Stable Smiles:A Year of Connection & Impact

As we step into this season of gratitude, one thing shines above all: you make this place what it is.

Every moment of connection, every breakthrough in the saddle, every deep breath taken beside a horse — you’ve been part of it. This year, we’ve watched riders grow braver, families feel more supported, and our herd quietly hold space for it all.

This month, we’re celebrating what we’ve built together and looking ahead to how we can open the barn doors to even more families in 2025.

Thank you for helping create a barn where children, adults, and families feel supported, seen, and welcomed just as they are.

Giving Tuesday: Support Life - Changing Connections

This year, we’re working toward a meaningful Giving Tuesday goal:
$15,000 to fund therapy scholarships and support the care of our therapy horses.

Your support helps families overcome financial barriers so their loved ones can continue receiving the care they need — and the connection they deserve.

Every week, we hear things like:

“He has gained so much confidence. He feels supported, calm, and truly shines in his sessions.”

Mathias’ Family

“Since beginning equine-assisted therapy, we’ve seen more attempts at verbalization and a noticeable improvement in core strength—it’s been amazing to watch!”

Catherine

This is what your support helps create.

  • 150 sessions fully funded by scholarships, ensuring every family has access to care

  • A growing therapy herd, each supported with top-tier nutrition, veterinary care, and enrichment
