at the end of the week! 🩺📚

We’re so proud of everything Jocelyn has accomplished this past year and can’t wait to see her thrive in this next step. Her dedication, energy, and heart have made a lasting impact on all of us at High Hurdles.

Please join us in wishing Jocelyn the best of luck on this journey. We’ll miss her dearly, but we know the world is about to gain one incredible nurse! 💪💉💕

If you are here this week, make sure to add your thank you's and notes of encouragement in the notebook in the classroom for her during this big transition!

It's not goodbye, it's "see you later" 🥰

Hmmmm. If only we knew exactly when our horses were born!

Unfortunately with horses often changing hands and not being part of a registry before they come to us, we often only have a rough estimate of their age and give them a birthday just to keep track. We do know however that Rosie was born on Valentines Day, and that description suited her very well 😁

We would like to make a huge shoutout not only to our team of instructors and staff that you know at the farm- but to this lady right here who consistently shows up whenever she’s needed, with an infectiously positive attitude and more brains and brawn than is even fair to have in one human. She took a pause from behind the emails and paperwork to help put up hay today, which was quite the feat with temps topping out at 92°!

Thank you Shannon Nasca, our VP of Business and Community Initiatives for sasi (Put in simple terms- Shelby’s boss) for everything you contribute to High Hurdles!

Inteoducing Dottie 🟤⚪️

Dottie is a grade quarter horse at around 14 years old and currently doing great on a trial period with us. We are so happy to introduce her to you all now! Dottie is owned by a family with a small toddler at home and we can’t thank them enough for giving us the opportunity to use her in the program 😍😍

It's National I Love Horses Day! Horses are not just an animal; they are a friend, a teacher, a partner, an emotional anchor, and an unsung hero. Horses not only carry their riders but also their hopes and challenges, giving them confidence and peace. Horses teach us to trust and give us strength. Complete the sentence: Horses have taught me…
