❤️🐴 A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, DEBBIE COOPER! ❤️

As we celebrate our move to the Deaconess Illinois Equestrian Therapy Center, we want to take a moment to recognize someone who has poured her heart and soul into making this dream a reality — our Executive Director, Debbie Cooper! ❤️

This move would not have been possible without Debbie’s endless dedication, hard work, determination, and love for SES.

From countless hours of planning and organizing to coordinating donations, volunteers, and everything in between, Debbie has worked tirelessly to make sure our riders, Veterans, volunteers, and horses have a place to call home.

There have been long days, late nights, challenges, and plenty of obstacles along the way, but Debbie never gave up. Her passion for our mission and the people we serve has been the driving force behind this incredible new chapter.

❤️ Debbie, you have given so much of yourself to SES, and we want you to know that your hard work has not gone unnoticed.

You didn’t just help move SES into a new barn — you helped turn a dream we’ve had for years into a reality.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, DEBBIE! We are beyond grateful for your leadership, your sacrifices, and everything you do to help change lives through the healing power of horses. 🐴❤️

Together We Ride. Together We Heal.

As we celebrate our move to the Deaconess Illinois Equestrian Therapy Center, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible wranglers, staff, and volunteers who helped make it all possible!

From packing and moving to cleaning, organizing, caring for our horses, and helping with countless projects along the way, you have gone above and beyond to make our new barn ready for our riders and Veterans. 🐴❤️

We know this move has meant long days, hard work, and plenty of challenges, but through it all, you continued to show up and give your all.

You didn’t just help us move into a new barn — you helped create a place where our riders, Veterans, and horses can continue to grow, heal, and thrive.

To our wranglers, staff, and volunteers, THANK YOU! We appreciate each and every one of you more than words can express!
