❤️ 456 Hearts. ❤️
Because of YOU, 456 hearts were purchased during our Hearts for Horses campaign — and we truly cannot thank you enough.
Each heart tells a story.
Hearts honoring beloved horses who have crossed the rainbow bridge.
Hearts remembering cherished pets and animals.
Hearts dedicated to family members.
Hearts written for our very own horses here at the barn.
Every single one was given with love — and we felt that love covering our entire wall.
Your generosity, kindness, and willingness to support New Beginnings means more than words can express. Our horses are cared for because of you. Our riders are served because of you.
From the bottom of our hearts… thank you. ❤️🐴
So many hearts we had to stack hearts, on hearts, on hearts!

This Valentine’s Day, we want to honor a love story that truly defines what love is meant to be. 💖
Ernie is our oldest volunteer, and without a doubt one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. He has been married to his wife, Ginny, for 56 years — and his love for her is something straight out of a storybook.
Every single day, Ernie visits Ginny at the nursing home. He often brings their dog along so others can experience a little comfort and joy through therapy visits. His devotion, kindness, and quiet strength remind us that real love shows up — consistently, patiently, and selflessly.
Ernie’s love for Ginny is the kind of love we all hope to give and receive in this lifetime. ❤️
As we close out our Hearts for Horses campaign, we couldn’t imagine a more meaningful way to do so than by honoring a man whose heart is so full of love — for his wife, for others, and for this place we call home.
Thank you, Ernie, for being you. Thank you for loving so deeply. And thank you to everyone who filled our board with hearts and helped us spread love where it matters most. 🐴💕

Equine Assisted Therapies to individuals (ages 5 and up to adults) with behavioral, emotional, mental, and physical disabilities in Warren and surrounding counties through the power of horses. with behavioral, emotional, mental and physical disabilities.
NBTR is a non-profit 501c3 that relies on donations, grants, and fundraisers to operate on a day to day basis. Our goal is to strengthen the minds, bodies, and souls of individuals by providing a recreational outlet that has therapeutic benefits. The responsibility of riding and caring for a horse encourages self-esteem, confidence and coordination. The aim of our program is to see positive changes in the riders physically, emotionally and spiritually.
NBTR is one of four PATH Intl. (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International) Premier Accredited Centers in Kentucky and the only one West of Lexington. This means that NBTR has reached or exceeded the standards to ensure we are providing the best quality and safest atmosphere possible to individuals with disabilities. PATH Intl. has been in existence since 1969 and has studied and researched its standards, precautions, and contraindications to horseback riding and allows accredited centers to use this information to ensure safety and qualified services.
NBTR began in 1997 with three students, three horses, and 20 volunteers and to date have served over 900+ students in Warren and surrounding counties with over 11,000 volunteer hours. We can accommodate more individuals because we can have classes indoors and when the weather is nice we can go outside in a large outdoor horse arena or a tree lined trail that was cleaned up by a local Eagle Scout, which is now our sensory trail.
Recreational activities for individuals with disabilities are very limited in our community.
