Thanks to the All Call team from Life Foursquare. They started at 7:30 this morning and put in all the new posts for our new pasture. We also had others raking rock, cleaning, and putting things together. Thanks to everyone who came and helped us today. We greatly appreciate it!

(Pics are from our old barn, but will still be similar)

Birthday raffle tickets are live. They're $10/ticket. Buy 5, get the 6th free! If you win, this saves you a ton of money on the actual price of our birthday party package. Tickets are at the barn or with a board member. Give yourself the birthday party of a lifetime!

The party is 2 hours- 1 hour for 10 people to ride and 1 hour for games, presents, and cake.

Another donation! We feel so supported and loved by our community. Each purchase makes a difference. This is a fun one- bags game and velcro darts! There are only a few items left on our registry. Thank you!

We got several of these donated with great affirmations on them. They're fun to squish and talk about with students. Thank you for adding these to the program!

Toma takes great photos, and we are blessed to have her support!

Equestrian portrait sessions are open for the season.

Whether you’re celebrating your senior year or simply want to remember this time, this is about preserving the connection and the moments you’ll one day miss.

If this feels like something you’ve been wanting, you’re always welcome to reach out.

A portion of each session is donated to support Freedom Reins.

Woohoo!!! Shedding tools for the win. We got not only one, but two of these fancy brushes donated from our Amazon list. Thank you Courtlynn's grandma and Bella's dad! We can get the rest of these stubborn winter coats off. Ssooo satisfying!

We had a really cool opportunity to partner with the University of Illinois. A student led group, PAWS (Program for Animal Welfare), came out over the weekend. They learned about what we do, helped with some spring cleaning projects, and loved on our horses. It's neat when two passionate groups can benefit from one another. It was great having you and we look forward to hosting again!

We got this fun box today! There are so many ways this can be played. The students will love it! Thank you Garner family!

Volunteer of the month of March:

Sarah reached out sometime last year with an interest in starting her own faith-based therapeutic lesson program in Wisconsin. We were finally able to work out a time to get her here and job shadow for 2 weeks. With her completed work hours, she's one step closer to reaching her goal of serving her community in a unique way.

Outside of the barn, Sarah is a devoted wife, mom to 5, very involved in church, and home schools her kids!

It's been a privilege getting to know you and you've been incredibly helpful these first couple weeks of spring. We've been two peas in a pod! Do you have to go back home? 🥺💚
