A handshake, a smile, a new friendship. 💙🧡💙🧡

As we look forward to week two of our fall EASE session this Friday, we’re reminded that some of the most meaningful moments happen through the simple joy of connecting with others.

At EASE, friendships and a sense of belonging are just as important as our time with the horses! 🐎 🍂

The wait is over… EASE is back this Friday! 🍂🐎

There’s something truly special about the connections made at EASE, and we can’t wait to experience those moments again!

As we kick off our Fall 2026 session, we’re looking forward to welcoming back our wonderful volunteers, greeting new participants, and sharing another season filled with smiles, laughter, friendship, and meaningful moments with our equine friends.

Here’s to another memorable season of EASE! 🍁

This past Saturday, we were proud to come together for the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s — surrounded by friends and supporters of all sizes, big and small! 🐾💜

Thanks to the generosity of our incredible community, Team EASE raised over $500 in support of the Alzheimer’s Association and its mission to advance care, support, and research. 🧠

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came out to walk with us, donated to our team, cheered us on, and continues to support both the Alzheimer’s Association and EASE. Your support means so much to us and to the individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

We are grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up, walk together, and make a difference. 💜

🎩🍂 A little imagination, a lot of teamwork, and one very Mad Hatter! 🍂🎩

We had such a wonderful afternoon at Friday’s Foothills Memory Café, joining forces with our friends at the Landrum Library to create our entry for Landrum’s annual Scarecrow Contest!

Our café participants and care partners rolled up their sleeves and helped bring our whimsical Mad Hatter to life. From brainstorming and creating to plenty of laughter along the way, it was a wonderful afternoon of creativity, connection, and community. ❤️

A big thank you to the Landrum Library for partnering with us on this fun project—and to everyone who came out and helped make our Mad Hatter one-of-a-kind! 🎩✨

Equine Assisted Senior Engagement got the opportunity to present our upcoming fall session and other supplement programs to SLIP - Saluda Living In Place this week. With over 50 attendees, it was a great outreach opportunity for a town in Polk County, that sometimes gets overlooked. Caregiver Connections (local dementia support group) and Upstairs Artspace (Meet Me Upstairs - Memory Through Art) also joined, for a very informative afternoon, speaking about dementia program offerings in our community. Great fun was had at the end, with a hobby stick horse derby! 🐴🫂💜🤝🧠
