We’re back!! 📣

We took our annual winter break from programming (and social media), and it was a long, tough season this year—for everyone, including our horses. The weather definitely kept us on our toes!!

Thanks to the incredible support of our dedicated volunteers, our wonderful farrier and hay supplier, and some truly amazing friends, we made it through. 💛

We’re so excited to be starting up programming again on March 30th and can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the barn! 🐴

A special heartfelt thank you to Gabrielle Elizabeth, Denisha Lawrence, David Lawrence, Bethe Jankelson, Annabel Brennan, Lindsey Saunders , Andrea Capron is Blossoming Into Being- we’re so grateful for each of you! 🧡

Meet Ana Malak—or just Malak around the barn.🐴

Malak is our world traveler. Born in New Zealand, this 12-year-old Standardbred gelding had a very successful harness racing career in New Zealand, Australia and then eventually in the United States. After all those miles and years of hard work, we were incredibly grateful to be able to adopt him from the Standardbred Retirement Foundation and give him safety and purpose in a forever home.

Malak is kind, steady, and has a calm but powerful presence you feel right away. He’s curious and playful, loves learning tricks, enjoys games, and is always happy to head out for a walk. Perhaps most beautifully, Malak’s gift is his ability to teach people about boundaries—how to honor their own while respecting his. It’s a lesson he offers with honesty and grace.

We’re so grateful for this special guy and the wisdom and connection he brings to everyone he meets. ❤️

If you are interested in becoming one of Malak’s sponsors or giving the gift of sponsorship to a loved one, message us or visit our website to learn more ( link in bio).

Meet Marvel! 💫

This adorable 20-ish–year-old mini gelding who came to us from Gerdas Equine Rescue Inc. is truly one of a kind. Gentle, patient, and endlessly kind, Marvel has a special gift for helping kiddos who need a little boost in confidence—and he’s just as amazing with our senior visitors.

He loves scratches, snuggles, and of course, never says no to a treat! 💕

If you’d like to become one of Marvel’s sponsors and get to know this little superstar, or give the gift of sponsorship to a loved one, send us a message! You can also learn more on our website (link in bio).
