The Compadres Therapy, Inc. therapy horses experienced the snowflakes that finally arrived in the El Paso Borderland Region! While the winter storm was brief, it was an important reminder that our therapy horses have special care needs during cold temperatures.

A heartfelt thank you to Spur-C Stables for providing shelters, access to fresh (unfrozen) water, and increased feed to keep our horses healthy, comfortable, and content during these colder days and nights. ❤️ ❄️

Cold weather care is especially important when it comes to managing water intake (horses may drink less when water is cold) and increasing forage consumption (with good quality hay) to help them generate body heat.

To learn more about managing horse care during the cold weather, these two articles offer thoughtful insights:

Thank you to our staff, volunteers and supporters who help ensure our therapy horses are well cared for, no matter the weather. Our amazing therapy horses give so much and we are grateful that we can help keep them thriving throughout the year. 💕 🥶 ☀️ 🐎

Compadres Therapy, Inc. is deeply grateful for the incredible volunteers in 2025 who have supported our participants during their equine assisted services sessions. Their time, care, and dedication have made a meaningful difference in every connection the participants have made with our therapy horses, and we are honored to recognize all our volunteers for their contributions. Thank you for enriching lives with your service.

Earlier this year, we were especially proud to celebrate Jo Ann, who was honored with The Commission of the Yellow Rose of Texas - an honorary commission conferred by the Governor of Texas to recognize exceptional community service by Texas women.

Jo Ann (with the support of Jim and her family) has dedicated more than 35 years to serving individuals throughout the El Paso Borderland region, and her compassion, leadership, and commitment continue to inspire us all. Her calm presence, deep knowledge, and lifelong enthusiasm to horsemanship ensure our horses are healthy, content, and trusted partners in the healing process.

We are grateful for Jo Ann’s continued dedication and heart for service and the lasting impact she has made in our community - especially with health and welfare of our special therapy horse herd. ❤️ 🦄

Congratulations to our Equine Skills Class (Part 1) graduates! 🎉 🐎

During an especially busy holiday season, these dedicated volunteers made time to learn, grow, and connect with each other and with the horses. Exploring the why’s and how’s of equine assisted services alongside these experienced horse folks made for meaningful conversations, hands-on learning, and plenty of smiles.

A heartfelt thank you to Nancy, Damon, Christine, Augusta, and Norma for showing up with curiosity and enthusiasm, and to our wonderful and facilitators; Kim, Martha, Shelby, and Joy - for sharing their knowledge, care, and passion.

We are so grateful for the learning, laughter, and connection that filled this class. Here’s to continuing the educational journey together into the New Year. 💕 ✨

Compadres Therapy, Inc. celebrates and honors our incredible therapy horses on this National Day of the Horse, December 13, 2025. ❤️ 🦄

12/03/2025

Today is International Day of People with Disabilities, and an impact report from the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) has shed a compelling light on a horse's ability to reach places no other therapy can.

Across the UK, more than 39,000 disabled riders, carriage drivers and equine-assistant learning participants rely on RDA each year.

Fresh research shows just how far that support truly reaches, and why the equestrian community's involvement has never been more important.

Martha and Joy were proud to represent Compadres Therapy, Inc., recently, at the 2025 PATH International Conference in Denver, CO!

One of the highlights was visiting the Temple Grandin Equine Center at Colorado State University in Fort Collins to learn about the latest research in equine-assisted services.

We were also incredibly inspired by the General Session keynote speaker, Dr. Temple Grandin, who shared her Insights into Animal Behavior and Autism. She was so gracious in taking time to chat and answer questions during her book signing.

Thank you to PATH International, Temple Grandin Equine Center at CSU, and all who continue to support equine-assisted services in the El Paso Borderland. ❤️ 🐎
