Our First Community Open House Was a Success!

We recently held our very first Community Open House to help raise awareness and build community around the work we do for both horses and humans at Melody's Haven of Hope at Oregon Horsemanship. Send us a message to be put on the mailing list for future events, open houses, and more or sign up for our mailing list.

While the heat kept some people away, it was a successful first event. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and we received so much positive feedback throughout the day.

Fill the Loft with Hay

Our current goal is to Fill the Loft with Hay for the herd. Visitors who wanted a horse experience helped support that goal by purchasing a bale of hay and receiving a ride and a special photo with Rose, our beloved miniature horse who had already been through seven homes by the time she was just four years old.

Connecting People with the Herd

Guests especially enjoyed hearing the stories of the herd, learning more about each horse, and asking questions. Letitia spent the day sharing not only the journeys of our horses, but also educating visitors about horses in general—their care, behavior, and unique needs. Everyone had the opportunity to tour the facility, meet our oldest horse, our most exotic horse, our longest-term resident, and many more members of the herd.

As Letitia said, "If people enjoy this and it helps connect our community to the horses, we'll do it again."

Well... it was all of that and more!

• We introduced many youth to their very first horse ride.
• We educated adults about our programs and mission.
• We shared the stories of horses who have found safety and belonging.
• We built new connections within our community.
• We created memories that will last a lifetime.
• We shared information about our special programs and upcoming opportunities.
• Visitors were able to view photos and read the stories of many of the horses who call Melody's Haven of Hope home.

Loving horses means knowing that one day your heart will break for them. Today was that day for us as we said goodbye to our sweet Lucy.

Our beloved Lucy crossed the Rainbow Bridge after a long battle with severe arthritis. We had hoped she would give us a few more weeks, but in the end, loving her meant making the hardest decision and choosing her comfort over our hearts.

Lucy came to us years ago after a journey I will never forget. I drove over the mountain to pick her up, excited and hopeful, only to end up with a tire blowout at the top of the pass. What a ride home and she was such a good girl. Looking back now, it seems fitting that even getting Lucy home came with an adventure. She was worth every mile, every challenge, and every moment.

From the day she arrived, Lucy became so much more than a horse. She became a teacher, a friend, a safe place, and a partner to countless people. She carried beginners with patience, comforted nervous hearts, and somehow always knew when someone needed her most. Lucy loved her humans deeply, and her humans loved her right back. Even when retired from riding one special person would come out and groom her and spend time with lots of love and treats every week. 

One of the greatest gifts we were able to give Lucy was time. When many horses become unrideable, their future becomes uncertain. Because of your support, Lucy was able to spend years simply being loved, cared for, and appreciated. She enjoyed friendships, sunshine, treats, and the dignity every horse deserves. We gave her the best life we knew how, and she gave us so much more in return.
Her best friend, Tahlia, is already feeling the loss. Horses grieve too, and we will be helping Tahlia navigate life without the companion she has known for so long.

Lucy also leaves us with an important lesson. Her severe arthritis reminds us why education matters—why understanding horses, listening to them, preventing overuse, and advocating for their well-being is so important. We hope her story continues to help people learn how to make life better for the horses they love.

Today our hearts are heavy, but they are also full of gratitude.

Thank you to every volunteer, student, donor, sponsor, and friend who helped make Lucy's life possible. Because of you, she was cherished. Because of you, she was safe. Because of you, she knew love.

Run free, sweet Lucy. You were loved beyond measure, and you will be missed more than words can say. Your spirit will surround us and the work we do. We will always feel your love!

If Lucy touched your life, we would love for you to share a favorite memory or photo in the comments.
