We are so incredibly grateful for everyone who came out to spend time with us for Cocoa with Santa & the horses. Seeing so many smiling faces, warm cups of cocoa, and happy moments around the barn truly filled our hearts.

We also want to give a very special thank you to Ernie — our long-time volunteer and original cowboy. 🤠🐴 Ernie has been part of the heart and soul of New Beginnings for so long, and we simply couldn’t do what we do without his steady presence, hard work, and love for this place. We are beyond thankful for all that he does, day in and day out.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you who helped make this event so special. We are so blessed by this community. 💙

Thank you so much to everyone who came out today for Cocoa & Horses with Santa! It meant the world to see smiling faces, getting warm hugs, and holiday cheer in the barn.

We’re looking forward to classes tomorrow and can’t wait to see even more familiar faces.

And seriously… how cute is this picture?! Santa and one of our festive four-legged helpers definitely understood the assignment. 🐴🎅✨

Thank you for sharing your time, your laughter, and your holiday spirit with us. See you tomorrow!

Awe how cute is this donkey!

We had so much fun bringing in a bit of holiday cheer.
Just had to share these cute pictures.
Those big soft ears, Tank is such a good boy taking it all in stride, he is the most good natured, docile guy you’ve ever met.
Emmah even rode him around the arena, he’s the man.

♥️ We Love you Tank !
