Hi everyone! 😊 We're looking for a few items to support our program and wanted to see if anyone in our amazing community has any they'd be willing to donate.

We're looking for:
• Hula hoops
• Pool noodles
• Mini trampolines

If you have any of these items that are no longer being used and would like to donate them, we'd be so grateful! Every donation helps and is greatly appreciated.

If you're able to help, please comment below or send us a message. Thank you so much for supporting our center! 💙

This past weekend, some of our CTRIs traveled to Southern California for the PATH Intl. Region 11 Conference. During the trip, they visited the beautiful and gained valuable insights from industry experts, including Dr. Markel, Judy Westlake, and the Shea Center’s team of CTRIs, ATRIs, PTs, OTs, SLPs, LCSW, phenomenal staff and volunteers. They also networked with professionals representing 40 different centers across six states. 👥🩷🦄

Additionally, our team attended a large animal and equine rescue training for first responders. This session provided firefighters with essential skills in equine handling and first aid to ensure more effective emergency responses in the field. 🚒🚨

The JKC staff and CTRIs remain dedicated to the well-being and longevity of our equine partners to better serve our clients. 🐴✨💙

Jumping right back into our "Meet Our Team" series with our newest Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor Erin McCaleb! 🐴

Erin might be our most recent staff member to become a CTRI but she knows her stuff when it comes to riding, horse care, and general equine knowledge. She is particularly interested in equine wellness and nutrition. 🥗
Erin has been a member of the JKC community for almost five years! She enjoys leading group lessons and has taken up an interest in teaching more advanced lessons and learning about vaulting. 🤸🏼‍♀️

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her two horses, Koda and Georgia. She competes in various schooling events and loves spending hours on the trail. She is also interested in mental health and is currently in college studying Psychology. 📝

Please join us in celebrating Erin and a huge congratulations for passing your CTRI exam 🎉😃
