Team building and sportsmanship are such an important part of our Special Olympics equestrian team here at RideAbility.

Each and every week, our goal is not only to coach riding skills, but to help our athletes learn how to work together, cheer one another on, encourage each other, and celebrate each other’s successes. We want them to understand that being part of a team means lifting others up while believing in yourself. Most importantly, we hope these life lessons spill over far beyond the barn and into everyday life.

This week we had the absolute honor and privilege of Mrs. Luanne incredible creative mind, to once again help our athletes discover the creativity inside themselves. As they worked together on their beautiful art displays for Special Olympics, she reminded each one of them that there is an artist living inside every heart.

What a joy it was to watch this team encourage one another, laugh together, create together, and prove that they truly can do anything they set their minds to. The teamwork, the sportsmanship, the confidence, and the smiles filled our barn with so much happiness.

A huge thank you to Mrs. Luanne for making this such an incredible experience for our athletes. Our coaches were great assistance and we all learned too. Learning new things, trying new challenges, and helping our students thrive in ways they never imagined is exactly what we love most here at RideAbility. Each athlete created a unique piece of their own expressing themselves and it was beautiful.

The possibilities are endless when a team believes in each other. ❤️❤️❤️

Our 2026 Annual Horse Show was something special. From start to finish, it was a day centered on what truly matters—our students stepping into the arena and showing the growth, determination, and personal goals they’ve been working toward all year. Every ride told a story of progress, courage, and trust.

We are deeply grateful to our incredible volunteer team. You are the reason this program runs day in and day out, and events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without you. Your consistency, patience, and heart create the foundation for every success we celebrate.

Our therapeutic horses were on full display, thoughtfully designed to meet each student where they are while encouraging them to stretch just a little further. And that’s exactly what happened—our students didn’t just meet their goals, many of them pushed right past them.

A special thank you to Maddie for judging this year’s show. Your passion and commitment to helping our students recognize their own greatness means more than you know.

There was also plenty of fun woven into the day. Face painting with Ms. Luanne and Ella and Emma brought smiles all around, the kids’ zone by LaDonna kept the energy high, and Pam and her team created a fantastic drawing area that helped raise important funds to support our center.

The enthusiasm, joy, and pride we witnessed were beyond what we could have imagined. Most of all, we are thankful to our families for trusting us with your children and families. It is an honor to serve them, to remind them that they matter, that they have purpose, and to watch the deep love they have for their horses shine through.

Here’s to an unforgettable 2026 Horse Show—and to every student who showed us what’s possible. Here are a few photos of the day. Post your favorite photos or send them to us. More to come. ❤️❤️❤️

We have to take the time to talk and to truly see and celebrate our students.

Graycen has been talking about the book she wrote for weeks, and now she’s bringing it to life for the horse show tomorrow. Watching her prepare has been something special—but seeing the heart behind it is what stays with you.

Our horses create something powerful in these kids. They open doors to confidence, compassion, and connection. And sometimes, it hits you all at once.

This moment did that for me.

Tears of happiness—for Graycen’s deep desire to help others, to make people feel safe, and for the love she carries for her horses. It’s genuine, it’s strong, and it’s exactly why this program matters.

Graycen, thank you. This is a beautiful reflection of who you are and what this program stands for. This is truly incredible. WOW. ❤️❤️❤️

Our sensory-friendly farm gives students the opportunity to connect with animals in a meaningful and calming way. Through these interactions, they experience not only the joy animals bring, but also the emotional impact that connection can have. From our dedicated therapeutic horses, to our affectionate, people-loving donkeys, our belly-rub-seeking pigs, our gentle kitties, and of course Lucy—each animal plays a unique role in creating a space filled with comfort, connection, and genuine joy.
