All smiles, no spooks this Halloween week! 🎃😃
Clients “trick or treated” their way through fall-themed activities focusing on balance, hand eye coordination, and steering. So much fun!
Now it’s back to business, fine-tuning our horsemanship skills for our week eight “Superstar Celebration!” 🏆

🐴 SMILES Construction Update! 🚧

Our barn expansion is really coming together! More stalls are being built, the ceiling is officially complete, and electrical work is next on the list. Stall mats will soon be measured and cut for a perfect fit, while our new grooming bays, wash bay, and larger tack rooms are becoming easier to envision with each passing week!

It's exciting to watch these spaces take shape and imagine the difference they'll make for our horses, clients, volunteers, and programs!

This expansion is about so much more than a bigger barn. It's about creating more opportunities, welcoming more individuals into our programs, and continuing to make a difference in our community.

We are so grateful to everyone who has supported this project and helped make this growth possible. Together, we're building something that will benefit our community for years to come! 💙🐴
