Two Bear Therapeutic Riding Center

Two Bear Therapeutic Riding Center Our mission is to improve the physical, social and emotional well-being of those we serve.

11/26/2025

Our hearts are full of gratitude! This year was the most successful in our history - not because of any one event, but because of the strength, generosity, and spirit of the people who surround Two Bear Therapeutic Riding Center.

Our Campfire for a Cause fundraiser in May brought together friends, families, and supporters who believe in the healing power of horses and the importance of creating spaces where every person can grow, connect, and thrive. Your presence, your gifts, and your belief in our mission lit up that night and carried its warmth forward all year long.

And this fall, the Great Fish Community Challenge reminded us once again just how remarkable our community is. You showed up with open hands and open hearts, helping us not only meet but surpass our goals. Every dollar given is already at work helping participants build confidence, independence, and deeper connection with themselves and with a little help from our equine partners, of course.

To every donor, volunteer, family, participant, partner organization, and friend: THANK YOU! You are the reason 2025 was a landmark year. You are the reason our herd can continue doing life-changing work. And you are the reason we step into the new year with hope, momentum, and gratitude.

Together, we are building something powerful. Something honest. Something that changes lives.

From all of us at Two Bear Therapeutic Riding Center—thank you for believing in this work and for being part of our story.🧡

Magical Date Night at TBTRC reminded us once again how powerful community can be.

We were honored to host four wonderful family units for an evening designed to give parents and caregivers of our participants (and their siblings!) a well-earned night off, while their kids enjoyed a safe, laughter-filled adventure here at the ranch.

10 incredible kids, ages 3 to 11, and two fantastic junior volunteers leading the fun! The barn came alive with joy and the night lit up literally with glow stick tag, “sardine” tag, and plenty of sensory-friendly play. The giggles and smiles said it all.

This is what community looks like.
This is what belonging feels like.
And this is why we do what we do.

To the families who trust us with their little ones, to the junior volunteers who stepped in with heart and enthusiasm, and to every supporter who makes programs like this possible - thank you.

Here’s to more connection, more joy, and more evenings where kids get to be kids while parents get the break they deserve. 🧡

As a brand-new Executive Director who didn’t live the full history of how TBTRC became the incredible place it is today, I’m learning to put my hand up a lot. I ask for stories, context, background, and explanations and sometimes I feel like an inquisitive toddler:
“Why is the sky blue?”
“What does this button do?”
“How do you know what someone needs if they don’t speak?”
“What is the horse communicating when he does that?”
And my personal favorite:
“Wait… you do WHAT with arm-length gloves?”
Let’s just say there are some things I’ve learned that I cannot unlearn. *Shivers. 😄

But here’s what I’m discovering: humility and humor are essential tools when tackling hard or new things.

Our equine partners reinforce this lesson every day. Each brings their own strengths, quirks, and confidence - along with absolute honesty. Some are patient and steady, some curious and bold, some tentative but brave. Every one of them is a teacher. They show us what it means to trust, to communicate clearly, and to stay present.

So as you tackle your week, I invite you to be brave. Be open to connection. Ask the questions. Embrace the discomfort.
It’s worth it. I promise. 🧡🐴

This week, I’m beginning to understand the rhythm of the ranch - the cadence of our lessons, the flow of the days, and the distinct personalities of our horses. There’s a heartbeat here, a quiet pulse that guides everything we do.

And then there are moments that jolt you awake.

Our Equine Manager, Anna Seagull, allowed me to bear witness to her first “polar plunge” of the season. Yes… you read that correctly. With snow blanketing the pasture and our horses peacefully grazing, Anna lowered herself - calmly, intentionally - into the ice-cold water trough.

My immediate thought?
Um, no.

But as I stood there, watching her breathe through the shock of the cold, I realized there was more to it. Perhaps being uncomfortable is one of the only ways new doors and opportunities open.

Our Lead Instructor, Sally Conrad, a true fount of equine knowledge and wisdom, reminded me that “getting comfortable being uncomfortable is an essential step in great growth and personal change.” She’s right, of course - and not just for people.

This week we also welcomed a new member to our herd: a beautiful mare we’ve named Noodles. She is navigating her own version of discomfort - learning the ways of our ranch after a very different life as a brood mare. Our remarkable staff is guiding her through this transition with patience, skill, and compassion. On the other side of this unfamiliar season, we believe she’ll discover the rewarding, heart-centered work of equine-assisted therapy.

So this week’s lesson from the trail is simple, but not easy:
Reach past your comfort zone and try something that scares you - just because you can.

As for me, I’ll keep stretching in all the ways that don’t involve sliding into ice-cold water. That particular growth opportunity can stay with Anna. 🧡🐴

As TBTRC’s new Executive Director, I invite you along as I learn about this remarkable place, the people who make it thrive, and the horses who bring the magic.

My first week was all about introductions to our incredible team, both two-legged and four-legged. Every day I pinch myself, amazed that not only do they let me come to this breathtaking property surrounded by these awe-inspiring life forces… they expect me to come!

I’ve learned this week that “boots on the ground” isn’t just a phrase - it’s an invitation. There’s something powerful about physically grounding yourself in a place that hums with purpose and presence. Feeling the earth beneath my boots, hearing the quiet breath of horses nearby, I can sense the energy that flows through this ranch - steady, healing, alive.

Here’s to the journey ahead, to listening, learning, and staying grounded in every sense of the word. 🧡🐴
