Dear Friends,
As we close out another meaningful year, we want to take a moment to thank you for being part of our incredible community. It truly takes a village to support system-impacted youth — and our village includes dedicated volunteers, generous donors, our wonderful herd, and most importantly, the amazing young people we serve. Each of you plays a vital role in making this work possible.
This year brought growth and change in many forms — including within our herd. We said goodbye to Jackson, Rio, Sully and Mike (the goat) and welcomed Smoothie. She has quickly become a favorite among those who enjoy a calm, leisurely ride. Her sweet and calm spirit has been a bright addition to our program!
Together, we continue to build, learn, and grow — creating spaces for healing, connection, and hope. We hosted over a hundred people at the ranch this year from Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties. We are deeply grateful for your continued support and partnership on this journey.
Please visit our donations page https://www.horsewhispersgroup.com/ #/ for updates on current projects and ways to help us start the new year strong. It's a good time of year to make your tax deductible donation!
Wishing you joy, peace, and warmth this holiday season and beyond.
Smoothie and Tessa
