Did you know we are a drop location for Pasture to Pitcher A2 milk? They are also great supporters of our work here at Healing Strides, along with Melvin's Farm to Fork Store!

Thank you both for your generous support! Contact them for all your milk needs, they have locations all over!

p.s. this photo was not 😜 AI generated. We take our equines bone health very seriously and give them only the best milk! 😜
JK, no horses were given milk in the making of this AI photo! 🥛🐮

And thank you to the organizers and team that put on such a 𝘎𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘛 festival! It was amazing weather, fun atmosphere and a well planned event.
Until next year!

Fall is here, can you imagine: warm fall soup, homemade sourdough, and true connection to those gathered together.
Imagine: spices floating in the air, fun fall decor, and the feel of the warm fuzzy coat from a horse giving you snuggles.

If this sounds like something you would love to see and experience in reality, then you need to join us at our Fall Women's Retreat on October 17th!

Special shout out to two young Girl Scouts on completing part of their Silver Award with us and installing the first of two sand pits for our horses to enjoy!
The pony paddock got the first upgrade and immediately the first few in, stop, dropped, and ROLLED!!!
Stay tuned for their second sand pit later in the year and a few other paddock enhancements! THANK YOU!
