Meet Captain 💛

Captain (aka Grand Press Captain) is our golden guy with a big personality to match his shine. Born in 2005, he’ll be celebrating his 21st birthday this May, and he’s been part of the Spirit family for nearly 10 years.

He’s the boss of his pen, a professional “smiler,” and if you’re lucky… you might get greeted with one of his signature t***s as you walk in 😄 But don’t worry, he makes up for it with his absolute love for neck scratches.

We wouldn’t have him any other way. 💫

Join us for our Open House at Spirit TRC on May 2 💛

From 12:30–3:30 pm, we’re welcoming the community for a fun, family-friendly afternoon—free to attend!

Bring the kids, meet all 8 of our incredible horses, and spend time getting to know our equine partners up close. Stop by our education station to learn what goes into caring for them and the important role they play in our program.

We’ll also be kicking off our horse sponsorship efforts, with opportunities to support and care for the horses who make this work possible.

We can’t wait to see you there 🐎

Today we’re celebrating Lad! 💛

He has been part of the Spirit family for 16 years, sharing his gentle heart with so many riders, volunteers, and staff along the way. Horses like Lad make Spirit what it is, and we are so lucky to have him.

Thank you for 16 wonderful years, Lad! 🐴✨

Meet Jami Truax

Jami Truax has loved horses for as long as she can remember. She began riding and showing at just three years old, growing up in the barn and developing a deep respect for the partnership between horse and rider.

For more than 20 years, Jami has dedicated her professional life to serving others, especially children and young people with special needs. Her compassionate nature helps create a supportive environment where individuals can build confidence, independence, and joy.

At Spirit Therapeutic Riding Center, Jami brings together her lifelong love of horses and her passion for helping others, creating meaningful and inclusive experiences for every rider. 🐎💛

Snowy barn days are busy but peaceful. Horses fed, cat on patrol, and everything covered in fresh snow.

Meet Heather!
Our Saturday Instructor

I started at Spirit in the spring of 2025 as an instructor. I’ve been teaching riding lessons since 1998 and therapeutic riding since 2010. I feel truly blessed to still be doing what I was called to do all those years ago, after completing two higher education programs.

If you were a horse, what color would you be and what would your name be?
I think I would be an American Bashkir, and my name might be Hilde.

Now that you’ve decided who you are as a horse, what would your equine job be?
I’d want a versatile job—cow work, therapy, and outdoor adventures.
