Equine Assisted Activities
Equine Assisted Learning The program is seasonal running from spring to fall.

Stir-N-Up Hope is a Not-For-Profit organization that provides free therapeutic riding sessions to handicapped individuals. Riders are taught to groom, tack, lead, ride, and games are incorporated to work on areas of special needs. Riders experience control of direction, speed, and an all time favorite, the woods!!! Places they may have never been able to go if it had not been for the horse. A horse's warm disposition draws out the desire in the rider to try new things and overcome fears.

For a couple hours last night, we opened our barn to the community to bid farewell to Lady and Noodles as they return to a previous owner’s home later this week. Kelly, Mary, and Peggy have known these horses for over two decades and they all were able to be together for a while yesterday. Justin, who is the current steward of their care, was also there.

It was a sweet time of fellowship and sharing memories of the legacy of service that spans the whole existence of Stir-n-Up Hope!

If you have any pictures with Lady and Noodles from over the years, please share them in the comments!

📣 Important announcement! 📣

After a great deal of prayer and discussion, the difficult decision has been made for Lady and Noodles, our longest serving equine employees, to return to a previous owner’s home. They have both been mostly retired for several years now, and it is now time for us to say our farewell to them as working horses.

They have served countless participants through our programs over there, 2+ decades with Stir-n-Up Hope. We know that many of your lives have been touched by them, so we would like to open up our barn for you to come and help us send them off! You are welcome to drop by tomorrow, October 27, anytime between three and 4:30 PM central time.

There will be a more fitting tribute to each of these beautiful horses coming at a later time.

What a difference a session at Stir-n-Up Hope can make! Mr. "H" found that Ms. Noodles was the perfect height for him to groom her mane! He worked on gaining coordination in his arms and she got a pretty hairdo!

Equine Assisted Activities can accompany physical therapy work you're doing outside our barn, as well; they work together and can be two pieces of a puzzle in a recovery journey.
